SAP is one of the most business critical enterprise applications. As a result, keeping it secure is a top priority for managed service providers. In the last year SAP has notified its customers of multiple high risk vulnerabilities, through its SAP HotNews email alerts, which require urgent patching – but the challenge for MSP clients is to know “do these impact me?”

Automation has become the backbone for businesses wanting to stay afloat in the highly competitive markets today. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are among those reaping heavily from IT automation processes. The benefits MSPs obtain from IT automation include lower costs, reduced errors, and increased productivity. With automation, MSPs can acquire better data, become more reliable, and scale their operations.

In their effort to protect their customers from a range of modern threats, managed services providers (MSPs) may encounter a strategy known as credential stuffing. This hacking technique involves rapidly inserting large numbers of usernames and passwords—often collected from corporate data breaches—into the login fields of other sites and digital services.

My previous blog was, “I’ve never used a Mac, and now I need to manage them.” For the second installment of this series I will highlight some key tools and resources for the new Mac admin.

Any MSP owner or IT director knows the pain of losing valuable institutional knowledge. While often overlooked, strong IT documentation can be the difference between hours, potentially days, of downtime and a smooth operation. To avoid these costly missteps, IT pros are increasingly turning to IT documentation software to help document, standardize, and use contextual information about their IT environments.

Today, NinjaOne, a unified IT operations platform for MSPs and IT departments, has introduced new image backup capabilities to Ninja Data Protection, the company’s natively developed backup and disaster recovery solution. Additionally, the company is now offering Ninja Protect, a new bundled security product with BitDefender to improve users cybersecurity standards and resist ransomware.
