In today’s fast-paced business environments, MSPs play an important role in helping companies leverage new technologies without straining their budgets or losing focus on their core business. CRN’s MSP 500 list shines a light on the most forward-thinking and innovative of these key organizations.

The list is divided into three categories: the MSP Pioneer 250, recognizing companies with business models weighted toward managed services and largely focused on the SMB market; the MSP Elite 150, recognizing large, data center-focused MSPs with a strong mix of on-premises and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premise, cloud-based security services.

CIPHER’s managed security services cover a broad array of monitoring, defense, and management capabilities. With 24x7x365 Security Operations Centers and technology-driven R&D laboratories, the global team of more than 150 security experts ensures best-in-class detection, investigation, and response to today’s most advanced threats.

“Managed service providers have become integral to the success of businesses everywhere, both large and small,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “

Capable MSPs enable companies to take their cloud computing to the next level, streamline spending, effectively allocate limited resources and navigate the vast field of available technologies. The companies on CRN’s 2018 MSP 500 list stand out for their innovative services, excellence in adapting to customers’ changing needs and demonstrated ability to help businesses get the most out of their IT investments.”

“CIPHER is committed to delivering the best cybersecurity platform and services” said Ed Boucas, Chief Executive Officer of CIPHER. “Our Managed Security Services practice is focused on becoming an extension to our clients with the greatest attention toward excellence.”
