Cybersecurity has become a necessary priority for organisations of all sizes to build trust with customers, stay competitive and avoid costly breaches. Australia’s small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are no exception, but most lack in-house cybersecurity specialists. That’s where managed security service providers (MSSPs) like Corp IT step in.
While Corp IT has previously been successful, it found adjusting to cloud-based cybersecurity challenging. Co-Owner and Solutions Architect, Jai Dametto, recognised the MSSP needed to acquire new skills and best practices while improving their manual reconciliation and licence management.
How Pax8 Helped
Dametto knew driving change and enhancing security was a demanding task that would require a partner who was up to the challenge. He discovered the Pax8 Marketplace, a U.S.-based cloud marketplace that could help Corp IT achieve their goal of streamlining operations and modernising their cybersecurity practice.
He liked that the Marketplace introduced cloud-based automation and integrated with Corp IT’s existing professional services platform. This helped the MSSP turn a licencing process that used to take three staff members several days every month into a three-hour task.
The support extended beyond just automation. Pax8 Academy played a vital role in Corp IT’s cybersecurity practice transformation. The education and enablement helped them align their cybersecurity practice with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls framework, which is also built directly into the Marketplace experience. Additionally, Pax8 Academy provided valuable training and peer support, fostering continuous learning and development in an evolving threat landscape.
