Managed Cloud Services is the same concept as Managed IT Services, but for cloud based teams, managing cloud security.
Learn more in our free IT Guide: What is Managed Services.
Managed Cloud Services is the same concept as Managed IT Services, but is designed to meet changing workplace needs where there is no physical server present and/or the team works remotely.
Managed Cloud Services allow you to outsource your cloud setup, security and account management to qualified cloud consultants and support technicians.
Cloud networks and cloud accounts are attacked just as often as on premise networks.
Cloud management services include initial implementation of cloud security and best practices, followed by continuous monitoring and support to reduce the risks associated with:
- Phishing and account hacking attacks
- Financial fraud via account hacking
- Accidental + intentional data leaks
- Download of sensitive company files to personal devices with weak or no security
- Lost & stolen devices with access to company data
- Hostile employees with access to company data
- Insecure personal devices bringing malware and threats in to company accounts
Microsoft Secure Score is a part of Microsoft's Threat and Vulnerability Management, and is a tool you can use to help you assess, score and improve your Office 365 and overall cloud security.
The Secure Tool will provide a number, a summary of where you do well with your cloud security, and explanations of security controls you can implement to potentially improve your score. You then decide which controls to implement.
You can hire an IT consultant for Microsoft Secure Score help, or take on the work yourself. An IT consultant can help you better understand the nuances, and weigh the pros and cons of each control available in the Secure Score tool.

Azure Active Directory is a best in class tool for managing cloud security by authenticating users and accounts which are authorized to access company data.
It is the cloud based version of Windows Active Directory.
In a traditional office, a business might have a local network with a server where files and data are stored, and Windows Active Directory running to control which employees could access certain files or permissions on the network and server. A firewall would also be setup to help protect the server from internet traffic, malware and cyber threats.
Many modern businesses today run exclusively in the cloud. If you do not have an office, server or local area network where you can run Windows Active Directory, then Azure Active Directory in the cloud is your tool of choice.
It is used for authentication, and is paired with other cloud based threat detection and content filtering tools to keep your accounts and data safe.
Every device that interacts with your organization's data must be secured and managed by your organization.
You can do that with Identity Access Management (IAM) tools (which authenticate users and accounts) and Computer and Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools (which authenticate devices) and instantly approve or deny access to your company data.
These concepts interplay to create just some of the layers of your overall cyber security framework.
Whether you have a server or not, if your team uses email on any device today, you need IAM and MDM in place.
We take care of all these tools and systems for you. Call us today to learn more about getting your IT security and management systems in place.
