Cybersecurity-as-a-services is the new Tech Trend
With cyberthreats on the rise and affecting businesses around the world, managed services providers (MSPs) view cybersecurity-as-a-service as the major technology trend that will impact their market in the next three to five years. However, with two-in-three MSPs suffering from a shortage of qualified cybersecurity staff (Cyber warriors) and other challenges, the industry may soon struggle to meet customer demand. This is one of the key findings of a new report by Kaspersky Lab into the current realities and trends in the global MSP market.
As the global managed services market is expected to reach $245 billion by the end of 2022, cybersecurity is no longer seen as a separate or optional function among MSPs. Instead, it has become an integral part of the IT services they deliver.
Cybersecurity is expected to boost MSP business in several ways.
The study also reveals that MSPs face a number of challenges when it comes to investing in the expansion of their cybersecurity offering. Two thirds of MSPs, serving both the large enterprise market (60%) and smaller businesses (58%) agree that a shortage of qualified IT security professionals for hire contributes to the challenge of ramping up their cybersecurity offering. In addition, around half have difficulties with the remote deployment and management of their solutions (51% and 54% respectively). To overcome these challenges, MSPs should select cybersecurity products that are easy to manage and use but also offer high quality protection.
Lastly, it is the high time for all the smaller and large companies to secure their data, by using the right kind of back-up /recovery software for the business continuity.
