This blog was originally published on MSSP Alert on October 16, 2024. MSSPs want to grow—but the complexity of modern security operations (SecOps) and the unique demands of the security services market make this challenging. In this post, we’ll look at how tools with public cloud or public cloud-like pricing—pricing that is usage- or consumption-based rather than fixed fee or license-based—can help MSSPs grow more effectively and efficiently.

As a former federal CISO who has spent decades designing and securing enterprise infrastructure, I’ve grown increasingly concerned as organizations continue to rely on legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions designed for a different era. These systems, once the gold standard in security, have become dangerous liabilities in today’s modern cloud-native world.

Your organization shouldn’t delay getting a password manager because using a password manager provides visibility into employee password habits, strengthens secure password practices, protects employees from spoofed websites and minimizes the risk of data breaches. A password manager is a solution that helps your employees store, manage and share their login credentials, passkeys, important documents and more.

The main difference between Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is that RBI is limited to providing remote access only to your web browser, while VDI focuses on providing remote access to an entire virtual desktop. Both RBI and VDI protect you from cyber threats by creating separate, secure environments where you can browse the internet and use your device.

As organizations sell to more discerning buyers, scrutiny on security and compliance practices grows. It’s certainly warranted—the frequency of third-party breaches is on the rise.

This is followed by the initiation of a privileged process to load the driver, setting the stage for further malicious activities.
