Why MSP Security Matters More Than Ever
In 2026, MSPs are the #1 target for cybercriminals. Compromising one MSP gives attackers access to dozens or hundreds of downstream clients.
Top 5 Threats Facing MSPs
- Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) — Average ransom demand for MSP clients has reached $4.5 million.
- Supply Chain Attacks — Attackers target MSP tools (RMM, PSA, remote access) to pivot into client environments.
- Credential Stuffing — Reused passwords across environments. One compromised credential can cascade across your entire book of business.
- Business Email Compromise (BEC) — Social engineering targeting MSP staff.
- Insider Threats — Disgruntled employees with privileged access to multiple clients.

- Multi-factor authentication everywhere
- Network segmentation between clients
- EDR on every endpoint
- Automated patching within 48 hours
- Security awareness training
- Incident response plan with quarterly drills
