Welcome to Monday's Cybersecurity MSSP Market News Update. If things seem a little different today, that's because they are. I'm Jessica C. Davis, managing editor of CyberRisk Alliance's channel brands, which include MSSP Alert and ChannelE2E. (Have you reviewed ChannelE2E too? If you haven't, you should. ChannelE2E also covers cybersecurity, but it also covers a range of trends, tools and issues of interest to MSPs including the AI ​​service desk, selling AI services to end customers, The Standard Suite For MSP tools such as RMM and PSA, as well as mergers and acquisitions in the managed services market.)
But I digress. Today I'm filling in for Jim Masters who will be back tomorrow with his MSSP market updates and news for you. That's because every business day, MSSP Alert delivers a quick collection of news, analysis and conversations from across the MSSP, MSP and cybersecurity world. Today is no exception.
