Advantages of managed security services

An organization may choose to obtain managed security services rather than keep network security entirely in-house for a variety of reasons. Some of the benefits of this approach area listed below:

  • Security expertise
    Cyberattacks and digital threats to enterprise security are evolving rapidly in terms of both scale and complexity. The technical experts at Direct Networks are familiar with the latest industry trends and best practices to stay ahead of digital threats, especially since we have extensive experience across several types of organizations.

  • Continuous security monitoring
    Many organizations simply lack the IT resources to effectively manage all aspects of network security at all hours of the day. In today's global business environment, it's more important than ever to practice 24/7 security monitoring and threat detection to avoid becoming a victim of the next headline-breaking data breach.

  • Lower opportunity costs for IT resources
    By outsourcing the main network security tasks to our managed security team, organizations can free up internal IT resources to focus on other critical projects. Rather than having to train and retain or hire expensive security professionals, businesses can work with us and receive security services that scale with the growth of their organization.

Looking to become leaders in their industry

Considerations for managed security providers

When partnering with a managed security service provider, keep these key considerations in mind:

  • A service partner should be a proven leader at managing security for other organizations. Ideally, they should have direct experience working with organizations of similar size and data requirements as well as a track record of preventing serious data disasters from occurring.
  • Another important factor is the level of customer support received. Although some or all security services may be outsourced to a third party, enterprise security is essential to all organizations and it's important for internal stakeholders to remain actively engaged. Ask about indicators such as the incident response rate to assess how quickly the MSP can detect threats and communicate when action needs to be taken.
