Need of Information Security

Information security is necessary for all businesses. Outsourcing IT security is growing in popularity because of its affordability and effectiveness. With the media constantly covering information about security breaches, business owners are in search of solutions to prevent them from losing millions of dollars due to password hacks, stolen credit card numbers, and viruses.

Many IT managers are fearful of what could happen to their data and are in a quandary about the best course of action to take to prevent a security breach. Instead of being fearful and confused, IT managers must learn to take action.

Why is Outsourcing Necessary?

Based on statistics, a security breach is inevitable. In the past, 70 percent of attacks originated inside the network. With the advancement of technology, both internal and external breaches are likely. Business owners should not delay finding a solution to handle security needs. Answers to some simple questions can help IT managers make decisions about the best solution for your company:

.       Is there a security policy document in your business’s security plan?

.       Is there a dedicated security staff available?

.       Is there a plan of action or disaster recovery plan for security breaches?

.       How long does it take your security staff to identify a security breach?

Benefits of Outsourcing IT Security

More Affordable: Sure, dedicated security professionals are preferred, but most startups and small businesses cannot afford them. Each IT security professional’s salary may cost between $60,000 and $90,000. Since most companies require three, the costs rise to a number between $180,000 and $270,000. Outsourcing is a more affordable and effective solution to prevent security breaches.

Monitor Security Around the Clock. Security is available 24 hours per day and seven days per week when IT security is outsourced.

The service is available at a fraction of the cost because the professional is not only monitoring your company’s site but also other company’s sites.

For companies to provide this type of in-house support, three full-time professionals would need to be hired. Most companies cannot afford to hire three highly-skilled professionals to monitor servers around the clock. Outsourcing is preferred for this reason.

No Training Costs. IT managers do not need to be concerned about training costs. Outsourcing IT companies train their professionals to handle the latest security issues and incidents.

Services such as disaster recovery, employee awareness education, security policy documentation, penetration testing, auditing and monitoring may all be offered from a single source. This method is more efficient and preferable to many.
