Did you hear about the latest data breach caused by a stolen password? Technically, it was a user account security token used by the malicious cyber threat actors to gain initial access into the company’s chat workspace.

The IT services industry has continued to grow in the backdrop of high demand for innovative solutions across all industries. Global spending will surpass $1.1 trillion in 2021, which reflects a 9% increase from 2020. Managed services account for much of this spending with managed service providers (MSP) at the heart of the impressive growth.

In the face of major disruptive change, the organizations that succeed are those that do more than just react to new circumstances. They evolve.
