SMB business security: MSPs could be doing more

Published last week by IT management software firm Kaseya, the study polled more than 1,200 IT professionals at companies with 5,000 employees or less. Among the study’s findings was that one in three SMBs suffered a data breach in the last five years, with about one in 10 experiencing a breach in the last 12 months. Fifty-four percent of respondents cited strengthening IT security as a top priority for 2018 – a 14% increase compared with Kaseya’s 2017 survey of SMB IT operations.
