Earlier this month, international consulting firm Accenture became the latest target in a string of high-profile ransomware attacks when the LockBit group claimed to have breached the company’s servers and threatened to release its data.

The rapid pace of technological innovation, focus on digital transformation across industries, shift to cloud computing, and a shortage of qualified IT professionals have led to an increased demand for third-party technical support across several sectors. Organizations need their IT infrastructure and networks to run reliably and securely so they can focus on their core business. But having full-time staff to handle those responsibilities is beyond the budget and means of many companies. For some, there simply aren’t enough skilled staff available to do it, even if they have the budget.

Ask yourself this question: Who's responsible for your customer’s cybersecurity? You or the customer? Does your customer expect that since they have you as their MSP, they won't have a security incident? If so, you may have set very unrealistic expectations.

MSP cybersecurity and the process of securing your own organization is the latest topic to pick up steam. Though, it seems many MSPs are falling short on their own security posture. The issue is a lack of time, money, or resources, and unfortunately, negligence. Starting a cybersecurity program is no easy task, so let us look at some common questions we hear on where to start.

Along with The Cyber Call, a weekly 30-minute collaborative production, we’re hosting a two-day virtual event for MSPs looking to move their cybersecurity postures forward in a world with an ever-evolving threat landscape.

Experts from around the industry will come together on February 23rd and 24th to combine their security knowledge to give you an event you can’t afford to miss.

By now, you’ve read all about Russia's hack on the U.S. It's a huge deal for a variety of reasons, many of which are technical in nature, but while the technical details of Russia’s latest cyberattack are important, the hack itself should be a reminder to MSPs everywhere: assume breach.

TruMethods Standards and Alignment Manager, Brian Dappolone, gives his take on the security landscape of the industry and how businesses can better prepare for 2021.

If cybersecurity isn’t a big part of your managed services offering in 2021, you may need to reevaluate what’s important to your clients.
