Cybersecurity refers to the set of techniques, technologies and policies focused on protecting computers, networks, programs, devices, and data from unauthorized access, vulnerabilities, attacks and compromise that can lead to things like service disruptions, fraud, espionage, or destruction.

How Cybersecurity Relates to Managed IT:

– Comprehensive approach to reduce risk and enable resilience against constantly evolving digital threats.
– Requires ongoing vigilance through services like SIEM, endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed firewalls, intrusion prevention, vulnerability scanning, access controls and staff security training.
– MSP cybersecurity offerings provide integrated protection tailored to client operational priorities and compliance obligations.

Example:

A healthcare organization partners with WPG Consulting for unified patient data protection meeting HIPAA standards through the latest tools and 24/7 security operations support.

Key Takeaways:

– Securing IT systems, connected tech and data from unauthorized activity or attack.
– Balances access, productivity and controls to manage risk appropriately within industries like healthcare, finance and education.
– MSPs deliver fully-integrated suites marrying modern security tools, analytics and trained experts.
