It is another workday, and one of your client’s users is perusing through their inbox and sees an email from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Continuous data protection: What you need to know
Today’s business users are more reliant on data than ever before, so any downtime or data loss can devastate an organization. Since data loss can happen at any moment, as a service provider you need to restore your clients’ business-critical data as quickly as possible.  How quickly they get back to normal depends on when you last backed up their data. Poor data protection can set them back hours, days, or perhaps weeks – severely impact their employees’ productivity and the organization’s long-term viability.

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.
