Don't be like AT&T: Vet your vendors

The article advises businesses, especially MSPs, to thoroughly vet their vendors' security measures—including data privacy policies, certifications, compliance, business continuity plans, and internal security training—to ensure robust protection of customer data and avoid the pitfalls exemplified by AT&T.

It's not just about how you protect your customer's data, but also how anyone you do business with protects their data.

When picking vendors, make sure you're evaluating their security posture by reviewing things like:

  • Data privacy policies
  • Certifications and compliance
  • Business continuity plans
  • Internal Security Awareness Training

Don't be the MSP with the reckless vendors.
