There're many reasons SMBs need an experienced IT provider in their corner. There're plenty of scary cybersecurity statistics but what it comes down to is, are you taking appropriate steps to build up your security posture? Here're four key things to look for when choosing a cybersecurity partner.
-
Experience: Has the IT company implemented security measures for companies like yours before? Have they ever dealt with a breach?
-
Operational maturity: Does the IT security company have a process to develop your cybersecurity? Can the design engineer clearly articulate a path from your current technology state to a more mature security position that includes nuanced considerations of your business? Kosh has a free cybersecurity order of operations guide to help guide decision makers.
-
Certifications: Does the managed IT service provider or "IT guy" have advanced cybersecurity certifications?
-
Depth of expertise: A cybersecurity company should also have resources for Disaster Recovery and Managed Detection and Response.
These are just some of the considerations when selecting a cybersecurity company to partner with.

The Basics of Kosh Managed Cybersecurity Services
Investing in cybersecurity is no longer an option.
1. Architecture

Only with a complete picture of your company's current IT environment and needs, can our design engineer craft a technology architecture just right for you! The architecture is critical because it is the foundation that cybersecurity will be built upon. Building your technology strategy on a faulty architecture is a great way to invite cybercriminals into your network.
If you are unsure about your current architecture, it's time to get in touch to get it taken care of.

What about cyber insurance?
Kosh does not sell cyber insurance. We are more than happy to recommend cyber insurance companies we know and trust. Like cyber security, cyber insurance is a complicated and constantly changing field. We highly recommend all businesses have cyber insurance. It does not matter the size of your company or what industry it is in, cyber criminals are hitting everybody.
Typically, in order for a business to qualify for cyber insurance they must meet certain technical requirements. The requirements for obtaining cyber insurance vary from company to company. Kosh has a series of articles breaking down cyber insurance.
