The hanging of an MSP “Shingle” and Your Business Security

 

Are you in the cross hairs of hackers? How can a hacker multiply his efforts? By attacking a company who protects other companies.  Hackers new targets are the Managed Services providers (MSPs) because they are connected to their clients and are trusted. Unfortunately, many of these managed service providers are just the old break-fix computer shops who hung up a shingle offering to manage your IT services without an understanding of the security requirements that are involved when you take over a network and its operations.  If you are a business, consider the risk that your MSP can pose and be ready to block threats coming through them.
