The MSP Security Coverage Report 2026 by enhanced.io examines how effectively managed service providers protect their clients across five primary attack surfaces:

1. Endpoint

2. Identity

3. Cloud

4. Network

5. IoT and OT

The analysis reveals a significant disconnection between modern cyber threats and the monitoring services currently provided by MSPs. 

While endpoint security remains mature and well-covered, there is a dangerous lack of visibility regarding identity-based attacks, cloud environments, and IoT devices. This gap is exacerbated by a global cybersecurity skills shortage, leaving many businesses vulnerable to sophisticated, cross-surface campaigns. 

The report ultimately argues that the industry must move beyond simple tool deployment toward integrated monitoring and professional oversight to address these unmeasured risks.

In this podcast, we discuss how MSPs can more effectively protect their clients across all 5 attack surfaces examined in the report. And if you'd like to read the full research piece, here it is: https://enhanced.io/the-msp-security-coverage-report-2026-edition-1
