Incorporating external services into an organization’s operations can inadvertently increase its attack surface by creating more points of potential entry or compromise. This is due to these entities, like managed service providers, having access to sensitive aspects of the IT infrastructure. Careful management of these relationships is critical to ensure that the security measures of these providers are in alignment with the organization's policies and standards.
