Frequently Asked Questions

General

  • What are Managed Security Services?

    Managed Security Services provide ongoing proactive cybersecurity maintenence with features like anti-virus protection, 24×7 monitoring, patching and remote support. There’s multiple layers and levels of security so you can focus your time on growing your business instead of reacting to IT issues.

  • Why do I need Managed Security Services?

    Maintaining a secure digital environment requires consistent monitoring and timely software updates. Without these, your system may become an easy target for cyber threats. It’s crucial to exercise due care and diligence to avoid potential legal liabilities and fines. 

  • Why not use a break/fix IT model?
