HOW WE WORK

The Benefits of Working with SME

After determining our customer needs, we go to work sourcing the best solutions. We then present all vendor proposals in our Side-By-Side for business review, offering our expert industry advice along the way. ​Customers choose options that best fit their needs and contract directly with the vendor. We will assist in project managing installation and will continue to offer support post-sale with billing and trouble ticket escalation, as well as adding or changing additional services.

Cybersecurity: Rising to the Challenge

Everyday, data breaches affect companies of all sizes. With the average cost of a data breach in 2021 reaching $4.24 million (a 17 year record high according to IBM’s annual report), some businesses never recover. As breaches get larger and increasingly make headlines, the number one business priority is cybersecurity.
SECURITY AS A SERVICE

Cybersecurity Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

Technology plays a big part in how vulnerable — or how prepared — an organization is, often protecting against more advanced attacks. In 2020, 82% of compromised records were associated with only five attacks — all of which occurred due to database or service misconfigurations. The right security solutions can help detect and prevent such issues. Advanced technology and services such as AI and/or ML, zero trust strategies and advanced cloud use can help mitigate the growing cybersecurity threat.

Security as a Service (SECaaS) manages scalable security solutions that support your network or IT infrastructure. Whether you need data loss prevention, ongoing monitoring or another form of protection, different vulnerabilities call for different solutions.

That’s where we come in. 

Breadth of Talent

Cybersecurity demands specialized expertise in areas like infrastructure and cloud security. Maintaining an in-house team with diverse skills is expensive, leading to potential security gaps. Settling for subpar security isn't viable as it risks irreparable damage. SECaaS provides easy access to specialized talent, addressing these challenges effectively.

Keeping Up with Change

Partnering with a SECaaS provider ensures constant vigilance in the face of rising cybersecurity attacks and vulnerabilities. Their exclusive focus on security and expertise in monitoring risks and vulnerabilities allows them to adapt quickly to changes, simplifying the process of safeguarding your business.

Predictable Cost

In-house staff entail continuous expenses like salary negotiations, raises, bonuses, benefits, and more. Moreover, hiring or replacing personnel adds extra charges. In contrast, SECaaS providers disclose all monthly or yearly costs in advance, enabling you to select a suitable provider and be prepared for the expenses.
