More and more organizations are becoming increasingly reliant on online business, which has led to exponential growth in digital exchanges of data and information. Thanks to the rapid pace of advancements in technology, organizations can operate more efficiently, while providing products and services that better serve their customers. However, with the greater reliance on online business and widespread availability of more powerful technology, organizations must prioritize their network and data security needs. After all, in the same way that businesses have benefited from advancements in technology, so too have those who engage in malicious online activity.
Each time data is shared between two or more end-users, there is opportunity for attackers to exploit any existing vulnerabilities within the network. If a company experiences a data breach, and their data falls in the wrong hands, this can cause severe cataclysmic damage to both customers and the organization. Irrespective of the company size, network vulnerabilities mean an organization is prone to such malicious attacks, and that the fallout always comes with a price.
Fortunately, these concerns can be addressed. With a solid security strategy backed by the experience and expertise of a trusted provider in managed IT services like CrimsonIT, businesses can rest assured that their information will be kept safe from unauthorized access.
Additionally, opting to work with a managed services provider (MSP) instead of a company’s own in-house team will translate to significant cost-savings, access to the latest technologies, scalability, and ongoing support from a like-minded business.
Cost-savings
Building an in-house team of IT experts can be a very expensive venture -- requiring additional spending on continuous training for employees. MSPs can reduce these types of costs. When working with a provider, your company gets access to their team of experts, typically included in a standard monthly retainer, which grants you access to expertise that would normally be very expensive on its own. Further, for an in-house team to stay on top of emerging threats and new technologies, a company must have a significant budget set aside for regular software and hardware updates, in addition to providing specialty staff training. By hiring an MSP, companies reduce capital expenditures in these areas significantly.
Access to the Latest Technologies
At CrimsonIT, we keep ourselves up to date with the latest technology and security advances, using that knowledge to improve your business. We know that cyber criminals are smart, forever evolving the way they work and their methods of attack. Malicious activity often goes far beyond spear phishing emails or tricking end-users into clicking on a link. That’s why we stay on top of emerging trends -- to stay innovative and informed requires a lot of time and effort. Whereas doing so in-house requires significant resources, when you work with Crimson IT you gain access to an entire team of experts, letting you focus on your business while we ensure you’re protected. Malware protection, malware removal tools, penetration testing, risk management, risk assessment, and approaches to thwart spear phishing attacks -- you can count on us.
Scalability
Given time and cost, scalability may be difficult to achieve without bringing in external help. As demand rises in a thriving business, an MSP can help to efficiently distribute the IT workload and keep things moving in the right direction. An MSP is best-positioned to provide on-demand access to extra resources so business operations can continue growing, without any disruptions. At CrimsonIT, we take an aggressive approach to understanding the ins-and-outs of your IT systems, ensuring that we have everything we need to cover your security bases and protect your network against any possible attack, at any stage of your growth.
