MSPs must now make cybersecurity their top priority
Headlines about cybersecurity hacks seem to appear on a daily basis, with big-name customers and vendors often affected. These stories are sometimes accompanied by spurious calculations of the amount of money lost by companies to ransomware attacks. The truth is there is no way of calculating the loss, even simply financial, because it happens so often, and the details are almost never known. But for the growing number of managed service providers and their customers, these threats are real. Lives and livelihoods are now at stake. The latest generation of attacks is causing even more concern as the trust we place in the software we all rely on has been shaken to its foundations.
