A Checklist for Implementing Cyber Protection for MSPs

When it comes to cybercrime, today’s small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are an easy target. Budgets and staffing are limited, and finding the right skilled people is difficult. Many opt to rely on a managed service provider (MSP) to administer their IT needs and keep their workloads and systems secure. However, since the cyberthreat landscape is always evolving, many MSPs also struggle to stay ahead of new threats. In fact, cybercriminals have successfully attacked the platforms that service providers use to run their businesses to gain access to both the MSPs’ data and their clients. A new approach is needed — one that efficiently integrates cybersecurity, data protection, and endpoint protection management. Integration enables strict control and interlocked automation that legacy solutions lack but are required to combat today’s threats. You can begin planning and benchmarking your cyber protection posture and potentially achieve lower risk with this checklist.
