“Capable MSPs enable companies to take their cloud computing to the next level, streamline spending, effectively allocate limited resources and navigate the vast field of available technologies,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “The companies on CRN’s 2019 MSP 500 list stand out for their innovative services, excellence in adapting to customers’ changing needs and demonstrated ability to help businesses get the most out of their IT investments.”

Why Do You Need An Award-Winning IT Security Company?

Cyber threats are evolving and are more sophisticated than they were in the past. And they aren't going away any time soon.

Even large enterprises continue to be attacked even though they spend millions to protect their businesses from cyber attacks. They stay in business when they're attacked. But not small and mid-sized businesses.
Research conducted by the National Cyber Security Alliance found that:

Almost 50 percent of small businesses have experienced a cyber attack.
More than 70 percent of attacks target small businesses.
As much as 60 percent of hacked small and medium-sized businesses go out of business after six months.

And according to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, a great deal of software is designed and written in a way that leads to total compromise when a firewall is breached. This is not good enough today.

People build software, people are flawed, and therefore, software is flawed. You must assume that errors will occur that will lead to security vulnerabilities.

This means the single layer of defense in front of you will probably be compromised, so what are your plans if it is defeated? A comprehensive, layered IT security infrastructure will reduce the likelihood of a single point of failure in the system.

For this you need the 24/7 protection that an award-winning IT security company in South Florida can provide. And, according to CRN, that expert this year is LAN Infotech.
