Only you can prevent breaches. Just ask the security marmoset! Don’t know who he is? You will after spending a little time with Matt, Rich, and guest host Karl Bickmore, of managed service provider Snap Tech IT. You’ll also hear their thoughts about the latest consumer PCs from Dell, Datto’s plan for coping with coronavirus, and the giant opportunity in managed security.

Pivoting in response to the coronavirus pandemic, ChannelPro transformed the second of five planned regional events to a live, online forum aimed at helping MSPs and IT solution providers build an action plan for surviving—and thriving—in these uncertain times.

Unveiled last fall and now in general availability, the edge and endpoint security system comes with recently-added functionality designed to help partners and end users tackle new challenges posed by the coronavirus outbreak.

Equipped with lightweight agents and backed by optional premium support services, the new products aim to extend protections already available for PCs, laptops, and mobile devices to another critical set of IT assets.

Channel pros can use IoT technology to help churches enhance visitor experiences and modernize facilities management.

Matt’s from Chicago. Guest host Mike Bloomfield, of MSP Tekie Geek, is from New York. They have firm opinions about hot dogs.

The new solution, called Passly, combines two-factor authentication, password management, and single sign-on functionality with dark web reporting. It builds upon and will eventually supplant parent company Kaseya’s AuthAnvil solution.

Security is hard. Cloud security is even harder, but with the right strategy and methods it’s possible to design more secure systems.

The new system, which now comes pre-loaded on Dell commercial PCs and can be added to late-model devices for free as well, continually looks for BIOS changes that could be an indicator of malicious activity.

Ah, pie. Could there be a better treat in stressful times? We won’t claim it’s a substitute, but this week’s episode featuring guest host and MSP Ed Correia of Sagacent Technologies is a close-ish second. Grab a seat and listen in as Ed talks with Matt and Rich about what his company is doing to support customers during the coronavirus pandemic and prepare for tough economic times.
