The Privileged Access Management Landscape for MSPs

We’ve compiled findings from research reports and industry experts across the cyber landscape to provide in-depth insights and analyses on the current state of the privileged access management landscape, and how MSPs can scale their cybersecurity programs with a growing business.

SMB Cybersecurity Landscape

With EDR, XDR, and MDR solutions becoming the norm, threat actors evolved beyond the traditional attack surfaces of compromising specific endpoints, servers, or cloud workloads. While these attacks haven’t stopped (ransomware and business email compromise remain the two leading attack vectors, according to NetDiligence), cyber criminals have expanded their focus to a more vulnerable attack sector: compromised, stale, and reused credentials

Key Findings and Takeaways

The Cyber Landscape is Growing Exponentially

Despite (or perhaps because) of the challenges SMB customers face today, IT Businesses are growing steadily in the face of economic headwinds. Researchers believe that these businesses that have survived and thrived in this landscape demonstrated flexibility and ability to drive efficiency with their offering, whether by offering co-managed IT for their clients or by adopting more flexible payment terms.

Privileged Access, Identity, & Recommendations

We project that IT Teams that focus on optimizing their ROI from their existing solutions with automations or integrations between existing tools will be more prepared to assess their cyber risks and prepare for changes to compliance frameworks or best practices. Specifically, we project that teams with the technology to manage privileged access without expanding attack surfaces will be best-positioned

    How MSPs can Implement Compliance-Mandated Access Management Controls

    Due to changing compliance framework requirements for both privileged administrator and end-user accounts under NIST and CMMC, CyberQP has created a complete guide to help you address each type of identity, how these changes impact you.

    A Complete Outline: How MSPs Can Secure Admin Accounts Under CMMC with Privileged Access Management.

    The Department of Defense recently published the final version of the CMMC program’s rules. According to the Federal Register, these rules began their effect on December 16th, 2024, after the government finalizes the pre-existing DFARS clauses. Following initial implementation, the United States will begin ramping up enforcement and rollout of CMMC standards and require all contractors to meet NIST SP 800-171 r3’s 110 cybersecurity requirements and achieve CMMC Maturity Level 2 and pass a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO)’s audit.

    Phishing Attacks Are Growing More Sophisticated

    On October 29th, 2024, Microsoft issued reports on Russian state-sponsored threat actors sending highly targeted spear-phishing emails to thousands of targets based in the government and other sectors. In these campaigns, the malicious actors impersonated Microsoft employees and created social engineering lures based on AWS.

    Examples of CMMC 2.0 Security Controls That PAM Supports

    Access Control (AC):

    Privileged Access Management solutions will help you limit access to sensitive information, keeping the number of security risks as low as possible and minimizing your attack surfaces.

    Identification and Authentication (IA):

    This requirement calls for security measures to safeguard CUI and only grant access to authorize users, which specifically calls for identity verification before granting access to an organization’s digital environments or devices.
