Channel pros seeking to deal with growing threats to their customers’ VoIP systems should examine providers’ networks, service-level agreements, and incident response plans.

This Vendor’s 4K Videoconferencing, UC, Audio, and Zoom- & Teams-based Solutions Will Help D&H Partners Outfit the New Hybrid Meeting Spaces

Don’t worry. If you haven’t collected enough box tops to get the coveted ChannelPro Weekly secret decoder ring, you’ll still enjoy this week’s episode, in which Matt and Rich are joined by returning guest host Corey Kirkendoll, of 5K Technical Services. The three of them discuss LogMeIn becoming GoTo and making a push into the channel, Unitrends launching its first small office BDR appliances, and the secrets to picking an MSSP.

In a crowded market, only differentiated value tied to business outcome will make an offer outstanding.

Erick and Rich are intrigued by LogMeIn’s corporate makeover as GoTo, eager for you to freshen up your marketing materials for the age of hybrid work, and impressed by the chicken who somehow snuck into a high-security zone at the Pentagon.

Bring your own…pitchfork? Poodle? Pompadour? You’ll just have to listen to this week’s show to find out. Luckily for you, you’ll also hear Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Rory Sanchez, of True Digital Security, discuss the new stand-alone small business edition of Microsoft Teams, Poly’s desk phone trade-in program, research from Auvik revealing the future of SMB networking, and evidence from Sophos and Trend Micro that security vendors are all-in on cloud.

This channel-only vendor provides VoIP services by MSPs for MSPs.

Security takes multiple layers, even when the threat you’re securing against is walking, dead, and hungry for brains. Take it from MSP and security pro Charles Henson, of Nashville Computer, who joins Matt and Rich this week to discuss Datto’s SaaS Defense product, MSP360’s flat-rate Amazon S3 backup storage, takeaways from the recent Bandwidth.com DDoS incident, and how to profit from helping businesses complete security questionnaires.

If there’s one thing channel pros serious about growth have in common, its killer penguin investigations. At least we think that’s what they’re all tracking on their dashboards. Maybe Ken Pecot, COO of The 20, can set us all straight on that.

Erick and Rich sift through the implications of this week’s VoIP DDoS attack, explain the one situation when you should never present a sales proposal, and consider hiring a German hamster to manage their investments.
