A new study from and FutureSafe reveals that 89% of MSPs (managed service providers) struggle with tool integration while 56% experience alert fatigue daily or weekly. The research exposes a dangerous paradox. MSPs experiencing high alert fatigue are significantly more likely to miss real threats. The very tools deployed to enhance security are creating blind spots through exhaustion.听

The Scale Of The Problem听
听
The average MSP now runs five security tools, with 20% juggling seven to ten and 12% managing more than ten. Only 11% report seamless integration. The remaining 89% must flip between separate dashboards and waste time on manual workflows.听One in four security alerts prove meaningless, with some MSPs reporting that 70% of their alerts are false alarms.听
Among MSPs managing 1,000+ clients, 100% report daily fatigue.听
鈥淢SPs are drowning in complexity, not from threats, but from the tools meant to stop them,鈥� said Jesper Frederiksen, CEO at Heimdal. 鈥淓very new point solution adds another agent, console and alert stream. That noise exhausts people and quietly degrades protection.鈥澨�

Beyond Security Operations听

Agent fatigue extends beyond alert management. Disconnected platforms slow billing processes, complicate client onboarding, and create compliance reporting headaches.听鈥淎gent fatigue isn鈥檛 just a tech issue. It鈥檚 a business risk,鈥� said Jason Whitehurst, CEO at FutureSafe. 鈥淢SPs are juggling tool after tool, but they don鈥檛 work together.鈥澨�
