Let’s face it, keeping up with cybersecurity is a full‑time job. And if your internal IT team is already juggling user support, system upgrades, and network maintenance, adding security into the mix can create gaps (and yes, sleepless nights). That’s why many businesses are turning to Managed Security Services to take on the load.

According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, the average cost of a breach globally has climbed to $4.45 million, and companies that use security automation shorten breach detection and containment lifecycles by over 100 days (about 3 and a half months), saving nearly $2 million on average.

At BTI, we go further: integrating cybersecurity, physical access control, and IT infrastructure to deliver gap-free protection with full visibility, real-time response and support from real engineers who understand your environment and proven operational impact.

How a Good MSSP Makes Your Life (and Security) Easier

A true Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) isn’t just monitoring alerts, they’re your partner in building a resilient, secure, and efficient IT environment. Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise.

At BTI, we go beyond the basics. Our Managed Security Services are built for long-term performance, operational clarity, and measurable outcomes.

Here’s what a results-driven MSSP like BTI brings to the table:

24/7 Threat Monitoring & Response – Our NOC and SOC teams always provide monitoring, real-time response, and engineer-led action; not just alerts.

Proactive Risk & Vulnerability Management – From scanning and patching to custom remediation plans, we reduce your exposure before it becomes a problem.

Human-Centric Risk Reduction – BTI delivers training and phishing simulations tailored to your environment, so users are your first line of defense; not your weakest.

Compliance Support – Whether you’re in healthcare, logistics, or manufacturing, we help you meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and other requirements without any guesswork.

Integrated Cyber + Physical Security – We unify IT, cloud, and access control systems into one coordinated security framework.

Unified Security Intelligence – Gain visibility across performance, compliance, and threats in a single dashboard without any silos or blind spots.

Customized Protection – No cookie-cutter packages. Security plans should adapt to your infrastructure, users, and industry risks.

BTI’s managed security services are built around real outcomes: better visibility, better response times, and less stress on your internal team.
