MSPs have privileged access to multiple client networks, making them high-value targets for attackers seeking to compromise many organizations at once.
MSP Challenges
- Multi-Client Access - Managing credentials across many environments.
- Supply Chain Risk - MSP compromise affects all clients.
- Tool Security - RMM and PSA tools are attack targets.
Best Practices
- Zero Trust Architecture - Verify every access request.
- Privileged Access Management - Control and audit all privileged access.
- Client Segmentation - Prevent lateral movement between clients.
Conclusion
MSPs are high-value targets because compromising one can lead to access to many client networks. By implementing Zero Trust, privileged access management, and client segmentation, MSPs can protect themselves and their clients.
