How RMM May Be the Missing Link in Your Comprehensive Security

The IT services market is booming! According to a recent report by Gartner, global IT spending is expected to reach USD $5 trillion in 2024, a 6.8% increase from 2023. This surge in spending reflects a growing reliance on technology across all industries. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are at the forefront of this growth, helping businesses leverage technology effectively.

RMM: The Workhorse Behind Growth
Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) has been instrumental in the success of many MSPs. These tools streamline IT operations, allowing MSPs to efficiently manage and maintain client infrastructure. Imagine the constant scramble of managing dozens, or even hundreds, of client environments without the ability to remotely monitor and maintain critical systems. That’s what MSPs would be forced to do without the proactive nature of RMM solutions.

Modern RMM platforms automate routine tasks like patch management, system updates, and device monitoring, freeing up valuable MSP resources to focus on higher-level strategic initiatives for their clients. However, the full potential of RMM is often under-recognised. While its operational benefits are well-established, the significant security advantages it offers can sometimes go unnoticed.

N-able N-sight: Security Built In, Not Bolted On
N-able N-sight is an excellent example of a platform that goes beyond basic RMM functionality, offering a comprehensive solution that empowers MSPs to significantly enhance their clients’ security posture. N-sight integrates robust security features directly within the platform, eliminating the need for disjointed solutions and ensuring seamless protection.

Here’s how N-sight prioritises security for MSPs and their clients:

  • Fort Knox Access: Secure remote access is paramount. N-sight utilises sophisticated encryption and multi-factor authentication, guaranteeing secure and trusted access from any device at any time.

  • Layered Security Defence: N-sight integrates industry-leading Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) technology from SentinelOne. This layered approach safeguards client systems, data, devices, and networks from evolving threats.

  • Network Vigilance: N-sight constantly monitors network traffic, identifying anomalies and taking corrective measures in real-time. This proactive approach prevents security breaches before they can occur.

  • Cloud-First Backups: N-sight prioritises data security by storing backups in the cloud by default. This “air gap” approach protects critical data from ransomware attacks that target local storage.

Scaling Security to New Heights
Of course, robust security goes beyond the fundamentals. For MSPs seeking to elevate their offerings, N-sight provides a comprehensive security toolkit. This includes features like advanced antivirus and web security, proactive risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities, granular User Access Control to safeguard sensitive data, and Mobile Device Management (MDM) for a secure mobile workforce.

This comprehensive approach empowers MSPs to deliver exceptional value. They can exceed client expectations with a level of security that surpasses basic offerings. This translates to increased client retention, upselling opportunities for advanced services, and, ultimately, higher revenue streams.  Furthermore, N-sight’s integration with next-generation security features prepares MSPs for the ever-evolving threat landscape, ensuring they’re well-equipped to navigate the future with confidence.

The N-sight Advantage: Security and Simplicity
In a nutshell, N-sight streamlines IT management while prioritising robust security. This seamless integration empowers organisations to focus on their core business functions with complete confidence in their security posture.  Positioned as an RMM built for the future, its advanced security capabilities could serve as the vital component missing from your comprehensive security strategy.
