Non-MSPs Are at Risk for Cyberattacks

About MSPAlliance

Founded in 2000, MSPAlliance is the world’s largest community for managed service providers. Free membership gives you access to resources, research, and certification programs that help you build a mature, compliant, and trusted MSP business.

In a follow up to our episode titled “Who are Hackers Really Targeting?”, we have further evidence that it is not MSPs who are vulnerable to attack, but instead, the non-MSP organization has a higher likelihood of being successfully breached in a cyberattack compared to an MSP. 

This is not to say MSPs do not get targeted or breached. This does mean, however, that successful cyberattacks are more likely to occur in a non-MSP organization than a fully matured managed services entity.
