MSP Today Q&A with High Wire Networks’ CEO Mark Porter
Security is a business problem, not a technology problem, said High Wire Networks’ CEO Mark Porter in an interview with Erik Linasek, Editor of MSP Today. He adds, that this is true both for MSPs and their clients.
Security is no longer optional, said Porter, it’s a business necessity, but it’s also an overwhelming undertaking. “There are too many point solutions with very narrow functionality, not enough people to manage them, and too much information coming out of them,” he said.
It’s a no-brainer for businesses to partner with experts to manage their security, but it’s also an attractive strategy for IT-savvy MSPs. “It’s an incredibly complex and expensive proposition to build a 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC), invest in the tooling, recruit and hire the best people, build out data centers, and most importantly, invest in really well-heeled security experts to lead it all,” Porter said.
“We believe that every MSP needs to first have an outside partner to secure their own businesses, then have the [security] discussion with every customer and … prospective new clients. Customers who are concerned about security are willing to pay for it.”
