Add staffing and funding cuts to the mix, and the problem is only likely to get worse. Governments are among the largest consumers of cybersecurity services, and private companies are often reliant on the revenue from these contracts. It’s vendors such as these that are likely to fall victim to funding cuts, either through reduced service contracts or future grant funding. Federal cuts to CISA could create new opportunities for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and cybersecurity vendors offering Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. A funding reduction in cybersecurity hands cybercriminals a significant opportunity, ensuring their activities will reap long-term rewards and maintain stability in their revenue stream.
