I had the opportunity to play golf with an executive who shared some very insightful perspectives about risk, cyber insurance, and MSPs. The interaction was completely by accident but the information I got was invaluable.
End-users’ perspectives on Managed Service Providers (MSPs), particularly in the context of cyber risk and insurance, are increasingly significant as cyber threats evolve. MSPs are often seen as a crucial defense mechanism, offering a range of IT and cybersecurity services to help organizations manage and optimize their technology infrastructure. With cyber insurance premiums expected to grow significantly, reaching approximately $23 billion by 2025, the reliance on MSPs for risk management and incident response is likely to increase.
Small and medium-sized organizations, which make up a substantial portion of the economy, often lack the internal resources to fully address these cyber risks on their own. They typically benefit from the expertise and continuous monitoring that MSPs provide, which can be more cost-effective than developing in-house capabilities. The role of MSPs extends beyond just managing IT infrastructure; they play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring compliance with evolving cybersecurity regulations. As such, end-users view MSPs not only as service providers but as strategic partners in navigating the complex landscape of cyber threats and insurance requirements.
