NIS2, PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA or CMMC... this long list of acronyms reminds us that complying with cybersecurity regulations is crucial in today’s threat landscape to protect sensitive information and maintain trust in our organization. Moreover, non-compliance not only exposes companies to security risks, but can lead to significant financial penalties and reputational damage. Compliance also facilitates more agile audits.

As attacks grow increasingly unpredictable and complex, cybersecurity defense requires much more than a basic strategy; it demands a proactive approach that anticipates the adversary's every move. Many MSPs entrusted with this critical mission by customers must equip themselves with the right technologies that prevent, detect, and respond to potential attacks and adapt as environments and organizational needs change.

External risks, such as cyber scams, ransomware, and identity theft, often steal the limelight. Just look at the numbers: our threat lab reports that 105,571 malware attacks have been blocked daily in the last month, translating into one incident every second. However, insider threats, while more difficult to detect, can be just as damaging to organizations.

With a 168% rise in evasive malware, cyber threats have reached a new level of sophistication. This type of malware employs advanced techniques to evade detection by traditional solutions, which often rely on pre-defined signatures to identify threats. These malicious programs pose a major challenge in cybersecurity by camouflaging themselves within legitimate processes and acting stealthily.

Ransomware is one of the most talked about and publicized security threats in the modern era. What started as a few high-profile attacks caused by a handful of malware variants has developed into a virulent threat landscape in which increasingly unskilled attackers are able to execute highly effective ransomware campaigns against organizations of all sizes and levels of complexity. Small-to-midsize businesses disproportionately fall victim to ransomware, as they often lack the technical skills and tools needed to prevent infection.
