Frequently Asked Questions About
Managed IT Services (MSSP)

Introduction

Considering a partnership with a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) or looking to enhance your IT management? Many businesses have questions before taking the next step. We’ve compiled the top 10 frequently asked questions about managed IT services, cybersecurity, and IT support. You have questions, and we have the answers to help you make the best decision for your business.

If your team spends more time managing IT problems than growing your business, struggles to stay ahead of cybersecurity threats, or isn’t maximizing technology investments, a Managed Security Services Provider can help. We deliver the expertise, tools, and ongoing IT strategy that most in-house teams cannot cost-effectively maintain.

Internal IT staff are valuable, but they may lack the bandwidth, 24/7 monitoring capabilities, and specialized cybersecurity skills an MSSP provides. Fusion Computing can act as your whole IT department or as an extension of your team. We fill the gaps, enhancing your cybersecurity and improving efficiency.

Hiring a mid-level IT professional (salary, benefits, training, tools) is often 2–3× more expensive than a managed MSSP plan. With Fusion Computing, you get a full team of experts, enterprise-grade tools, and a proactive IT strategy at a predictable monthly cost. No unexpected costs, no surprises

We cover the full IT lifecycle, including:

  • Cybersecurity: Threat detection, prevention, compliance, and incident response
  • Infrastructure: Networks, servers, cloud, and on-prem systems
  • User Support: 24/7 helpdesk and incident resolution
  • Asset Management: Tracking, lifecycle planning, patching, and licensing
  • IT Strategy: Quarterly reviews, roadmap planning, and budgeting

Fusion Computing uses layered security, including real-time monitoring, advanced threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance alignment. If an incident occurs, our proven response processes contain threats and minimize downtime.
