Kaspersky\u2019s research found that other key cybersecurity services that are being prioritised by MSPs globally include malware analysis, security assessments, targeted attack discovery, and security incident response services.<\/p>\n
The survey also found that the majority of MSPs \u2013 81% – have increased the size of their client bases since 2019, with 32% viewing competition as the most serious business challenge \u2013 compared to just 19% in 2019.<\/p>\n
Local data<\/strong><\/h3>\nInterestingly, in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) region, the top security imperatives that MSPs want to add to their portfolios do not include threat intelligence – and are rather managed detection, response, and targeted attack discovery.<\/p>\n
Targeted attack discovery was more important to META MSPs than to those in any other region, highlighting the local importance of this particular technology.<\/p>\n
Notably, compared to the 81% global figure, 87% of META MSPs have experienced an increase in their client base since 2019 – while 38%, compared to the global 32% figure, see competition from other MSPs as their key concern.<\/p>\n
This shows that competition is particularly high within the META region as more businesses increase their investment into managed security solutions.<\/p>\n

While small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) often believe they do not need such comprehensive services, Rashed Al-Momani, Kaspersky Head of Enterprise in Africa & Turkey, Qatar & Kuwait, argues otherwise.<\/p>\n
