Rising security concerns and a lack of in-house skills within end-user customers are driving the need for third-party service providers. According to a recent MSP Day Report, “A total of 79% of partners felt customer security concerns were a good opportunity particularly with the rise of remote workers, 72% said the lack of in-house security skills at their customers was also creating new revenue possibilities.”
