Cybersecurity solutions and managed security services are booming\u2014and with good reason! More and more businesses of all sizes are waking up to the (perhaps startling) reality that vulnerabilities exist everywhere, and pretty much anyone is fair game<\/a> when it comes to a potential breach.<\/p>\n

IT and managed service providers (MSPs)<\/a> are responding to customer demand as quickly as possible, but the market is far from saturated. The global managed security services market was worth more than $30 billion<\/a> in 2020, and cloud-based delivery models for cybersecurity<\/a> are growing in popularity for a variety of markets. Furthermore, more than a third of IT professionals have said they\u2019re increasingly focused on cybersecurity<\/a> as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 35% have reported a greater focus on business continuity.<\/p>\n

All this is to say that if your MSP business doesn\u2019t have a security offering, you\u2019re not only falling behind the competition and leaving money on the table, you\u2019re also leaving your clients open to attack! Adding just any cybersecurity solution to your stack to fill the void is hardly advisable, and yet you need to start somewhere.<\/p>\n

Sherweb\u2019s Office Protect Core<\/a> software is the place to begin. Even better, our latest offering\u2014Office Protect Alliance\u2014equips MSPs with proactive threat detection and response powered by Sherweb\u2019s in-house cybersecurity experts.<\/p>\n

Office Protect Alliance always has eyes on your business<\/h2>\n

Office Protect Core was designed to increase and simplify cybersecurity for Microsoft 365<\/a>. As one of the most popular business productivity suites, making sure your (or your clients\u2019) Microsoft 365 environment is secure is an excellent launchpad for delivering reliable security services<\/a>. With automated monitoring<\/a>, alerts and reporting<\/a>, Office Protect Core protects your Microsoft 365 tenants from a host of vulnerabilities such as business email compromise, data exfiltration, unusual changes to security policies and much, much more.<\/p>\n

Office Protect Alliance takes things to the next level. MSPs need informed support in order to make the delivery of security services worthwhile for their business. A survey of existing Sherweb partners revealed roughly half of respondents don\u2019t offer additional security products and services due to time constraints. Lack of time and capacity for 24\/7 monitoring were also cited as the biggest challenges in managing security for clients.<\/p>\n

Complete with everything included in the Office Protect Core offer, the Alliance plan<\/a> engages expert analysis and support from Sherweb for round-the-clock protection. Our security team takes over monitoring and incident response for your Microsoft 365 tenants, and alerts you if further action is required. You still own the relationship and any intervention with your clients\u2014we just help you out behind the scenes. Additional benefits for your business include:<\/p>\n
