Managed Security Services: what are and why you can’t do without them
Managed Security Services are one of the most effective emerging tools to combat cyber threats in a context, today, where cyber dangers increase in number and danger.
According to the latest report Clusit (October 2024), in the first half of this year cyber attacks increased by 23% compared to the previous year, with an average of 9 “serious” attacks per day.
The Italian manufacturing sector was particularly affected, followed by a worrying increase in attacks on the health sector (+83% compared to 2023).
This shows how companies, especially the industrial sector made up of SMEs, must necessarily take action and rely on Managed Services to protect the IT infrastructure proactively 24/7 and thus ensure business continuity.
What are Managed Security Services?
The term Managed Security Services identifies all the offer of services and technologies that provides a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to a company, to monitor, detect and respond promptly to any type of cyber threat.
Thanks to the outsourced management mode, Managed Security Services represent the key that allows your company to enhance the security posture while remaining focused on your core business.
