Written by Content Team | Nov 29, 2024 1:00:00 PM

Did you know that 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyberattack close within six months? As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, businesses are turning to trusted partners for proactive protection. This shift presents a unique opportunity for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to transition into Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and meet the rising demand for specialized cybersecurity services.


Here, we’ll explore why moving to an MSSP model is crucial for staying competitive and how the Axur Partner Program can provide the tools, training, and support you need to make the leap.

 

Why Transition to an MSSP model?


1. Address Rising Cybersecurity Threats

 

As cyber threats become more complex and frequent, the demand for specialized, continuous protection has surged. According to the Webroot Report Hidden Costs of Ransomware, 46% of businesses have experienced significant client impacts from cyber incidents, with potential losses reaching up to $80 billion per incident. As clients seek continuous protection, MSPs that evolve into MSSP can provide comprehensive, proactive security to prevent and mitigate costly incidents effectively and build stronger client relationships.


2. Capture a Growing Market


The demand for managed services is skyrocketing. According to MSSP Alert, the managed security services market is projected to grow at a 15.4% CAGR, reaching an impressive $86 billion by 2030. This rapid expansion reflects a heightened demand for cybersecurity outsourcing, creating a lucrative opportunity for MSPs to diversify and scale their offerings to stay competitive.


3. Stand Out from Competitors


In a saturated field, adding cybersecurity capabilities can set you apart. Transitioning to an MSSP positions you as a trusted partner in safeguarding your clients' operations, ultimately leading to higher customer retention and profitability.
