- Help desk support: Provides assistance to users who are experiencing technical issues or have questions about how to use certain systems or software.
- Network and infrastructure support: Manages and maintains an organization’s computer networks and related infrastructure, such as servers and data centers.
- Cybersecurity: Protects an organization’s systems and data from cyber threats such as hacking and malware.
- Cloud services: Provides access to data storage and computing resources through the internet, rather than via on-premises hardware.
