WHY CHIPS

## Built on Real MSP Experience

CHIPS helps MSPs and business leaders reduce cyber risk by adding prevention-first controls that stop attacks before compromise begins.

CHIPS Cyber Defense Solutions was built from practical experience helping businesses navigate real-world technology and cybersecurity challenges. As attacks became faster, more automated, and harder to detect in time, we recognized the need for a different approach: prevention-first security that complements the tools MSPs already use.

As the AppGuard Commercial Distributor for the Americas, CHIPS helps partners evaluate, deploy, and operationalize AppGuard through education, deployment guidance, and ongoing prevention-first strategy.

## The MSP 3.0 Evolution: A New Security Model for MSPs.

The "Right of Boom" era is dead. Traditional EDR and MDR create endless alerts. Your engineers burn out playing whack-a-mole with threats that have already breached the perimeter.

CHIPS Cyber Defense Solutions offers a [different path](https://prevent-ransomware.com/MSP3?hsLang=en). By deploying **AppGuard**, **Zimperium**, and **CyberCloak**, you move your customers' infrastructure "Left of Boom". We block malicious actions before they execute, eliminating the alert queues that force you to hire expensive Level 3 analysts.

See how leading MSPs are moving Left of Boom to reduce tickets, increase margins, and scale without hiring.

1

#### Quiet Endpoints

Zero false positives. A massive reduction in helpdesk tickets and forensic cleanup costs.

2

#### Scale Without Hiring

Scale your MSP MRR without increasing technician headcount at the same rate.

### The CHIPS Advantage vs. Legacy EDR

Legacy Stack (EDR/MDR) Right of Boom

Detects after malware executes. High alert volume.

CHIPS Pre-Detonation Left of Boom

Blocks before execution. Zero false positives.
