Can’t be too safe out there these days, people. Mask those shoes! Then sit back and enjoy this week’s show, in which Matt, Rich, and guest host Carrie Simpson, of MSP marketing service Managed Sales Pros, discuss CompTIA’s new security threat intelligence sharing group, ChannelPro‘s 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards, and the tricks of the trade for rolling trucks to client sites safely in the era of COVID-19.

Erick and Rich applaud the launch of CompTIA’s security threat intelligence sharing group, urge MSPs to resist “quarantine fatigue”, and discuss a U.K. citizen who wore a face mask in public as required, but used it to cover a different part of his anatomy.

During this day-long virtual event, cybersecurity experts and practitioners shared best practices for keeping businesses safe in the midst of the pandemic and for the future workplace.

Initially spearheaded by ConnectWise, the group now known as the CompTIA ISAO will strive to protect channel pros, vendors, and their customers from cybercrime by collecting and disseminating details about the latest threats.

Erick and Rich discuss Bitdefender’s new managed detection and response service, surveying your clients about changing needs caused by the coronavirus, and a new, totally sold out, style of Crocs sandals that look and smell like a bucket of KFC chicken.

Bleach! It keeps both your socks and your SOCs clean, if Matt and Rich are to be believed. And that’s just one of the hot topics they discuss this week with guest host and channel pro Michael Cocanower, of itSynergy. There’s also SonicWall’s latest security research, Bitdefender’s new managed detection and response service, Tech Data’s new Americas president, and Windows 10’s fifth birthday.†

Now is the time to offer a full security stack of cost-effective remedies designed to mitigate risk even as your business models shifts.

The new offering, which supplements the vendor’s GravityZone and other security solutions, is designed to help MSPs manage a never-ending torrent of alerts more effectively by offloading some of that task to an experienced third-party.

What the real-world exploits of a recently indicted cybercriminal can teach everyone about effective security.

The enhancements to Microsoft 365 and Teams were accompanied by the separate release of a solution designed to help workplaces closed due to the coronavirus welcome employees back safely.
