Ryan talks with Guillaume Boisvert, Director of Product Innovation at Sherweb about tackling the HR Challenge for IT Service Providers. Finding cybersecurity talent is at the top of the list for MSPs trying to scale their business.

Please Note: There are a few mentions in this episode of our upcoming Cybersecurity Expo in Phoenix.
As we’re sure you’re already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has meant that it’s now vital to limit social contact and avoid gathering. For that reason, out of an abundance of caution, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our Live In Person Cybersecurity Expo in Phoenix to September 14 & 15, 2022. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you can understand the steps we’re taking to help keep our staff and attendees safe.
What happens next?
All registered attendees will be contacted by Robin Miller in the coming week so that she can facilitate moving your registration to the new September dates.
For those who have not yet registered, great news…we will be announcing in the coming week our next live in person event at the end of March this year. We are finalizing locations and dates as we speak…stay tuned!
‘Assume everything is dirty’ states PC Matic Vice President Corey Munson when he catches up with Ryan to talk Application White Listing. Adoption of a Zero Trust architecture provides users with essential security that fills gaps left by reactive endpoint protection software solutions, and provides an additional layer of protection from increasingly complex cyber threats.

Al Alper, CEO at CyberGuard 360 takes a 10,000 foot view with Ryan and a look at the mindset of our customers and regulators. As Al states, ‘They don’t want War and Peace…just tell them what they want and need to know in plain English’. Visibility – Documentation – Audit Trail…The CyberGuard 360 roadmap to winning new business at incredible margins!

Danny Jenkins, CEO at ThreatLocker breaks down security stacks with Ryan. Controls, Detection and Training being the three main pillars. Where some go heavy with multiple layers of detection, controls can often time get over looked. Danny gives us a scenario where hackers can actually use a compromised customer environment as recon against you the MSP to get around detection tools, where controls like Zero Trust and MFA can prevent these attacks and ultimate breach.
Matt Scully, Channel Chief with Mailprotector goes beyond with Ryan to discuss email extortion and bad guys exploiting the psychographics of human behaviour. How private is electronic communication? From trade secrets to personal matters we all have communications that we don’t want in the public realm…As Matt says ‘Protecting you against you’ is a perfect way to describe cybersecurity leading into 2022.
IoTSSA has always been strong advocates of cybersecurity education…its been our mantra since we started back in 2017. Huntress have taken cybersecurity training for MSPs to the next level with their HackIT events which they started in 2020 and continued to evolve this year.
Ryan sits down with Huntress, Sr. Security Researcher, John Hammond to unpack the event and the benefit to you the IT Service Provider. Hands on training and demos that really illustrate the anatomy of a hack and the mindset of cyber criminals. A clear understanding of the threats and offense coming at you, best prepares you to defend and shore up your stack and security offerings.

Ryan and Vince Crisler, Founder and CEO at Dark Cubed have a great re-cap discussion of the IoTSSA Cybersecurity Expo in Charlotte late last month. From getting started to evolving your current security stack, no matter your cybersecurity maturity level. Vince lays out that different customers have different needs and you need to deploy solutions that best fit a specific client or situation. Too often the fundamentals are overlooked when deploying cybersecurity and managing client risk.
Our next live event is coming up in Phoenix, January 18 – 20. You can catch up with Vince and Dark Cubed in person. He is looking forward to continuing these conversations and meeting you all.
Communicating the threat landscape to the SMB has always been a challenge and customers simply don’t believe, it can and will happen to them. Ryan talks with Curricula, Founder and CEO, Nick Santora about how they are using the power of story telling to penetrate and educate the single largest threat to organizations…the users themselves.
For National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the team at Curricula are hosting a series of webinars every Friday in October, broadcasting live at 2 p.m. EST / 11 a.m. PST. https://www.curricula.com/curriculaville
