Weeks’ Participation Helps Shape Guidance for
MSPs and SMBs in the Fight Against Ransomware
Datto Holding Corp. (“Datto”) (NYSE:MSP), the leading global
provider of cloud-based software and security solutions
purpose-built for delivery by managed service providers (MSPs),
today announced its collaboration on the Ransomware Task Force's
(RTF) “Combating Ransomware: A Comprehensive Framework for Action”
report. Datto CISO Ryan Weeks is a core member of the RTF, a broad
coalition of more than 60 experts in industry, government, law
enforcement, and international organizations coming together in the
fight against ransomware.
The RTF, formed in January by the Institute for Security and
Technology (IST), recognizes that ransomware attacks present an
urgent national security risk around the world. According to
Datto’s Global State of the Channel Ransomware Report, while threat
actors do not discriminate, 95% of MSPs state that their own
businesses are increasingly being targeted and 78% of MSPs reported
attacks against small and mid-sized businesses (SMB) in the last
two years. Any recommended solutions must therefore apply both
internationally and to a wide array of affected sectors, including
MSPs and SMBs. The varied expertise of the members allowed for
multifaceted solutions and a full, comprehensive strategy to stem
the ransomware tide.
The recommended RTF framework consists of four goals:
- deter ransomware attacks through a nationally and
internationally coordinated, prioritized, and resourced
comprehensive strategy;
- disrupt the ransomware business model and decrease
criminal profits;
- help organizations better prepare for ransomware
attacks; and
- respond to ransomware attacks more effectively.
The 48 recommended actions provide guidance for addressing some
of the root causes of the ransomware epidemic, including the low
barrier to entry for intelligent cyber criminals, the difficulty of
tracing cryptocurrencies, and lack of law enforcement resources.
This has created an environment of safe havens for threat
actors.
Effects on the MSP Community
The RTF finds that MSPs do not commonly provide extensive
security coverage or ransomware mitigation, but doing so would
create a widespread positive impact for SMBs.
To further this effort, baseline requirements for MSPs
include:
- Adherence with a cyber-hygiene program (for example, CIS
Controls Implementation Group 1 and the NIST Cybersecurity
Framework)
- Financial funding and support to help MSPs develop cyber
resilience capabilities
- Stricter disclosures of the occurrence of ransomware incidents
for increased transparency
- Formation of an MSP-ISAC, an information sharing and analysis
center specific to the unique needs of the MSP industry
“The release of these findings is an important step both in the
U.S. and globally in instituting the proper frameworks,
enforcement, and funding to make a difference,” said Ryan Weeks,
CISO at Datto. “MSPs continue to be on the frontlines of a cyberwar
but need more support, and this report elevates this concern. The
time for concerted, coordinated action is now. Datto is proud to
have played a part in this groundbreaking coalition, and looks
forward to the day when the threat of ransomware no longer looms
over the heads of citizens, students, teachers, businesses,
hospitals, and nations.”
