The Endpoint Protection Plan: A Game-Changer for MSPs and Their SMB Customers
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face increasing cybersecurity threats. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like you, the challenge is not only to protect your clients’ endpoints but also to offer comprehensive solutions that cover everything from patch management to advanced threat detection. Often these services are coming from a mix of internal and external providers with no single source of responsibility and accountability. That’s why you need an Endpoint Protection Plan that provides a powerful, all-inclusive security solution that you can sell to your SMB customers.
Why SMBs Need Comprehensive Endpoint Protection
SMBs
Need Updated endpoints and EDR, and a Comprehensive Protection for Their Cloud Application Protection.
SMBs often operate with limited IT resources, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. SMBs are completely reliant on MSPs to safeguard their IT environments, but traditional security measures are no longer sufficient to combat modern threats. SMBs need a robust, multi-layered defense strategy that includes more than just basic antivirus software. They need to make sure each endpoint is fully updated and maintained (via patch management) plus advanced solutions like Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and comprehensive protection for their cloud-based applications like Microsoft 365.
What is Endpoint Protection Plan?
The Endpoint Protection Plan is designed to address these challenges by offering three critical components, with flexibility built into the deployment process:
1. Patching: Leveraging Your Existing RMM Tool
2. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Flexible Options to Fit Your Needs
- Use Your Existing EDR Licenses: If you already have an EDR solution in place, you can continue using your existing licenses while benefiting from our expert EDR SOC service to monitor and manage threats.
- Bundled EDR Licenses and SOC Service: Alternatively, you can leverage a comprehensive bundle that includes both the EDR software licenses and the complete 24×7 EDR SOC service. This all-in-one package ensures you have everything needed to protect your clients’ endpoints effectively.
- Real-Time Threat Detection: EDR provides continuous monitoring of all endpoints, detecting and alerting to threats in real-time. This includes identifying unusual behaviors that could indicate a cyberattack, such as unauthorized access attempts or data exfiltration.
- Rapid Incident Response: In the event of a security incident, the SOC provides rapid response and remediation, containing the threat before it can spread and cause significant damage.
3. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace Protection via SIEM: Safeguarding Email
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): The plan includes SIEM integration for Microsoft 365, which collects and analyzes security data from cloud applications. This provides a comprehensive view of potential threats and helps MSPs quickly identify and address security issues.
- User Security: Protects against unauthorized file and folder activities, malicious sharing and access request activities and Exchange mailbox activities.
- Administration Security: Protects against unauthorized site administration activities, malicious user administration activities and group administration activities.
Benefits for MSPs: A Profitable and Scalable Offering
The Endpoint Protection Plan is not just beneficial for SMBs; it also offers significant advantages for MSPs:
- Increased Revenue Streams: By offering this comprehensive security solution, MSPs can generate additional revenue from both existing and new clients. The flexibility to use existing EDR licenses or opt for a bundled solution makes it an attractive offer for a wide range of clients.
- Scalability: The plan is designed to scale with the MSP’s business. Whether managing a handful of clients or hundreds, the Endpoint Protection Plan can be tailored to fit the needs of any SMB, making it easier for MSPs to expand their service offerings.
- Reduced Operational Overhead: By leveraging your existing RMM tool for patch management and offering flexible EDR licensing options, the plan reduces complexity and administrative workload, freeing up resources to focus on other critical areas of your business.
- Customer Trust and Loyalty: Offering a robust, proactive security solution enhances the MSP’s reputation as a trusted advisor. By protecting SMB clients from the latest cyber threats with a customizable, comprehensive plan, MSPs can build long-lasting relationships based on trust and reliability.
