After a year of unprecedented turmoil, predicting what lies ahead isn’t easy. Seven brave experts agreed to help us try anyway.

New procedures and policies are required that emphasize identity and access control, while issues around privacy and financial responsibility remain to be addressed.

Sharing we like. Oversharing, not so much. And sometimes the kindest thing you can do for others is close up that kimono of yours. Or so say Matt, Rich, and their guest host, cloud consultant and entrepreneur Jamison West. They also have some things to say about SolarWinds MSP’s soon-to-be new name and the security landscape in 2021, not to mention cloud management, a topic they discuss with RMM pioneer and now cloud identity management CEO Peter Sandiford, of Zerotek.

MSPs can boost traditional revenue streams by extending customers’ hardware and software asset lifecycles, and managing and securing on-prem and cloud-based assets.

Ah, the power of euphemisms. They can turn what might otherwise be called a smashup and make it sound far more appealing. That’s just one of the useful facts you’ll learn this week from Matt, Rich, and guest host Angel Rojas, president and CEO of DataCorps. They’ve also got input for you on SolarWinds getting hacked, Datto’s plans for the future, D&H betting big on professional services, and the challenges of cloud management.

Erick and Rich discuss the latest news from Datto on its post-IPO plans, urge you to do performance reviews with your employees at least quarterly, and ponder why anyone would want to take up the world’s strangest martial art.

This year’s rush to online everything has channel pros coping with cloud management headaches. Here’s how to conquer them.

Wouldn’t embracing zero-trust security be easier if Fox Mulder popped up on your PC every time you were about to click a bad link? Matt and Rich think so, as does their guest host, security expert Angela Hogaboom of RSI, Cloud Girls, and the Colorado chapter of Women in CyberSecurity.
