Own it. Secure it. Protect it.

Cyber-crime and cyber-attacks are becoming more common with each passing day, with over half of SMBs having reported being the victims of cyber-crimes.

This significant threat to businesses can lead to disruption of operations, breach of business and customer data, unauthorized access to networks, and more. The average cost of a data breach for a small-to-medium business is a staggering $149,000.

MSPs can be the ideal partner of SMBs to fight cybercrime, as 62% of companies don’t have the required in-house skills. Managed IT teams can develop and implement security measures and even layout a recovery plan for probable attacks. The MSP helps the organization stay on top of cyber security trends and enables it to counter evolving cyber threats with full confidence.
