Security Layers

Do you ever wonder if you have too many layers in your security stack? Is it possible you have an overlap between one or more of your existing products? While Charles Love and I might have created more questions than answers I think you will find some great suggestions on how to ensure you are managing your security services stack well. Change is hard for all of us but in an evolving threat landscape, we need to be prepared for change!

The Little Things

In our quest to provide the best services to our staff and our clients, it is easy to get caught up trying to solve very large problems. I think we are programmed that way as we like the feeling when we overcome those big challenges. I discuss with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group how what may seem insignificant or small can directly improve the cybersecurity posture of the infrastructure we are responsible for.

Why Peer Groups Matter

The month of November has focused on incremental changes that MSPs can make to improve their security posture. I sit down with Jay Tipton to discuss why joining a peer group is one of those incremental changes. If you know Jay you know he has been through a lot this last year. The combined consumption of energy drinks (cases) and countless hours (over 500) invested in recovering from ransomware has given Jay some great insights and wisdom to share with all MSPs.

MSP Relevant Framework Adoption

Now that we are in week two of the cybersecurity program we thought it would be helpful for MSPs to have something that they can map their program too. I sit down with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group to discuss their journey to baseline security with SOC-2 and other frameworks that can help MSPs of all sizes be successful with their cybersecurity maturity journey. Our goals are to give any MSP a level of confidence with supporting evidence of their cybersecurity maturity growth.

Ounce of Prevention = Pound of Cure

After we talked about the pre/post-boom I thought we should cover the security services side of being an MSP. Join me with Joshua Smith of Varonis as we talk about understanding what it is that we are trying to protect. Do we understand the risks? Are we talking to the right stakeholders? We are now in season two and just in time for the holidays... Do you know where your data is? Do you have the right tools in place? Thanks to our sponsor MSP-Ignite for making this episode and all of Cybersecu...
