SASE solutions are selling like hotcakes these days, but the reason why may surprise you. Let Matt, Rich, and guest host Angela Hogaboom, director of assessment services at managed security provider RSI, explain it to you, along with the story behind Datto shipping an Azure Continuity solution, Cytracom buying OmniNet, and Barracuda making three (count ’em) announcements in one busy day.

Research from Kaseya’s recent IT Operations Survey shows SMBs are making security a spending priority for 2022.

Erick and Rich ponder the strategic significance of Cytracom buying OmniNet, the importance of not customizing your managed service bundles, and the logic behind a newly developed technique for potty-training cows.

The SASE platform is designed to provide comprehensive SD-WAN, firewall-as-a-service, zero-trust network access, and secure web gateway functionality in the cloud, in the office, or on the device.

The new and forthcoming offerings were announced on the same day as research showing widespread concern among IT decision-makers about the ability of their current solutions to keep data safe from mounting security threats.

The new functionality will be part of a larger plan to turn the vendor’s twin RMM solutions into unified platforms for administering physical, virtual, and cloud-based assets, according to CTO and Chief Product Officer Mike Adler (pictured).

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

Called RiskResponder, the new tool is designed to give MSPs an intuitive, consistent way to act on an expanded list of security dangers that now includes invalid remote desktop connections and disabling local security tools like Microsoft Defender.

Rich is back from vacation and ready to talk with Erick about Pulseway’s automated self-serve MSP customer portal, best practices for discussing security with customers, and a real estate listing in Florida with an unusual kitchen amenity.

Physical security and cybersecurity are good places for IoT integrators to get started.
