While the digital age has undoubtedly changed many facets of modern business for the better—such as operational efficiency, communication, and capacity for innovation—a marked uptick in cyber threats in online spaces remains an unfortunate side effect of its rise. Hackers and other bad actors won’t hesitate to exploit technology for illicit purposes, and companies with a weak security posture or gaps in their digital defences are prime targets. Such conditions make investments in cybersecurity a must for any businesses operating in most industries today.
If your company is looking to beef up its online security, working with a managed security services (MSS) provider like Network Edge is one of the best and simplest ways to do so. You can think of MSS providers as akin to digital security guards that protect your business’s online systems, devices, and data from cyber threats. They’ll spare you the trouble of installing, monitoring, and maintaining your own cybersecurity systems, as they’re generally equipped to handle any and all parts of the job for you.
At Network Edge, we want you to settle for no less than the best MSS available, so your business enjoys top-tier protection at all times. To help you make smarter choices regarding your desired providers and services, we’ve prepared this detailed guide on how these services work and what benefits that the businesses that utilise them can expect. Here’s Network Edge’s perspective:
As mentioned above, MSS providers like Network Edge specialise in helping businesses stay safe from hackers, viruses, data breaches, and other dangers often encountered online. Here’s an overview of the typical functions we perform for client companies:
We use top-of-the-line security solutions to keep an eye on your devices, systems, and networks round-the-clock. We’ll look out for any unusual activity, such as unauthorised access attempts or signs of malware, and alert you immediately if we spot a potential threat.
Cybercriminals are always looking to exploit any weaknesses in your security systems. We’ll keep them out by scanning your systems regularly for vulnerabilities and applying any updates or patches necessary to eliminate these weak spots.
We’ll always do our best to prevent security incidents from happening in the first place, but in the event of cyberattacks or breaches, we’ll also be sure to act fast. We’re ready to contain the threat, restore your normal operations, and keep damage to a minimum—all as quickly as possible.
Network Edge will help you arrive at a centralised view into your organisation's security posture by collecting, analysing, and correlating data from across its IT environment. We can identify potential threats by monitoring for suspicious activity in real-time, generating alerts, and providing detailed logs for investigation, all so that you and your team are never caught off-guard.
Cybersecurity is a complex, continuously evolving field, and it’s a tall order for most companies to stay updated on the latest threats and security solutions while also prioritising their core work. We employ a team of expert professionals to provide you with any support you need for your security concerns, anytime, so that you don’t have to hire or train specialists in-house.
Most businesses who choose to work with MSS providers do so because it relieves them of the expectation to become cybersecurity experts themselves. Instead, they can focus on achieving their own business objectives with the assurance that someone is keeping a watchful eye on their digital security.
The following are some of the major benefits your business stands to gain from leveraging MSS with a partner like Network Edge:
MSS providers know that early detection is the best way to keep minor issues from escalating into major incidents. To that end, we’ll monitor your systems 24/7. This means you’ll always have someone watching for cyber threats, even when your team is off the clock.
It can be both expensive and time-consuming to build your own in-house security team from the ground up, particularly if you run a small- or medium-sized business. With MSS, you’ll gain immediate access to high-quality services and technology—all at a fraction of the cost of maintaining an internal team and security infrastructure.
Many of today’s most advanced security tools may be too costly or complex for a business to manage independently, so let us do it for you. We make it a point to familiarise ourselves with the latest threat detection systems, vulnerability scanners, firewalls, and more.
You can expect your security needs to evolve as your business grows. You might need to monitor a larger network, secure additional devices, or expand your protections to include new locations or cloud environments, among other changes. Fortunately, we can adjust our services easily to accommodate whatever you need, and we’re well-positioned to implement any new measures swiftly so that you can benefit from them as soon as possible.
Ultimately, cybersecurity is too important an aspect of your business operations to leave to chance. We at Network Edge are more than happy to do the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping your organisation’s assets and information safe in digital spaces. Get in touch with us and beef up your protections today.
