All-In-One Solution for Security- and Compliance-Conscious Firms Enables Managed Services Providers to Grow their Businesses

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IT security spending is expected to soar to $170 billion by 2020[i], and with good reason. According to industry data, 50 percent of businesses with 250 or fewer employees have been attacked by cyber-criminals[ii], and 55 percent of small businesses cease operations within six months after suffering a security breach[iii]. Given this new reality, OS33 has introduced the workplace_ Provider Program to give managed services providers the opportunity to sell and deliver its comprehensive workplace_ solution to firms in highly regulated industries such as financial services, legal, accounting, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and energy.

The workplace_ solution has been bundled to include security and compliance features required in this market including multi-factor authentication, hot/hot disaster recovery, seven-year file retention, secure web browsing with web filtering, endpoint device validation, and audit tracking.

"In a business world increasingly concerned about cyber threats and regulations, generic IT managed services are no longer enough to meet the needs of many regulated companies," said Sam Attias, Managing Director at OS33. "By partnering with us, managed services providers can utilize our complete workplace_ offering to help their customers make sure their client data and technology infrastructure remain secure as well as compliant."

The workplace_ solution:

• Aggregates a company's entire IT infrastructure, including all apps, data, and documents, in one secure digital hub which can be fully controlled and safely accessed from any firm-approved mobile device.
• Is a complete offering; managed services providers don't have to piece together a solution for regulated firms from multiple vendors?an option which is often costly and difficult to scale.

"With cyber-attacks becoming more frequent and complex, concerns about the protection of sensitive data, regulatory compliance, and disaster recovery are driving a massive rise in IT security spending," said Brett Jaffe, Vice President of Channel Development at OS33. "Our program gives managed services providers an opportunity to earn rich margins and generate long-term recurring revenue streams by delivering a comprehensive, all-in-one security and compliance solution to customers."
