Business email compromise (BEC) continues to be one of the fastest growing and most risky attack vectors for companies, as it has become a multimillion-dollar business that causes almost 80 times more losses than ransomware.
Windows 10, which is still the most widely deployed operating system on desktops, has announced end of support for October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the last version of Windows 10, which means that Microsoft will stop providing support and security updates for that particular version and any vulnerabilities discovered after the EOL (End of Life) date will not be fixed by Microsoft, leaving your operating system, and that of your customers, exposed to security risks.
The debate surrounding the integration of best-of-breed versus a single-vendor security platform has been discussed for some years. On one side, we have niche solutions that offer a specialized approach to addressing cybersecurity challenges. On the other side, there are the potential benefits of a consolidated platform that promises seamless interoperability for an exponential improvement of security posture.
Today’s state and local governments are facing a deluge of increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats. As custodians of vast amounts of sensitive information on their citizens, these institutions are high-value targets for threat actors. The ongoing digitization of government functions combined with the growing prevalence of advanced cyberattacks has significantly escalated the level of risk these organizations must manage.
The global managed security market is projected to experience significant growth in the coming years. Factors such as the increasing frequency of cyberattacks, stringent regulatory requirements, cybersecurity insurance adoption, security tool sprawl, and the shortage of in-house security expertise drive organizations to seek reliable managed service providers (MSPs).
As cyberattacks and the overall threat landscape grow more complex, managed service providers (MSPs) need to evolve. As an MSP, you must be capable of protecting customers from attacks targeting networks, devices, and users. Finding ways to protect your customers’ expanding threat surface is one thing, but doing so without compromising on operational efficiency or profitability is another. At times this can feel like an insurmountable task.
