Security Models

Security Posture for Every Business

Did you know that the average cost of a cybersecurity incident is $7.68 million? We know why the cost of cyberattacks continues to rise (hybrid work, more sophisticated breaches). Let’s focus on security strategies that help you thrive in an ever-changing risk environment, without added complexity.

Building Reliable IT Structures

Threats are only getting more sophisticated and the demand for cybersecurity continues to grow. Despite the model you adopt, these fundamentals are key.

Today's hybrid work model requires a security approach that provides intelligent protection for environments, users, and devices.
An optimal security management process involves continuous monitoring, policy enforcement, and visibility that influences action when needed.
IT budgets are often designed to reflect the needs of the organization based on its model, size, and risk tolerance.
The technical skills needed in a security infrastructure include systems/network management, Cloud computing, incident handling, and more.

Choose the Security Model to Protect Your Business

In-House Cybersecurity

The decision to establish in-house security operations is driven by control. Are you able to own your technical infrastructure? Understanding the level of risk tolerance and internal capabilities to be accountable for continuous management, maintenance, and monitoring – and the costs associated with that – are the key questions to answer when assessing the type of security infrastructure that fits your business.

Outsourced Cybersecurity

When you outsource security, you gain access to dedicated expert teams to implement, monitor, and respond when needed. If aligned with your strategy, adding a managed service provider can give you access to top security trends and solutions without having to invest more.

Hybrid Security Management

Some companies choose to run some areas of their security internally, while also adding a managed service provider (MSP) to scale their IT operations and have access to a more advanced approach, thanks to the expertise and support that MSPs can provide.

How MSPs Can Transform the Security of the Hybrid Workforce

134 million workers worldwide will either be working remotely or in a flexible work model ~Canalys Estimates, March 2022

  • Modern IT technologies are both improving security and boosting productivity
  • Adding MSP services is a top security priority for many organizations with a hybrid workforce
  • Outsourced security can help reduce operational costs
