The study found that a significant proportion (86%) of MSPs surveyed believe security and compliance tools are converging.
Integrating soltuions emerged as the top challenge when forming new partnerships, reported by 32% of MSPs and MSSPs.
Geoff Bibby, SVP of Marketing and Strategy, OpenText Cybersecurity, said: “With limited time and security resources, simple and effective security must be a priority.
