2025 State of Ransomware for MSPs

Ransomware reached record-breaking levels in 2025 — and your clients are squarely in the crosshairs. With attacks up 25% year-over-year, active threat groups doubling in three years, and more than half of all recorded attacks targeting the small and mid-sized businesses MSPs serve, the stakes have never been higher. This report uncovers the tactics attackers are using to exploit security gaps and the critical steps MSPs must take to protect clients — and grow their practice.

Key Insights Include:

  • Blind Spots: How unmonitored endpoints, shadow IT devices, and ESXi hypervisors are giving attackers a free pass into client environments.
  • A Fragmenting Threat Landscape: Why the top 10 ransomware groups now account for only 50% of attacks — and what that means for group-specific defenses.
  • Living Off the Land: How ransomware gangs use legitimate admin tools and strike between 1–5 AM to evade detection and outpace IT teams.
  • The MSP Opportunity: How leading MSPs are turning 24x7 MDR into a recurring-revenue differentiator — and what it takes to deliver always-on protection without building a SOC.
  • MSP Resilience Checklist: 10 actionable steps to close coverage gaps, eliminate blind spots, and scale security across your entire client base.
