This one also maintains multiple security appliances, VPNs, and policies across diverse locations \u2013 a complex task. Ensuring the security of business applications in the Cloud and backhauling traffic through a data center for security inspection adds to this complexity. With this greenfield opportunity, we need to manage the demands of their cloud-based SaaS applications, navigate the challenges of a multi-national footprint, and uphold the urgent need for a robust firewall-as-a-service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This company has a strong preference for Palo Alto Networks. Therefore, we would discuss this potential solution with this customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SASE requires a profound understanding of both network and security technologies. Done well, SASE will secure your data without compromising network performance. Most importantly, you CAN manage the transition incrementally, without causing disruptions to business operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managed services work for YOU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your company is hesitant about handing the reins over to a managed service provider, these are the arguments you can take to your finance and operations teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A Customized Solution for YOU<\/strong><br>Managed service providers (MSPs) specialize in network security and have years of experience working with various businesses. They can afford to retain the very best talent in each area as they have the scale to keep those resources busy. They understand the intricacies of implementing SASE, and they know the strengths of each vendor. A managed service provider will curate a solution customized to your business.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost Savings<\/strong><br>Implementing SASE can require significant investment in hardware, software, and personnel training. By outsourcing to an MSP, you can save on these costs. MSPs already have the necessary infrastructure, expertise, and experience in place. No need to hire a full-time IT security team to manage your SASE solution. Plus, with an MSP, you only pay for the services you need, making it a more affordable option for small and medium-sized businesses.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proactive Monitoring and Maintenance<\/strong><br>MSPs provide 24\/7 monitoring of your network to identify any potential issues before they become major problems. At Zayo, we use AIOps to proactively identify and address network and security issues before our customers even know they exist. The infrastructure, customer portal, the operations centers, and all the support personnel are already on staff.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scale<\/strong><br>As your business grows, so does your network and data traffic. Even if your business <em>isn\u2019t <\/em>growing, your network and data traffic are. MSPs can scale up or down their services according to your organization&#8217;s needs, ensuring that you always have the right level of connectivity and protection. You\u2019ll never be underresourced again.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Technology<\/strong><br>MSPs constantly invest in the latest security technologies and tools, providing your organization with access to advanced features and capabilities that may not be feasible for you to implement on your own. The many partnerships forged among network and SSE providers ensure that you\u2019re investing only in the security elements your business needs.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recovery and Continuity<\/strong><br>In addition to protecting against cyber threats, MSPs also offer disaster recovery and business continuity services. This means that in the event of a natural disaster or system failure, your network will be accessible so that your business can continue to operate.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vendor Support<\/strong><br>An MSP will spot an outage or degraded service before you do, and will proactively contact your vendors to begin troubleshooting, around the clock. Your IT team can continue working on the projects that advance the business because your MSP is handling the operation of your SASE solution.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong><br>With Zayo, we can manage as much or as little as you need us to. Want to retain control over your fiber infrastructure, but need a new ZTNA solution and a managed WAN? We can do that. You decide what to hand over and what to keep. And this can change over time \u2013 no boxing you into a corner through the length of your contract.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peace of Mind<br><\/strong>Knowing that your organization&#8217;s data and systems are in the hands of experts can bring peace of mind. MSPs have extensive knowledge and experience in cybersecurity, allowing you to focus on running your business without worrying about potential cyber threats or network issues that are hard to diagnose. (That <a href=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/zinsights-demo\/\">AIOps<\/a> monitoring we discussed in #3 above? It can tell where outages come from, which need attention immediately, and then your MSP will address them.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Face your new working realities head-on by taking steps to secure your data when your devices and people (and data!) are everywhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a Managed Service Provider (MSP) behind you, you can begin to integrate the benefits of a SASE solution, including SD-WAN and more, with your existing <a href=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/resources\/network-infrastructure-understanding-the-basics\/\">network infrastructure<\/a>.
