Managed service providers (MSPs) provide many important technology services to their SMB customers, but they are currently focused on more than just helping their SMB customers protect their business-critical IT systems from cybersecurity threats and attacks. There are no essential services.
Interestingly, more and more MSPs, not just MSSPs, are being asked to add or incorporate cybersecurity services into their offerings to their customers, and this has been a big interesting trend we've seen recently.
This will be a recurring theme at next week's RSA Conference 2024, which will be held in San Francisco from May 6th to 9th. Security vendors, experts, and participants are aware of the emergence of attackers, ransomware, vulnerabilities, malicious actors, and new threat vectors. One of the industry's largest cybersecurity events, the RSA Security Conference provides a venue for MSPs to share with their customers the latest innovations, services and products they can use to strengthen their defenses.
Here are some of the most interesting pre-RSA news announcements collected by ChannelE2E so far.
