The global IT outage caused by a faulty CrowdStrike CrowdStrike Falcon update may be a wakeup call for #cybersecurity. “While teams scramble to restore operations by any means necessary, they are prioritizing uptime of operations vs. security – so they might be inadvertently creating more loopholes, more misconfigurations, and basically more vulnerabilities that can be taken advantage of," said Armis' Nadir Izrael. #infosec #ITsecurity #BSODs #crowdstrike

MSPs: The Compliance Opportunity You Can't Afford to Miss Are you ready to unlock a massive growth opportunity in vertical markets like healthcare, retail, and finance? MSPs are being called upon to manage compliance efforts, but it's not always an easy job. According to Apptega’s 2024 State of Continuous Compliance report, many MSPs are struggling, with half still using spreadsheets to manually track, measure, and report cybersecurity compliance. 📊 Apptega's CEO, Dave Colesante, has the solution: a compliance automation platform. "A very high percentage of partners are still using spreadsheets like Excel for compliance services," Colesante shared with ChannelE2E. "But many are interested in our platform and building a compliance-as-a-service framework." 💡 Key Insights: * Compliance services offer a lucrative opportunity for MSPs to grow their annual recurring revenue (ARR). * Nearly half of MSPs get less than 10% of their revenue from compliance services. * 87% of MSPs are open to delivering compliance services through a compliance automation platform, but only half are currently doing so. * 75% view compliance as a “high growth” business, with 86% interested in continuous compliance-as-a-service offerings. In a cutthroat environment where recurring revenue and margin growth are at a premium, continuous compliance services represent a hugely lucrative opportunity. However, there's much work to be done to fill the knowledge, technology, and resource gaps to fully capitalize on this opportunity. 📈 👉 MSPs and MSSPs, it's time to step up and seize this opportunity. Let's move beyond spreadsheets and leverage compliance automation platforms for a brighter, more profitable future. #MSPs #Compliance #Cybersecurity #ARR #GrowthOpportunity #Apptega #ContinuousCompliance #ChannelE2E https://bit.ly/3xZaFFj
