As IT increasingly moves to the cloud, what role should today’s mature MSP play in protecting against data breaches for clients with the aid of vital security policies such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

For today’s MSPs, providing IT security has become a challenge to remain efficient and comprehensive. Not only must MSPs stay ahead of hackers, they also need to keep pace with accelerating changes to cloud-based infrastructure.
