Building MSP cybersecurity services isn’t hard with the right advice
Small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) struggled through a fretful year of sudden pandemic-driven changes: employees forced to work from home, sensitive data abruptly moved to cloud-based SaaS applications, and a baffling array of new cyberthreats – including 350,000 new malware threats being identified every day and a 400% increase in cybercrime last year being reported by the FBI. For 2021, that last challenge is particularly daunting: few SMBs are capable of keeping pace with a daily barrage of ransomware attacks, tech supply-chain incursions like the SolarWinds breach, and severe vulnerabilities like Microsoft’s recent Exchange Server fiasco – especially in light of their paltry tech budgets and headcount. SMBs are desperate to outsource these problems, and that presents a huge opportunity for MSPs willing to step up and help.

Why every MSP should invest in a disaster recovery solution?
As a managed service provider (MSP), you offer your clients a variety of IT resources to remotely manage part or all of their IT infrastructures, which can include managing their operating systems, applications, databases, networks, endpoints, as well as ensuring security, compliance, and backup. Many organizations will buy your services because it is a less expensive option or, more importantly, because you bring the right tools, expertise, and best practices to support more complex, mission-critical IT functions.
