The MSP Zone

MSPs are facing a new challenge and opportunity as thousands of small and medium sized businesses are coming to grips with how to rapidly adopt a remote work model. Nearly the entire planet right now is trying to figure this out. 

For MSPs, this presents a great opportunity to collaborate with clients (existing and new) on creating new, secure, remote work environments.

As the world economies shift rapidly towards remote work environments for the short term, new challenges emerge for businesses and organizations. Remote workers suddenly expected to work productively from remote locations, often with little training on the technologies, systems, and procedures needed to do so effectively. 

At the same time, organizations are struggling with how to deploy and enable remote workers so they maintain the same levels of productivity, safety, and security compared to physical office environments. 

Enter the MSP.

As the new reports of attacks on MSPs have increased, the MSPAlliance has mostly remained silent. Beyond internal industry communications and programs to improve cybersecurity measures (something we have been doing for 20 years), we have not taken direct issue with any of these news accounts.
