Accelerated digitalization due to the pandemic and the need to adapt quickly to distance learning made schools the perfect target for cybercriminals.

Small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly turning to managed service providers (MSPs) to take charge of their cybersecurity. This trend was highlighted in a Pulse survey last year, where 88% of the businesses surveyed had contracted cybersecurity tools from external providers and 55% had opted directly for an outsourcing model with MSPs. But as the demand for MSPs grows, so does the competition among them.
