As more businesses experience resource and cost constraints, 86% of MSPs and MSSPs customers are outsourcing their security needs to consolidate security tools, according to OpenText.

"Staffing issues that have plagued the security industry for years are getting worse due to today's complex economic environment. As a result, already short-staffed teams must find creative ways to do more with less," says Geoff Bibby, SVP of Marketing and Strategy, OpenText Cybersecurity.

"With limited time and security resources, simple and effective security must be a priority. MSPs equipped with a comprehensive cyber resilient portfolio of cloud-based data security and data management solutions are uniquely positioned to help clients gain efficiencies without compromising security," added Bibby.

86% of MSP and MSSP customers are looking to consolidate their security tools, and 88% of respondents also think security and compliance tools are merging.

SMBs are most interested in outsourcing data security, infrastructure monitoring and risk reduction.

82% of MSPs and MSSPs report the need for comprehensive, on-demand security as the top reason customers use their service.
