Which organisations need managed cybersecurity services from a provider like FirstNet?

Security · Answered by FirstNet Technology Services

Short answer

Any small, medium or large business that relies on cloud apps, the internet and digital communication needs consistent security controls. Managed cybersecurity from FirstNet is the practical way to apply them across all users and sites, without a large in-house security team.

In detail

The need is strongest when one or more of these apply:

  • Security skills are scarce, costly or hard to keep as threats and technology change.
  • Threats need round-the-clock monitoring and response that a small team cannot staff.
  • The business wants a predictable running cost, not capital spend on separate tools.
  • POPIA and other governance duties call for controls that are visible, auditable and applied the same way each time.
  • Staff work across head office, branches and home, beyond the traditional network perimeter.

FirstNet supports clients in financial services, healthcare, legal and professional services, manufacturing, and retail and logistics.

South African businesses also face local factors. These include POPIA and data sovereignty rules, and ransomware and fraud aimed at local firms. They also include regional branch connectivity, and reliance on dependable network and cloud uptime.

A discovery session with FirstNet shows which risks matter most for you and where to start.
