For organisations MSSPs are an efficient and cost-effective way to protect their data and network from intrusions while reducing the complexity of the process. For example, hiring an in-house cybersecurity team can be more expensive than working with an MSSP plus MSSPs can also help businesses save money on equipment and software tools, key reasons why many businesses are now turning to MSSPs to secure their organisations.  Moving from VAR to MSSP can be resource and cost intensive which is why SonicWall and Exertis together have listened to our channel partners and launched a new managed security service offering to plug this gap.
