What are managed IT services?

Managed IT services outsource IT support responsibilities to a third-party managed service provider (MSP). Instead of handling IT needs in-house, businesses partner with an MSP to manage their IT infrastructure and systems for a recurring fee.

The MSP can provide a variety of services, such as:

  • Cybersecurity solutions: Includes implementation and management of security measures like firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems and security awareness training to protect against cyber threats.
  • Network monitoring and management: Offers proactive monitoring of network infrastructure to identify and resolve potential problems before they impact users.
  • Data backup and disaster recovery: Planned backups of data and comprehensive disaster recovery plans are critical for minimizing downtime and data loss in case of emergencies and are typically included in a service package.
  • Support: Provides users with timely and expert assistance in addressing technical issues.
  • Cloud computing services: Includes cloud migration, management of cloud infrastructure and optimization of cloud resources.
