Cyber threats wait for no one. Threat actors are constantly
evolving new ways to compromise systems to steal money
and data, and they often execute their attacks at night or on
holidays—when they think no one will be watching. It’s easy
to think that small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)
would be small enough to escape a threat actor’s notice, but
in fact the opposite is true: SMBs often make more attractive
targets because they often have less security investment.
Even worse, 60% of SMBs that are hit by a cyber attack go
out of business in six months1.
Many SMBs depend on managed service providers (MSPs) to
help protect them, so how can an MSP best defend their SMB
clients from cyber threats? Including managed detection
and response (MDR) as part of an MSP’s service plans can
help. MDR helps protect endpoints by combining endpoint
security technology (EDR and next-generation antivirus) with
24/7 monitoring provided by a security operations center
(SOC) and effective threat mitigation processes, set in place
by the SOC. Because most MSPs have neither the funds nor
the time available to set up their own SOC, partnering with
an MDR service is the ideal way to bring this protection and
peace of mind to their clients.
The SonicWall SOC is staffed by security experts who defend
SMBs and the MSPs who serve them every day. We’re
excited that SonicWall is now partnering with CrowdStrike as
part of SonicSentry MDR. Our partners are now able to enjoy
the 24/7 threat monitoring and response of the SonicWall
SOC, powered by CrowdStrike’s industry-leading endpoint
security tools.
