FutureSafe is a managed security services partner (MSSP) that provides a curated, best-in-breed stack of cybersecurity products and services to managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients. After starting as an MSP named NoctisIT, FutureSafe pivoted to providing cybersecurity products and services to address a growing market need for security expertise. Over 300 MSPs in the US, Canada and Australia currently rely on FutureSafe’s comprehensive solution stack and implementation expertise.
CHALLENGE
Amid evolving data protection laws and cyber threats, MSPs face increased regulatory and litigative pressure to demonstrate the highest level of cybersecurity expertise. In the event of a data breach, they must meet a heavy burden of proof to show they have deployed the appropriate tools and expertise on behalf of their client. Over the course of his career, Jason Whitehurst, Channel Cybersecurity Evangelist and founder at FutureSafe, has watched the complexity of the cybersecurity landscape outpace legacy IT infrastructure expertise – exposing a lack of implementation and management expertise among many MSPs.
“We’ve handled hundreds of cases where an MSP comes to us in an emergency state after providing security solutions to a client, and something wasn’t properly implemented,” said Whitehurst. “That puts them in a bad position in the event of a compromise and any follow-on action in relation to the incident.” Recognizing the added risk and financial burden MSPs take on by selling cybersecurity solutions without the proper expertise, FutureSafe provides a full security stack backed by an experienced security operations center (SOC)-as-a[1]service team. Ensuring secure connectivity for its MSP clients requires, among other components, best-in[1]class SASE and email security solutions
