The 2021 ASCII IT Success Summit series of two-day business-building events for MSPs and solution providers ends the year in Anaheim, capped off with the ASCII Cup awards.

The full-day virtual event armed attendees with strategies for hiring in today’s job market, securing remote and hybrid workers, making money in post-endpoint managed services, and more.

The ChannelPro SMB Online Forum West gathered MSPs, IT consultants, VARs, and integrators to discuss business strategies and technology trends for a changing workplace.

This Expert Guide offers some helpful advice on incident response management, how to expand your security offerings by partnering with security providers, and what you should know about zero trust. It also provides some tips for protecting customers against phishing attacks and deep fakes, and highlights some common mistakes to avoid in your own practice.

Being aware of the predisposition characteristics and following best practices can help MSPs prepare for and mitigate this type of insider threat.

To prevent more breaches of the kind that struck IT management solutions in the last year, the company says, MSPs must embrace cyber hygiene best practices and vendors must embrace independently audited security frameworks like BSIMM.

The two-day event for MSPs featured educational sessions focused on best practices, new revenue streams, and the latest industry trends.

Feel free to tackle only simple challenges, channel pros. Just don’t expect to make much at it. Take it from this week’s guest host, podcaster and industry analyst Dave Sobel, it’s the hard stuff that produces big money. Dave, Matt, and Rich have plenty to say about that topic, as well as the news from Acronis’s CyberFit Summit, and Dave has a few thoughts to share about Kaseya’s efforts to harden its software against future breaches too.

Live together from sunny Miami, Erick and Rich discuss the strategic implications of the Acronis Cyber Network, the challenges of preserving office culture in a work-from-anywhere organization, and the misadventures of what may be the world’s stupidest hiker.
