Small businesses often need strong cybersecurity but may not have a large internal security team. Managed service providers can help by combining IT support with ongoing security practices.

Endpoint Protection

MSPs can deploy and manage endpoint protection across business computers and monitor systems for issues.

Patch Management

Keeping operating systems and applications updated reduces exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Identity and MFA

MSPs can help configure multifactor authentication, account controls, permissions, and secure access.

Backup and Recovery

Managed backup can help businesses recover from accidental deletion, hardware failures, and ransomware when backups are properly protected and tested.

Security Monitoring

Depending on the provider, services may include monitoring, alert management, endpoint detection, vulnerability management, or coordination with an MSSP.

Finding Providers

InfoMSP provides an MSP/MSSP database that can help organizations research providers by location, services, technologies, and other criteria. A free sample is available for organizations evaluating the data.
