MSP 1337

What happens if your RMM goes down and doesn't come back? We sit down with Mike Stewart of Anchor Networks and Charles Love of ShowTech Solutions to get their take on the importance of Runbooks. By the way, they were at a peer group and brought this up. Let's just say those who sleep alone at night are always looking for friends to share their no-sleep drama.

I always like to catch one or two attendees of an event after they get home to see what did they come away with. I spoke with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group to get his reaction on an event that he has now attended for the third year in a row. If you weren't at Channelcon24 I hope this gives you some FOMO and that we will see you at CCF and ChannelCon 2025.

The demand for cyber soldiers is always on the rise. We look at the challenges of protecting Critical Infrastructure and that while there is a lot of Doom and Gloom... there is hope. I sit down with Chris Storey of Qriar to discuss the importance of Incident response planning and how the right plan and some education might actually create a tipping point!

Using a framework to find gaps in your organization is a great way to improve your security posture. Have you thought about using the same framework with your clients? I think you find this discussion with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group a real eye-opener to the opportunities you have to reduce risk within your own company and that of your clients.

We are finally talking about Application Software Security with Matt Lee of Pax8. We went deep on a few safeguards and found some tangents.

Ever wonder what the world outside of IT does with cybersecurity awareness training? If they don’t engage with an MSP, how many do it at all? I sit down with Jennie Johnson of TCE Company to get her perspective on transitioning from the world of education (K12) to working in the IT Managed Services space.

We have all configured Email automation at some point and we often use systems and tools that automate email notifications with actions or instructions. With that being said, how often do we check in on the recipient as to whether or not the action and instructions are being followed. Listen to Charles Love of ShowTech Solutions share his experience and resolution when it comes to email automation as it pertains to Security Awareness Training.

Talking through the CompTIA Cybersecurity Audit outcome with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group. Obtaining the Trustmark is no small feat and requires dedication and effort by the entire organization. In this episode, we will talk about where they find themselves as they navigate the next twelve months as they prepare for the next audit.

We find ourselves getting closer to the end of CIS Top 18. In this episode, Matt Lee of Pax8 and I discuss Service Provider Management. Matt does an excellent job of laying out a success path for any MSP to implement. You should note that this is a non-technical control.

If you didn't get a chance to attend the sessions on MSP+ Playbooks or tabletop exercises, then join Matt Topper and me as we recap some of our interactions with attendees and feedback from both our sessions. In this episode there are no fire alarms.
