MSPs are responsible for addressing generative AI and cloud cybersecurity concerns
With sophisticated cyberattacks increasing worldwide, operators must account for generative AI and the cloud when adopting a holistic, strategic approach to their security needs. MSPs have a role and responsibility in providing support in their onboarding practices.
Recent analysis from Wipro, a leading technology services and consulting company, has revealed the need for collaboration to enhance cybersecurity resilience across businesses. Its State of Cybersecurity Report 2023, curated from the responses of 345 security leaders from various organisations, emphasised a need for CISOs to embrace disruptive changes in the cybersecurity landscape and adopt a holistic and strategic approach to cybersecurity that can support their business objectives and enable digital transformation.
Generative AI is set to provide new opportunities and challenges for cybersecurity, and recent research has already explored how the current average time for a threat actor to launch a targeted cloud attack is only ten minutes – five of those being dwell time. Cloud automation allows this attack speed to be hastened. When it comes to more opportunistic attacks, cybercriminals take on average under two minutes to find a publicly exposed credential.
Attackers are evolving their techniques for credential access, privilege escalation, and lateral movement, as identity and access management (IAM) is a crucial cloud security control. In big cloud service provider environments, IAM controls are routinely misconfigured, exposing the attack surface for actors to exploit by an exponential degree.
Mark Appleton, Chief Customer Officer for ALSO UK, believes that MSPs have a responsibility to help their customers establish correct cybersecurity procedures as part of their onboarding package and client offering. “The number one concern when it comes to a cyber breach is data loss, as it ultimately leads to many othe ..
