Topic: Security - Page 85

This week, Erick and Rich have the strategic importance of managed security, the strategic value of well-run quarterly business reviews, and the undeniable disappointment of hitting a home run through your own windshield on their minds.

Have you thought deeply—and we mean deeply—about what was in the last box lunch you ate? You will after listening to this week’s show, in which Matt, Rich, and their returning guest host—MSP and certified ethical hacker Michael Cocanower, of itSynergy—discuss that important topic along with the latest cybersecurity news from ConnectWise and opportunities to take your Azure skills from the 101 to 201 level.

15 months after its launch, CompTIA’s ambitious security information sharing and analysis organization is issuing some 50 actionable alerts a month to over 1,120 members based on expert analysis of threat intelligence from across the industry.

Speaking with ChannelPro at its IT Nation Secure event, ConnectWise CISO Tom Greco (pictured) says MSPs are making headway against attacks on their customer records, but still have a way to go.

Dedicating full-time analysts to preparing threat intelligence and sharing it with the IT community has been an ambition at Perch since its founding five years ago.

Speaking at the vendor’s IT Nation Secure event today, VP of Cybersecurity Initiatives Jay Ryerse (pictured) warned attendees that channel pros without security expertise are losing clients to more skilled peers in a process set to accelerate in the years ahead.

Erick and Rich review Datto’s thoughts about “cyber resilience” and co-managed IT, explore the new services every channel pro should be offering in the new age of IT, and marvel at the latest example of someone blowing off steam during the pandemic unconventionally.

Purpose-built for MSPs, SaaS Alerts protects and monetizes SaaS applications.

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.

Speaking at ChannelPro’s SMB Forum last week, business development VP Rob Rae (pictured) said the respect MSPs have earned in the last year keeping SMBs afloat provides an opening for selling security, continuity, and other much needed services.
