\"AIn a 2018 speech<\/a> on digital transformation and cybersecurity, FBI Director Christopher Wray said, \u201cAs cyber threats evolve, we need to evolve as well.\u201d His words remain true today in a world where hackers and malware have only become more sophisticated and troublesome. So far in 2021, for instance, ransomware<\/a> has disrupted the distribution of jet fuel and gasoline in the U.S. in addition to interfering with production for the largest meat supplier in the world, according to The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cybercriminals change their tactics and develop new types of malware constantly \u2013 and, as Wray stated, IT security professionals must evolve as well or risk falling far behind and failing to protect their organizations from new threats. That\u2019s easier said than done, however. Given the breakneck pace at which the threat landscape changes, security teams have their plates more than full as they attempt to keep up while also handling daily tasks and staying up-to-speed on new cybersecurity solutions.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, internal IT security teams don\u2019t necessarily have to tackle everything on their own. That\u2019s where comanaged IT security services<\/a> come in.<\/p>\n

At Stratosphere Networks, our security team can handle any mix of these elements as part of our comanaged offering:<\/p>\n
