“The recent security events are an eye-opener for any third-party vendor. MSPs and MSSPs are challenged by supporting dynamic environments, and with the amount of activity around breaches, it is every important to secure the home front.
“For us at 360 SOC, we go by the saying, ‘practice what you preach or sell,’ and use the tools you sell to your customers with some transparency. This is important. The last thing you want as a vendor is to be the cause of someone else’s breach or chaos.”
