The Chicagoland channel pro is hustling to get clients ready for travel restrictions that go into effect in her home state tomorrow, while developing online resources that she and peers can use to support each other in difficult times.

Hmm, wonder what topic Matt, Rich, and guest host Mike Semel, of Semel Consulting, will talk about this week. Surprise! It’s the Coronavirus outbreak, and the challenges of coping with remote work generally and security specifically these days, a subject they get into in detail with interview guest Richard Stiennon, of security consultancy IT-Harvest.

Held virtually rather than in person, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the recent event sought to boost partner satisfaction and retention by highlighting capabilities MSPs should be using but often aren’t, according to executive Craig Fulton (pictured).

Offered through Cysurance, the new feature issues policies with no additional underwriting from inside the Compliance Manager interface, allowing MSPs to create cyber insurance as-a-service offerings that combine coverage with ongoing monitoring.

As part of an occasional series about how channel pros are coping with the Coronavirus outbreak, this Staten Island, N.Y.-based MSP talks about helping customers work from home.

Join Erick and Rich as they discuss the latest product security investments at ConnectWise, supporting clients from home during the Covid-19 outbreak, and an amusement park operator in the U.K. who’s turned panicky toilet paper hoarding into a game.

Follow these long-, medium-, and short-term steps to increase your company’s value and maximize the sale price.

Breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day. Especially if you’re Matt and Rich, and you’ve got plenty of hot IT topics to discuss with guest host Bob Nitrio, CEO of Ranvest Associates. Items on the menu today include HPE’s compact new micro-server for SMBs, Nerdio’s new Windows Virtual Desktop deployment and administration system, WatchGuard’s acquisition of Panda Security, and Axcient’s new backup protection technology.

In conjunction with a “shift left” strategy launched earlier this year that seeks to build security earlier into software development, the company is ramping up threat modeling, rolling out automated tools, and introducing its first formal bug bounty program.
