“At Blackpoint, we understand the challenges of running an IT services business”
MSPs play a critical and ever-increasing role in cybersecurity, providing outsourced IT services to millions of businesses and organizations. The overall size of the global managed services market is projected to grow from $312 billion in 2022 to over $606 billion over the next five years.1 Amidst this growth, MSPs identify their top challenges as competition, revenue growth, profitability, and acquiring new customers.2 Business and sales training is a key way to meet these challenges—according to CompTIA, MSPs with business training average 30% higher growth.
The new platform will also help MSPs increase their proficiency in cybersecurity, with courses in threat operations, cyber insurance, and compliance. Because 44% of MSPs report a need for technical staff training,3 a technical track of courses featuring topics like threat hunting, cloud security, and best practices for MSP security will be available to Blackpoint partners later this year, as will cybersecurity sales training. In a market where cybersecurity expertise is in short supply, MSPs can distinguish themselves with specialized knowledge.
