Cybercriminals are increasingly agile and organized – exploiting new technologies and tailoring attacks. The increasing complexity of cyber threats has driven the trend toward outsourcing one or more of an organization’s security operations.
The theme of this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme – “See Yourself in Cyber” – focuses on how both individuals and organizations can better protect themselves from cybercrime. One of the most important steps we can all take is learning to recognize and report phishing attempts.
MSPs are being targeted by cybercriminals, as a single successful attack opens the door to multiple victims. This puts additional pressure on cybersecurity partners to step up the security services they offer their customers. The figures are worrying, as 9 out of 10 managed service providers state they have suffered a successful cyberattack since the start of the pandemic. This means MSPs are overtaking end users as the main target of malware, ransomware, phishing and other threats.
