Delivering a complete enterprise-grade security suite for their SMB customers and a user-friendly multi-tenant MSP dashboard with flexible, easy-to-understand pricing models

A report published by Devolutions in October 2022 found that 46% of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) plan on increasing their IT security spending in the next 12 months. While it is encouraging to see this willingness to invest in cybersecurity, there is a growing shortage of skilled cyber professionals available to service the SMB market. This means these organizations are struggling to properly secure their critical assets, making them a growing target for cybercriminals. In fact, the same report found that 60% of SMBs experienced at least one cyberattack over the previous year, with 18% experiencing six or more.

To address the growing security concerns and offset the cyber skills gap, many SMBs are turning to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to defend them against cyberattacks, with some paying a 34% premium for their cybersecurity services. This reliance on MSPs shows no signs of diminishing, with IT spending through MSPs expected to grow by 11% year-on-year from $279 billion in 2022 to $311 billion in 2023, according to Analysys Mason. This has been driven by the need for end-to-end support in managing increasingly complex software stacks and pushing forward new digital initiatives.

In light of the increasing risk of cyberattacks and the ongoing reliance on managed services, we have launched Infinity Spark, a threat prevention solution that delivers industry leading AI security and integrated connectivity to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
