Not all ransomware attacks come with an \u201c800\u201d number that can assist victims with setting up a crypto-wallet and ultimately paying the ransom. For a customer who\u2019s experienced an attack, this is a complex issue to deal with and most people wouldn't know how to respond to such an incident. After all, the MSP was hired to protect the client\u2019s data from being breached, and helping to facilitate the ransom transaction because the cybersecurity measures failed would seem like a natural extension of that protection.<\/p>\n<p>But it turns out that there are numerous legal implications of assisting in these types of payments and transactions according to government regulations, and it's not always clear what the right course of action is.<\/p>\n<div class=\"call-to-action\">\n<div class=\"call-to-action__left\" style=\"width: 65%;\">\n<div class=\"call-to-action__title\">Responding to a Data Breach: Guide for MSPs<\/div>\n<div class=\"call-to-action__text\">Learn how to create a flexible and robust data breach response plan and prepare for the unexpected.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"call-to-action__right\" style=\"width: 35%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/PDF.png\" alt=\"Whitepaper icon\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper hs-cta-deferred\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0\" data-portal=\"5442029\" data-id=\"62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0\" id=\"hs-cta-62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/5442029\/62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/5442029\/62d663a3-9fca-42d8-9dc3-fdc92166abc0.png\" alt=\"CTA\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Sustainability may start to affect your bottom line<\/h2>\n<p id=\"last\">Another interesting topic covered at MSP World was based on sustainability.

Does it simply mean having a recycling bin in your office or is it a top-to-bottom, fundamental change in the way your business operates to ensure sustainability?<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable generally tends to mean products and companies that utilize environmentally conscious business practices. For example, companies like Apple that use recycled aluminum and gold in their hardware would be considered to be environmentally conscious! For an MSP, this could mean a multitude of new sustainable initiatives that meet the needs of the new-age buyer!<\/p>\n<p>As we move into the second quarter of 2022, we\u2019ll see more cybersecurity topics at the upcoming conferences.
