In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, data has become the lifeblood of businesses. The exponential growth of data has spurred the development of intricate data storage systems to accommodate these volumes efficiently. One such vital player in the realm of data storage is the Storage Area Network (SAN). SANs are paramount in managing and processing large data volumes, ensuring seamless accessibility, scalability, and high availability.

As cyber threats get more sophisticated, cybersecurity becomes a top concern for organizations. In this context, MSPs face an unenviable task: they manage the IT infrastructure and services of multiple customers—often small and medium businesses, which tend to be cybercriminals’ preferred targets. This job is being made even more challenging due to the increased use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies in modern workplaces.

While cyber threats are certainly continuously evolving, the fact is most intrusions still rely on basic, tried-and-true techniques. Who needs to burn a zero-day if guessing commonly used passwords or exploiting passwords used across multiple accounts can give you easy access? Brute force attacks continue to be an incredibly common threat that organizations face.

If your IT team is struggling to accomplish its lengthy to-do list, implementing detection and response solutions may be one step you can take to improve efficiency and reduce workload. Endpoint security solutions like Managed Detection Response (MDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) can help you maintain and monitor your endpoints and other parts of your infrastructure, a very necessary capability in modern cybersecurity.
