The most important success factor for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) is customer trust. Nonetheless, it’s only possible with the right company partnerships. MSPs need to select cybersecurity companies with tailored and strategic service and toolset offerings that can meet each customer’s evolving needs. As a result, MSPs require cybersecurity companies that both understand and deliver the approach to provide the best possible value. MSPs need to look for the following seven features when researching cybersecurity companies:
Products That Utilize a Zero-Trust Solution
All cybersecurity tools and functionalities should be based on zero trust that systematically classifies each binary before it’s executed on clients’ systems. Additionally, 59% of companies said that this model serves as a motivator for digital transformation.
Comprehensive Service Supporting MSPs
Check to see if the cybersecurity companies being vetted provide services that will help companies succeed. Top services that cybersecurity companies provide—all of which are components of a partnership with SpearTip—should include a channel partner program, end-user and executive training exercises, 24-hour technical support, and access to marketing and sales support materials.
Cloud and Automation Capabilities
Products need to be highly automated to maximize the efficiency of time and resource savings for clients’ IT and cybersecurity staff along with reducing alert fatigue. Furthermore, all products need to be available in the Cloud for remote access and control.
Cybersecurity Platforms
Examine whether cybersecurity companies’ products can be easily integrated so that MSPs’ teams need to only work with one platform. Working with a single platform saves time and money because it’s more efficient with daily operations and staff training. SpearTip’s ShadowSpear Platform is an integral cybersecurity solution powered by our 24/7/365 SOC making it the ideal platform for MSPs.
Align with Compliance Mandates
When it comes to cybersecurity, MSPs’ reputation is everything, so they need to ensure that the cybersecurity companies they partner with are aligned with all security regulations. Verify that their products adhere to security frameworks, including NIST, ISO, and MITRE ATT&CK.
Transparency in Security Breaches
A security breach is no longer a question of if, but of when it occurs. Examine how cybersecurity companies have handled previous breaches. It’s preferable to work with companies who have been transparent and straightforward about the breaches and responding to them. SpearTip has over 16 years of experience responding to security breaches and assisting businesses in the full recovery of assets.
Forward Thinking Strategic Improvements
