IT Service’s Buyer’s Guide 2022

If you’re thinking of switching IT support companies, you must read this guide first

One of the most critical partnerships your business will ever make is with your IT support company.

Just think how dependent you and your team are on technology. When everything works as it should, it’s liberating.

But when you’re constantly battling big problems and small frustrations, it’s exhausting. And that impacts everything.

What’s happened over the last few years has taught businesses just how important their IT partner is. We’ve been inundated with new enquiries.

So, we wrote this guide. It’s not about us; it’s about all IT support companies and how to choose the right one for you. Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Why you want a partner that thinks strategically
  • The reasons business owners and managers like you switch IT support providers
  • How to protect the most important asset your business owns
  • And why you should be highly skeptical of all IT support businesses (yes, including us)

The next step is to book a 15 minute video call at a time that suits you. There’s no obligation to buy anything, ever. Here’s our live calendar:

ThreatLocker:

ThreatLocker is a zero-trust endpoint security tool giving companies control over what software can run, by whom, and what data can be accessed.

It keeps a full detailed audit of what applications are used and data accessed/transferred/deleted and by what users (signature tracking, etc.) If something unusual happens, such as a signature change, or a user opens an application that is out of their normal routine the administrator is alerted. This is a crucial tool in identifying malware threats, as well as helping organizations identify if users are accessing applications and/or data/ files they should not be.

ThreatLocker provides a solution that allows businesses to control the content that runs on their network. Unlike AntiVirus software ThreatLocker is not looking for known viruses or malware. ThreatLocker uses a complex set of rules to determine what can be executed on a network and stops anything that has not been approved before it can even execute.

Huntress:

Huntress is a supplement to SentinelOne. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated, and Huntress actively seeks out these threat actors with a "defend forward" mentality. This software combines both advanced security tools along with human intervention to ensure even the most advanced hackers can't penetrate your network.

SentinelOne:

SentinelOne is a comprehensive enterprise security platform that provides threat detection, hunting, and response features that enable organizations to discover vulnerabilities and protect IT operations. SentinelOne integrates static artificial intelligence (AI) to provide real-time endpoint protection and reduce false positives that derail investigations or make threat detection a capital-intensive process. This will replace Webroot in your current environment.
