Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for managed service providers is a security layer that requires users to verify their identity through multiple methods before accessing client systems. 

Most MSPs have layered security covered. The standard stack is typically looks like endpoint protection, firewalls, email filtering, MFA for end users. There’s a category of risk, however, that often gets less attention than it deserves: the privileged accounts your team uses every day to manage client environments.

Barracuda has acquired Evo Security, combining Evo's MSP-first identity and access management (IAM) capabilities with the intelligent BarracudaONE® platform.

Evaluating vendors isn't just about buying software; it is about choosing a partner you can trust to protect your clients' IT infrastructure and end-user systems. If you ask the right questions early in the vetting process, you can cut through the marketing noise and find reliable partners.

Relying on standalone passwords rather than a centralized Single Sign-On (SSO) architecture creates massive operational bottlenecks. We’ll break down exactly why navigating user access management without SSO creates critical failures for MSPs

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) must adopt unified identity and access management (IAM) strategies to securely scale their operations across multiple client environments.

Managed service providers carry a unique security burden: your technicians need fast, reliable access to client systems, but every standing admin account expands your attack surface.

This blog breaks down why MSP technicians bypass PAM, the risks those workarounds create, and how MSP leaders can reduce friction while improving security, accountability, and technician adoption.
