The UK government is seeking advice on how to strengthen IT Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across the country. The move comes after last week when President Biden issued an executive order to increase cybersecurity defenses across the U.S. The government’s request for input comes at a time when prominent cyberattacks such as, the Colonial Pipeline incident, the Codecov supply-chain attack, and ransomware attacks on mission-critical organizations continue to grow. The proposals collected as a part of this two-month long survey could mean IT management firms will be required to follow updated new security standards.
