Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP) have already established themselves as reliable partners for businesses of all sizes. The reason for this is that MSSP embodies a very useful and efficient partnership model.

Building a cybersecurity team and creating effective set of cybersecurity solutions on your own would be a costly endeavor even for large enterprise: average annual salaries of cybersecurity experts easily reach $100.000+, dedicated security hardware and software are expensive and frequently come with annual licensing costs. In-house cybersecurity team will easily cost you more than $1.000.000 annually.

Fortunately, as a Trilight Security customer, you will have it all at a small fraction of the cost. Instead of large capital and recurring operating expenses we offer you efficient cybersecurity with only operational expenses that are truly affordable. You save on training, as you will leverage expertise from MSSP, you save on hiring and on technology. And for these predictable and sensible expenses, as a key MSSP benefit, you will be provided with access to expertise and technology that is otherwise financially and organizationally difficult (or impossible for SMB) to build on its own.

Technological Benefit #3

Have All Alerts Triaged and Threats Identified

IT infrastructure and systems of any enterprise generate vast amounts of security relevant data. Logins, uploads and other, up to millions and tens of millions actions every month. Actual threat can be one in hundreds of thousands or even less. This is a primary reason for IT professionals to suffer from alert fatigue, a failure to respond to presumably false alerts. However, one of which can and some day will be true.

It is a problem even for organizations with strong cybersecurity programs covering perimeter, endpoints, networks and data because all these tools are difficult to synchronize and generate many logs of their own making aggregation and analysis even more complicated.

We will correlate your data with a database of threat intelligence info to identify threats and eliminate vulnerabilities.
