When it comes to ransomware protection, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are in a unique position. On the one hand, they are often the main line of defense for their customers against ransomware. At the same time, they themselves may be a target of ransomware. Not only that, but very often the threat actors attack MSPs just as a means to gain administrator access to their clients. That’s the lesson that some of them learned the hard way during the Kaseya attack earlier this year, when a popular MSP software platform was compromised by threat actors, allowing them untethered access to their clients’ privileged information.
Indeed, this is likely the reason why it would seem that attackers are increasingly targeting MSPs in particular, and it’s time for them to get as serious as they can about ransomware protection.
