Seven out of 10 executives responding to last year’s PwC Global Crisis and Resilience Survey reported a lack of confidence in their organization’s ability to respond sufficiently to business disruptions. Researchers blamed this assurance lag on studies showing too few companies have the “foundational elements of resilience” to feel successful. In cybersecurity terms, this means many firms have lost faith in their ability to:

  • Anticipate threats
  • Deflect most attacks
  • Respond rapidly to incursions
  • Refine policies and processes afterward
  • Translate learnings into improvements later

How can business leaders restore confidence in these resilient practices? By removing some obstacles in their way.

Here are common resilience roadblocks, where a managed services provider’s (MSP) support can help shove them aside:

  • Shadow IT is when team members procure and use technology without your IT department’s knowledge and permission. Your MSP can help by conducting an asset inventory as an external help desk, rather than as an internal auditor. 
  • Scarce Funding for cybersecurity is typical in the absence of operational information. Your MSP can help by gathering metrics about thwarting threats that demonstrate return on IT investments. 
  • Shaky Culture around cybersecurity grows without regular awareness campaigns. Your MSP can help by supporting education programs with outside specialists.
