MSSPs: Bridging AI & Legacy Security Gaps for Businesses

Security teams are facing significant challenges, with weak visibility and persistent old risks. More than half of breach victims reported being told to keep incidents quiet, rising to 68.6% in the U.S. What's interesting is the struggle with AI visibility. Nearly half of organizations have partial or no visibility into "shadow AI" tools and personal accounts used for work. Managers tend to overestimate their organization's visibility into AI usage more than security practitioners do. Meanwhile, old infrastructure continues to create exposure. Financial firms experience more than double the average attack volume per device compared to other industries. This includes 42.2 million detections tied to a legacy Telnet flaw and 35.6 million Log4Shell attempts. The bottom line is that managed security service providers have a key opportunity. They can connect AI governance, breach response, legacy remediation, and data oversight to help clients manage these new and old security challenges.
