I speak with many MSPs online, in demos, at events, over email, and chat. They must cover multiple areas of knowledge. Maintaining specialist knowledge in each area is a constant battle. But when MSPs search for answers, they're often met with a sea of information from others trying to make sense of things too. True expertise can get lost amongst the speculations and partial confusions. Microsoft 365, being ubiquitous, adds to their challenges.

Grand View Research predict that USA demand for MSP services will double by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 13%. It’s a similar story in most developed markets as businesses seek to outsource their non-core IT activities to experts. Such a strong sellers' market would normally mean easy growth. But MSPs cannot hope to recruit and train sufficient cyber security engineers. America has a 500,000 strong cybersecurity job gap.

1. Limited Scope of Security Metrics Microsoft Secure Score assesses security configurations and behaviors within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem but does not account for external threats. MSPs need a holistic security approach that includes network security, endpoint protection, and third-party integrations, which Secure Score does not cover (S:1).

Microsoft's security team has recently made a significant discovery regarding an increase in cyber-attacks orchestrated by the Russian state-backed group known as the Midnight Blizzard crew. This group, which also operates under the aliases Nobelium, APT29, Cozy Bear, Iron Hemlock, and The Dukes, has been actively targeting personal credentials, according to Microsoft's findings. The Midnight Blizzard hackers employ residential proxy services to conceal the source IP addresses of their attacks.

Microsoft 365 Secure Score is a comprehensive security analytics tool for a single tenant. It uses a score-based approach to provide actionable recommendations to enhance security. However, MSPs should be aware that the scoring process fails to fit the needs of scaling MSPs in terms of business exceptions, managing multiple clients, remediation and alerting, not to mention making an assessment which is independent of MS upselling.
