Security Tech Stack

Technology Investments Fuel Efficiency and Profits

The spend for security as a percentage of the IT budget is growing, and MSPs across the globe are adopting technology to enable new managed security services. Security tech stack changes can also promote business share shift from less profitable, project-based products to newer, more profitable services-based products. Maximize your ROI by adding security technology that’s built on a unified platform for scalable, efficient operations and a faster ramp of multiple new offerings.


MSP Security Tech Stack – How can you optimize your security business?

Adding a new technology to your stack is an important decision critical to the strategy and goals of your business. These are some of the technologies to add or change for improvements to the top and bottom line alike.

Firewalls

Deliver HTTP and HTTPS inspection, VPN, and SD-WAN capabilities via hardware and Cloud versions that scale for rapid growth.

Network Security Services

Provide layered security to block advanced threats with antivirus, web & DNS filtering, sandboxing, IPS, antispam, and more.

Wi-Fi Security

Maintains a safe, fast corporate wireless environment from the Cloud using the latest Wi-Fi technology and WPA3 standards.

Endpoint Security

Brings strong security directly to devices with endpoint AV, protection, detection, response and DNS filtering capabilities.

Identity Security

Protects user identities and credentials from being used by hackers for unauthorized access to networks and applications.

Email Security

Adds a combination of spam filters, antivirus, and encryption to stop phishing attacks, email-borne malware, and ransomware.

Threat Hunting and MDR

Supports threat hunting analysts with tools to uncover hidden, advanced malware and deliver Managed Detection and Response services.

Security Stack to Grow Strong MSPs

Manage Risk with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Compliance mandates often require MFA, and security agencies like CISA are advising companies to deploy MFA and harden credentials to enable effective protection. Yet, many MSPs have yet to add an identity security service, making this one of the greatest business opportunities in security today.

70% of Cyberattacks Occur on the Endpoint

Endpoints are a challenge – they are largely out of reach of the corporate network and they have the riskiest use cases. By ditching AV-only products and deploying endpoint security with protection, detection and response technologies, you upgrade to the strong security your clients need.
