Effective from October 17, 2024, NIS 2 broadens its scope to include more sectors and SMEs, and DORA follows on January 13, 2025.   MSSPs are you looking to scale your client coverage and help them meet compliance requirements through continuous monitoring of entities and third parties? FortifyData is helping other MSSPs do this.   • Help SMEs Mature Compliance: Many European SMEs lack resources for NIS 2 compliance and are turning to MSSPs for help. FortifyData’s growing network of MSSPs uses our tech to automate and scale processes.   • Ensure Continuous Vendor Visibility: Enterprises face challenges with numerous third parties to monitor the risks they pose and how do you manage the threat intelligence on those third parties? FortifyData allows MSSPs to continuously monitor and technically validate the data provided on third-party controls and enriches findings with cyber threat intelligence.   • Capitalize on MSSP Growth: "The urgent need for cybersecurity services will drive double-digit growth in Europe over the next five years," says Richard Thurston of IDC.
