CMTG has underscored the growing significance of AI-based cybersecurity in the advancement of managed services as artificial intelligence gains prominence.
Carl Filpo, the Managing Director of CMTG, emphasized that numerous managed service providers (MSPs) are transitioning towards the implementation of intelligent security platforms. These platforms utilize AI technology to proactively detect and counteract digital threats in real-time, representing a move away from conventional, reactive IT support.
“AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity by facilitating quicker and more efficient threat responses, ultimately allowing us to prevent attacks before they affect the business,” remarked Filpo.
He noted, “Reactive measures are no longer sufficient; we need to forecast threats and act promptly, which is where AI-driven platforms offer a significant edge.”
The rise in AI usage aligns with an increase in the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, putting pressure on organizations in fields like engineering, finance, and insurance to protect sensitive data, adhere to regulatory standards, and ensure business continuity.
Filpo stated that the future for managed service providers hinges on creating cohesive, security-centric IT strategies that can adapt to the ever-evolving risk and compliance landscapes.
“Basic IT support or standard solutions won’t suffice anymore,” Filpo said. “Our clients operate in critical environments where a single data breach or system failure could lead to serious legal, financial, or reputational damage. We’ve specialized our managed services to predict threats ahead of time, ensuring compliance at every business level and instilling confidence for growth.”
CMTG incorporates proactive cybersecurity measures like real-time threat monitoring and secure cloud infrastructure into its managed service offerings, which have enhanced clients’ compliance and security practices, enabling efficient operations and maintained responsibilities to their clientele.
Filpo highlighted the trend of larger organizations imposing security requirements on smaller partners to reduce broader cybersecurity risks, a movement that is increasing the demand for CMTG’s services. Recent collaborations include assisting a client in achieving ISO 27001 certification and bolstering compliance for banking and real estate clients.
“What differentiates us from competitors is our comprehensive understanding of industry-specific risks and compliance frameworks. We avoid one-size-fits-all solutions and instead develop tailored security strategies that address the unique challenges our clients encounter,” Filpo added. He anticipates that businesses will increasingly seek intelligent threat-response tools and integrated compliance solutions to simplify security management.
Filpo concluded, “Security must be ingrained in a company’s foundation, not an afterthought. Our mission is to establish scalable, secure environments that allow clients to operate effectively and innovate securely—whether they’re expanding, adopting AI, or managing hybrid workplaces.”
