MSPs: Strengthen Security & Backup with SaaS BCDR

Kaseya announced a live webinar titled “Why MSPs must rethink security and backup strategies” scheduled for June 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. The session, hosted by Kaseya’s Product Marketing Director, Maria Alvarez, and featuring security strategist James O’Neil, will be streamed on the BleepingComputer Live platform. Registration is open at kaseya.com/webinars, with a replay available for 30 days after the event.

The backdrop for the webinar is a stark increase in ransomware campaigns that not only encrypt endpoints but also target cloud workloads and SaaS applications. According to the 2025 Verizon DBIR, 45 % of MSP‑related incidents involved data exfiltration from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, underscoring the need for immutable, API‑driven backups. The session will dissect how SaaS backup solutions that support granular e‑discovery, version‑level restores, and cryptographic immutability can shrink Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) to under five minutes and achieve Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) of less than 15 minutes.

Attendees will learn how to embed Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) into a unified security fabric, leveraging Kaseya’s SaaS Backup and Recovery suite alongside its BMS PSA platform. The agenda includes live demos of automated failover to Azure Government regions, policy‑driven retention controls compliant with GDPR and CCPA, and integration with AI‑based anomaly detection engines that flag unusual API calls to backup APIs. Practical take‑aways will cover building an incident‑response playbook that aligns backup verification, legal hold, and threat hunting steps, as well as using Kaseya’s new “Resilience Score” dashboard to benchmark an MSP’s recovery readiness against industry peers.

The webinar’s panel will also address the oft‑overlooked risk of credential theft, recommending multi‑factor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management (PAM) for all backup admin accounts. By the end of the session, MSPs should be equipped with a concrete roadmap to replace legacy tape‑based backups with a cloud‑native, API‑first architecture that can survive a full‑stack ransomware attack and keep client services operational with minimal downtime.
