There has been a recent surge in IT spending when it comes to security budgets with double-digit growth across multiple categories of security, particularly in the cloud security arena.

Despite clear evidence of a massive increase in security breaches that have come along with the explosion of SaaS usage, most MSPs offering SaaS security management know first-hand how difficult it can be to convince customers and prospects to invest in enhanced and proactive security measures.

Security Breaches YoY (2017-2020)

775% Increase in reported breaches

This revenue growth dilemma for MSPs is rooted in how their customers and prospects perceive that data loss, ransomware, and other threats are vaguely “out there somewhere,” while the actual scope of the problem remains almost impossible to visualize and quantify. It’s a Catch-22: if organizations can’t clearly see and segment the various threats, they won’t be highly motivated to pay for the security required to mitigate them.

But what if these organizations could be shown a clear picture of the truth? What would change if MSPs had the ability to pinpoint for customers and prospects the various threats impacting them right now with a no-cost security risk report that was easy to generate and share?

What if you could show them tangible threats that are happening right now, like:

• Their business email & password are exposed online
• The CEO’s account had a brute force hacking attempt last week
• There have been 7 login attempts from foreign nations

Augmentt Secure Threat Reports are a highly compelling sales tool

Augment Secure is a multi-faceted platform that enables proactive security for MSPs to offer to clients. The first tool in the Augmentt Secure toolbox is the detailed Threat Report. It can provide concrete evidence of how customers and prospects need additional security services. Here’s an illustration.

Consider how an MPS’s sales proposition would improve if it could document and show a customer’s CEO that there were 47 recent hacking attempts on the organization’s Microsoft365 account. That’s precisely the level of insight that Augmentt Secure gives MSPs to enlighten their customers.

• Show prospects the last 90 days of software security threats
