Gosh, puffins are cute. Who doesn’t love a bird in a tuxedo? Or are we thinking of penguins? What’s the difference, anyway? Never mind, we don’t have time for that, because there are way too many other topics for Matt and Rich to discuss on this week’s show with guest host Rob Boles, of managed security service provider BLOKWORX.

An addition to the Vade partner portal provided at no additional cost, the new system is designed to help MSPs profit from growing demand for managed security services.

The new functionality, part of the vendor’s larger zero-trust security strategy, is designed to help security software and analysts prioritize alerts by assigning a risk score to users, devices, and applications based on threat intelligence data.

Based on software from “prevention-as-a-service” vendor Perception Point, the new system is the latest optional add-on for the vendor’s core security and data protection platform.

As the country starts to open up, the multivendor effort has plans to continue through the year with a shift toward education.

Matt flies solo with guest host Manuel Palachuk, business coach and author of Getting to the Next Level: A Blueprint for Taking You and Your Business to the Top, this week, who somehow manages to turn the show into a drinking game.

Get ready for a sucker punch of IT news, views, and insights. Joined by guest host Vince Tinnirello, of Anchor Network Solutions, Matt and Rich chew over IT Glue buying TruMethods, Pax8 buying Sea-Level Operations, Sophos entering the XDR market, and Cytracom adding team texting to its UCaaS solution. Then your hosts catch up with Darren Gottesmann of Ingram Micro for a look at the crazy year behind us and the “golden age” we may be entering now.

Industry-specific solutions leveraging Internet of Things technology are solving pain points and increasing efficiency and safety.

The new product, unveiled alongside a cross-vendor security framework, combines data from multiple Sophos and third-party systems to identify and block sophisticated attacks that any one of those platforms might miss on its own.

Hungry for IT insights? Good, because Matt, Rich, and guest host Ro Kolakowski, founder of 6th Street Consulting, have a heaping helping for you on this episode, spanning from D&H’s new esports and gaming business unit to Intel’s outlook on the year ahead, BitTitan’s emerging “data synchronization as a service” plans, and the characteristics that make great MSPs great, according to Service Leadership’s Paul Dippell.
