Are you overpaying for IT services, or worse—leaving your business dangerously exposed by cutting corners? In this episode of Tech Made Human, IT expert Dave Clark breaks down the true cost of Managed IT versus Co-Managed IT services for SMBs.

A single cyber breach can cost your business hundreds of thousands of dollars. Strategic IT decisions should never be based on finding the cheapest price tag, but rather on the true value and risk mitigation they provide your organization.

In this video, we cover:

• The Baseline Necessities: Why every business requires firewalls, secure access points, and critical backups just to establish a minimum standard of operation.
  
  
• The Co-Managed IT Blueprint: How partnering with an MSP can augment your internal team. Expect Co-Managed systems administration to run between $40 and $90 per user.
  
  
• The Fully Managed IT Breakdown: What it costs to secure comprehensive, 24/7 support. Full management typically lands between $160 and $210 per user, reaching up to $300 for all-inclusive hardware and software setups.
  
  
• The Ultimate Dealbreaker: Why you can absolutely never afford to trim your cybersecurity budget, especially as AI supercharges the capabilities of modern hackers.
