EditorialA `Security-First' IT InfrastructureInstead of relying solely on internal IT teams, modern organisations are turning to managed service providers (MSPs) to ensure round the clock functionality of their IT infrastructure and services. With profound skills, knowledge, and expertise, MSPs can support their clients in building highly optimised and reliable IT infrastructure that can meet the business requirements of today and tomorrow. Currently, MSPs are leveraging emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, and blockchain to stay relevant and deliver intelligent, automation-based services to their clients. They bring `security-first' thinking with blockchain, AI, and machine learning. While blockchain allows MSPs to store clients' crucial business data on a distributed ledger for maximum security, the machine learning-powered firewalls and web-filters can actively learn from the available data and predict any threat that is lurking in the client's IT infrastructure. AI not only takes necessary steps in a controlled manner to intelligently resolve any issue without human involvement but also eliminates the repetitive tasks, saving both time and cost for the organisations.As more businesses aim for flexible, scalable, efficient and cost-effective IT infrastructure by adopting multi-cloud technologies, MSPs bring the right tools and skills to help clients improve their business performance while maintaining visibility and control over their assets in the cloud environment. To assist modern organisations in taking advantage of managed IT services, this edition of CIO Applications Europe features a list of leading service providers along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the managed IT services arena.
