EasyChair Preprint 15766

Abstract

As organizations increasingly face sophisticated cyber threats, securing their networks has become a top priority. Many businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), struggle to maintain effective security measures due to resource constraints and the complexity of modern cybersecurity challenges. One viable solution to this dilemma is outsourcing network security to Managed Service Providers (MSPs). By partnering with MSPs, businesses can leverage their expertise, advanced technologies, and economies of scale to enhance network security, reduce risks, and ensure compliance with industry standards. This article explores the benefits of outsourcing network security to MSPs, including cost savings, improved threat detection and response, scalability, and access to specialized skills. It also examines how MSPs can help businesses build a proactive security strategy to safeguard sensitive data, maintain operational continuity, and address emerging cybersecurity threats in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
