Cybercriminals are evolving, and your business must evolve too. In 2025, small and medium-sized businesses will remain top targets for cyberattacks such as ransomware, phishing, and social engineering. Without the right solutions, many risk not just a data breach, but their entire business.
One report states that 60% of small businesses go out of business due to a breach or cyber-attack. In this article, we’ll discuss some crucial cybersecurity solutions any business can use to protect themselves. We’ll discuss managed IT and cybersecurity services we offer and why your business may need a managed IT and cybersecurity service.
Managed IT and Cybersecurity Services
Small businesses are the primary targets of cyberattacks. Since they often lack the resources to maintain their own in-house IT teams. The solution? Partnering with a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). At Kirkham IronTech, we’re a top 250 MSSP with decades of experience in the IT and cybersecurity sector. Here’s a breakdown of the services to look for when evaluating a managed IT provider:
Managed Cybersecurity Services: Stay ahead of the cybersecurity landscape with solutions like continuous monitoring, incident response, backup and disaster recovery, and password management.
Managed IT Services: We ensure your business is secure and up to date with IT support, consulting, cloud services, email management, and more.
Co-Managed Services: Partnering with an MSSP can give you the flexibility to customize your IT and cybersecurity needs. Allowing you to retain control over in-house operations while leveraging external expertise for enhanced security.
Why Your Business May Need Managed IT and Cybersecurity Services
We’ve outlined the services you should look for, but why are they critical for you and your business? Here’s how they protect you:
- Protection Against Advanced Cyber Threats: Attacks such as ransomware and malware are among the most common cyberattacks, that businesses and people face every day. As technology advances, these kinds of threats will only get harder and harder to deal with. The average ransomware payout in 2023 was $1,542,333. Hiring a managed security service provider helps mitigate these risks with proactive protection.
- Resource Limitations: Small businesses are the most susceptible to a cyberattack and usually have the least resources for any cybersecurity/IT protection. 46% of all cyber breaches impacted businesses with less than 1,000 employees, while 47% of businesses with fewer than 50 employees have no cybersecurity budget. You may think you’re too small to be targeted, but the statistics paint a different picture.
- Business Continuity: In the case of a cyberattack having a proper disaster recovery plan and backups are crucial, downtime can cost companies hundreds of thousands every hour. For medical organizations, their estimated cost of downtime was $15.5 million in 2023.
- Scale Services to Your Needs: Whatever size business you are, we can scale to meet your needs. Whether that be becoming your only IT provider or partnering with your in-house team, we strive to allow flexibility so you can focus on your core business operations. We want to foster a sense of trust that we will provide the most robust security measures possible.
