How MSPs should evaluate AI security

AI is already incorporated into most of your clients’ workflows. Employees are using chatbots and other built-in GenAI tools to draft emails, analyze data and automate work. The challenge? Much of that activity is happening outside your formal security controls, and that creates a new risk layer. For managed service providers (MSPs), the question is no longer whether to secure AI adoption for their clients, but how to evaluate the right AI security solution.

How MSPs can protect Australian businesses from payment diversion fraud

Payment diversion fraud is a rapidly growing and potentially expensive threat to Australian businesses. Attacks exploit weaknesses in payment verification processes to trick organisations into transferring funds to criminal-controlled accounts. According to Australia's National Anti-Scam Centre, Australians lost A$166.8 million to payment redirection scams in 2025, up nearly 10% compared to 2024.

Identity Security: The New MSP Imperative

For years, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) built their businesses around infrastructure management, endpoint support and network reliability. But cyber threats have evolved significantly, and with them, the role of the modern MSP. Today’s cyber threats rarely begin with sophisticated malware or brute-force attacks against firewalls. Instead, cybercriminals target the easiest and most effective entry point into any organization: identities.

Best server backup solutions for MSPs in 2026

Server backup is one of the most important services managed service providers (MSPs) deliver. Clients rely on servers to run core applications, store critical data and keep daily operations moving. When a server fails, data is deleted or ransomware disrupts systems, clients expect their MSP to recover quickly. That makes the choice of an MSP server backup tool critical. The best server backup for MSPs is not just a utility that copies data.

Unified ITOps + Security Platforms: 10 Tools Closing the Gap

Most MSPs run IT operations and security on two separate stacks. That means two consoles, two data sets, and one endpoint that both teams fight over. The 2026 buying shift is toward a single platform that does both, and the vendor landscape has reorganized around it.

SMBs Hit a Cybersecurity Breaking Point as 91% Fear AI-Driven Attacks, Driving Shift to MSP-Led Security Models, WatchGuard Finds

LONDON, May 20 2026 -New research from WatchGuard Technologies, a global leader in unified cybersecurity for MSPs, reveals that while most businesses believe they are adequately staffed, the complexity, speed, and scale of modern threats - especially those powered by artificial intelligence - have outpaced what internal teams can realistically manage. The result is a fundamental shift away from do-it-yourself security toward externally delivered, always-on protection models.

The MSP Evolution: From IT Support to Cybersecurity Leadership

For years, managed service providers (MSPs) have played a critical role in helping businesses maintain and support their IT environments. But today, the market is demanding something fundamentally different. Cybersecurity has become a continuous operational challenge, one that many SMB and midmarket organizations can no longer manage alone.
