What are the main benefits of
using an MSSP?

The two main factors
driving MSS adoption
are access to expertise
and cost efficiency.
The two main factors driving MSS
adoption are access to expertise and cost
efficiency. Managed services help move IT
budgets from intimidating CapEx to more
manageable OpEx while trusting the IT
infrastructure to a team of qualified experts.
This is especially helpful in the Middle East
wherein the lack of qualified cybersecurity
professionals is a pressing concern.
MSSPs have teams of expertly qualified
and certified technical professionals.
Through their work with large pools of
clients, they are exposed to and therefore
knowledgeable of the threat landscape.
Security intelligence will be one of the
key pillars of cybersecurity in the years
ahead so having access to large client
pools provides MSSPs with the wealth of
information they need to analyse and act
upon. Furthermore, MSSPs can invest in
best-of-breed technologies that customers
– especially SMBs and SMEs – simply would
not be able to afford.
The pay-as-you-go model lends itself to
both upward or even downward scalability.
And then, availability is also a factor as with
an MSSP, customers get 24x7 support with
assured 99+% availability which ensures that
business is always on.

What makes a good MSSP?
The excellent MSSP is made just like your
favourite dish of your childhood cooked in
Mum’s kitchen.
All the ingredients are handpicked,
utilised in the most refined way, followed
by a stringent process, automated and
innovated over years of experience, provided
to the loveliest but nagging family members,
prepared and served by the best person in
the world.
