2022/05/17

Ever had a client say, "I thought you were already doing that?" I recently had a challenge with a vendor product that I had provided an audit for the client to check the security controls and ensure the client had it optimized. The questions I ask Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group are all around how to clearly understand what we are responsible for whether it is with our vendors or clients. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/msp1337/support

Endless topics to discuss and yet we still find ourselves talking about many of the foundational things we should all be doing in our businesses.

2022/04/12

We all struggle with different areas of cybersecurity and there is no perfect solution. That being said we shouldn't get paralysis analysis either, it isn't new and it isn't going away. Most of us started implementing cybersecurity tools and services long before MSSPs existed and have in many cases satisfying controls of the different frameworks anywhere from 10% to 60% and didn't even know it.

We have all implemented tools with the intent to solve or address all kinds of different challenges. After they have been implemented, are they working as expected? I sit down with Brian Weiss of ITECH Solutions to talk about just that. We covered a lot of ground regarding getting tools dialed in and where they need SOC services, and additional layers of security might require 3rd party resources. We also uncovered that not all clients make sense to onboard with today's threat landscape.

I sit down with Ismael Amado of IT Ninjas to talk about starting a new MSP right before a pandemic and how important a security-first approach is.
