Phishing attacks are rife across the globe, and at any one time, 75% of organizations are fighting against their interference in their operations. Traditional solutions like Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) are proving to be a dated means of counterattack. Instead, organizations are having to switch to alternate measures like Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) systems that offer real-time protection, leveraging AI and ML (Machine Learning) to detect threats, block unauthorized access, and respond to breaches across both controlled and personal devices, which soon MSSPs will need to be offering to their clients if they do not already. As employees increasingly use personal devices for work, organizations must adopt comprehensive mobile threat defense strategies to ensure robust protection and minimize risk.

62% of both MSPs & MSSPs report that customer needs have driven their revenue increases since 2024, which has led to 41% expanding their services to account for evolving threats and inadequate security protections. However, challenges remain—only 54% of customers trust their current security solutions, and cost concerns persist for over half of them. Innovation requires finance, and MSPs have been approaching GreatAmerica’s new M&A service, which offers this growth opportunity, enabling them to acquire peers and expand their footprint. This aligns perfectly with the increasing demand for tailored cybersecurity solutions in an evolving landscape. Read more: https://heyor.ca/dTfQzu #MSP #MSSP #Cybersecurity #ManagedServices

CISOs (Chief Security Officers) exist as the conduit between tech teams, exec leaders and respective external security professionals to ensure businesses are prepared and informed of cyber threats. They must exhibit regular engagement and awareness through conversation with stakeholders and reinforcing a culture of cybersecurity throughout the organization. Where organizations are lacking a CISO and certain IT resources, MSPs and MSSPs should be outsourced, possibly as virtual CISOs (vCISOs), offering guidance, training, and risk management solutions. By incorporating engaging activities like phishing simulations, AI threat awareness, and year-round training, vCISOs can help businesses stay vigilant and proactive against cyber threats.

It’s critical for businesses to have data governance before making their decisions, which they expect their MSSPs to ensure, especially during the rise of AI, which may well be allowing businesses to keep up in modern times but increase cyber threats in direct parallel by no less than 10%, meaning an approximate, average cost of $4.88 million globally. MSPs should embrace this as an opportunity, though - to offer tailored data governance services, improving security, regulatory compliance, and automation—creating new revenue streams while protecting client data. Expanding into this space allows MSPs to not only meet business needs but also drive long-term growth through recurring service models.

We hope you enjoyed your Christmas! So... 2024 twilight is upon us, revealing an average of $4.88 billion in data breach costs globally. Studying the causes of these attacks has illustrated the source stemming from, particularly with ‘Zero-Day’ exploits and ransomware, with costly ransom demands and recovery times. The rise in AI-driven cybercrime and the growing threat of DDoS-as-a-Service are also major concerns. With security staffing shortages exacerbating the issue, MSSPs and MSPs must prioritize proactive defense and AI-powered solutions to mitigate breach costs and improve recovery.

How was your Christmas? Did you stick to “the list” you consulted on? Some people can be challenging to buy for, but perhaps they just do not understand what is acceptable to ask for, and so goes what a client can expect/ask from their MSSP. Thus, why are MSSPs shifting from traditional sales-driven Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to a more consultative, value-driven approach? An expert lives and breathes their field, such as what our social media reflects, so respectively - clients expect their providers to be trusted advisors, offering strategic insights and guidance on cybersecurity threats and best practices. This shift helps build stronger relationships and fosters long-term partnerships that go beyond sales.

Almost Christmas. Excited to be opening the gifts under the tree tomorrow? And are the cyber criminals ready to take advantage when you leave the desk? As the holidays begin, MSPs and MSSPs must continue to uphold their client obligations to protect them from the vulnerability of their ‘Network Edge’ (smartphones, IoT devices, routers, switches, etc). Recent data reveals attacks on targeting edge devices make up 36% of all cyberattacks, with many of these devices lacking proper security controls. Peace of mind for both parties can be as simple as the MSP running assessments using handheld vulnerability scanners. These tools help identify rogue devices, validate network segmentation, and map wireless network weaknesses, offering essential visibility into the last 100 meters of the network.

** MERRY CHRISTMAS ** Whilst servicing their clients, one means of retention for MSPs and MSSPs lies in educating their clients on strong cyber hygiene, limiting attack surfaces, and removing insecure devices. Additionally, leveraging external scanning data to identify and eliminate the top 20% of risks while reducing the number of IP addresses can significantly reduce exposure to cyber threats. Looking out for their clients’ welfare as cyber risks continue to evolve is what humanizes MSPs and MSSPs from developing a dispassionate reputation whilst strengthening security and reducing liability. A new Gallagher Re study confirms that organizations with robust security protections see fewer breaches, while weak defenses lead to higher insurance claims and more significant issues.
