7 Things to Consider Before Hiring Cyber Security Services for Your Business
                     7 Things to Consider
Before Hiring
Cyber Security Services
for Your Business
With All That Being Said, We’ve Curated a List
of Key Factors to Look for in Choosing the Right
Cybersecurity Service Provider.
1. Experience in Providing Managed Cybersecurity Services
Not  all  service  providers  are
created  equally.  Much  like
individual  employees,  IT
teams  grow  and  hone  their
skills  over  the  years.  Teams
that have been in business for
long periods of time have an
upper  hand  in  the  sheer
svariety  of  cybersecurity
challenges  they  would  have
faced.  They  would  also  have
had  more  opportunities  to
refine their  solutions as  they
start  to  tackle  similar
cyberthreats.
2. Ability to Scale as your Business Grows
                                                                                         
Your company is constantly
evolving. As you multiply in
size,  the  challenge  of
protecting  your
network/data  will  become
increasingly  complex.
Here’s  another  situation
where you’ll want to make
sure  that  your  managed
cybersecurity  provider  has
the  necessary  experience
in  servicing  enterprise
operations. 
                                                                                           
                                                               
              3. Protection Against All Types of Attacks
Cyber  attacks  come  in  many  shapes  and  sizes.  When  you  choose  a
managed cybersecurity  service  provider,  you  want  to  make  sure  that
they are adept at handling all types of potential attacks.
To  give  you  a  basic  checklist,  you’ll  want  to  make  sure  that  your
managed cybersecurity package includes protection against:
 Ransomware
 Phishing
 Malware
 Trojans
 DDoS Attacks
 Data Breaches
Additionally, you’ll want to make sure that some cybersecurity education
programme is included in your package. Most cyberattacks are caused by
a  lack  of  knowledge  and  preparation.  By  making  sure  that  your
employees  are  properly  trained  against  basic  attacks,  you’re  already
ahead of most companies in Australia.
4. High Quality Customer Support
A  reputable  managed
cybersecurity package  will
come  with  meaningful
customer  support.  For
example, this means that you
should  be  able  to  call  your
provider  in  order  to  receive
clarification  on  any  specific
protections.  You  should  also
be able to alert  them of  any
strange activity  that  you find
happening  within  your
network. 
5. Certification and Accreditation
Many  IT  services  come  with
accompanying  certification
programmes  to  make  sure
professionals  possess  the
necessary  skills  to  perform
that service. While meaningful
experience  trumps
certification, it is often in your
best interest to find a provider
that possesses both. 
                                                                                             
6. Reputability and Body of Work
Naturally,  you’ll  want  to
check  the  reviews.  Any
proper  cybersecurity
services provider will  have
easily  accessible  proof  of
the  work  that  they  have
done.  This  may  be  in  the
form  of  an  extensive
portfolio,  testimonials,  or
references.  At  the  very
least  they’ll  have  a  good
story  to  tell  you  about  a
time  they  did  something
that they’re proud of.
  
7. Price
   
There’s no way around it – proper
protection can be costly. However,
it  is  undoubtedly  worthwhile
investment  that  will  save  you
much more than it can potentially
cost  you.  Regardless  of  the
benefits, you’ll  still  want to make
sure  that  you  consider  all  of  the
factors that we mentioned earlier
when  you  decide  on  if  a  service
provider  is  charging  a  reasonable
fee.  Ultimately,  by  opting  for  a
team that has proven experience,
you may have to pay more for the
service.
