Everything we’ve been told about MSP cyber services is wrong.
Currently, the cyber security approach for MSP clients includes steps like End User Security Awareness, Patching, EDR, Access Control, Vulnerability Management, and SIEM implementation—essentially throwing various tools at the problem.
However, what if we’ve had it backwards? Shouldn’t we start by asking why each control is necessary and if it matches the client’s risk profile? Clients are seeking change and are tired of outdated methods.
Instead of merely adding services, we should start with vision, foresight, and leadership, embodying the principles of a vCISO. It’s about building a foundation of strategic brilliance, not just following the continuum but redefining it. Rethink Cybersecurity—Start with Vision, Start with vCISO.
