How MSPs Can Expand Their Services

The Growth Challenge for MSPs

The demand for advanced IT services is skyrocketing. Cybersecurity, cloud services, compliance, and data management are at the forefront of client needs. According to a recent industry report, the managed services industry worldwide is expected to reach a projected revenue of $731,081.2 million by 2030. A compound annual growth rate of 13.6%

However, MSPs often struggle with resource limitations. The cybersecurity skills gap, for instance, is a significant hurdle. The talent gap hit a record 4.8 million professionals in 2024, a 19% increase from last year.

Key Areas for Expansion For Cybersecurity Programs

Managed Detection and Response (MDR): Proactive threat detection and response leveraging AI, machine learning, and human expertise to address advanced cyberattacks.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR): Integrates data across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments for more comprehensive threat detection and response.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Focuses on monitoring and defending individual devices against malicious activity, critical in today’s remote work environments.

Cloud Security: Protecting cloud environments with encryption, identity management, and compliance tools as cloud adoption continues to rise.

Vulnerability Management: Continuous scanning and patching of vulnerabilities across networks, applications, and devices to prevent exploitation by cybercriminals.

Compliance Services & Strategic Advisory: Helping clients navigate complex regulatory requirements like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA by offering regular audits, assessments, and compliance management tools.
