A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a third-party business that provides network, application, and system management services to companies. MSPs allow businesses without IT expertise to improve their cybersecurity framework and avoid potential security incidents. MSPs often work remotely, offsite from the company they’re performing IT tasks for but do go onsite to ensure success in various IT projects when needed. MSPs allow small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to reduce their IT budget, be cost-effective, and focus on the core business.
MSPs will perform a number of tasks that typical staff members may not be able to do. Examples include:
