MSP 1337

With more than 100 attendees for a full day of networking and learning. The TD preday and another 30+ next door for MSP-Ignite peer group facilitated discussions, it was a learning and growing experience for all. I sat down with Roddy B. of ShureWeb to get his take and perspective. We went off script a few times, and I'll be sure to bring some more insights in future episodes. Insights to be had for sure all the way around.

Cybersecurity Insurance and Risk Management are generally conversations we avoid in the ITSP space, but with recent events, Matt Lee and I sit down to talk about how the two complement each other, the pitfalls, and some tips for protecting yourself through both.

Where does my data go? What data was sent across the API? How do we separate the signal from the noise? Pedro Castillo of Onum and I sit down to talk about what might be the subsequent transformation of data processing since Akamai came on the scene. Onum's mission is to address the challenges in data management and cybersecurity. Enjoy our raw conversation, which just got captured; we agreed to share it immediately.

A fireside chat with George Bardissi of bVoIP and me at the 1Stream by bVoIP Partner Gathering. Mistakes we made, the challenges we overcame, and then we jump into some interesting questions ranging from AI and Insurance to the Cybersecurity Trustmark and how it benefits MSPs. This is a different format and was recorded with a live audience.

There has been a lot of buzz over the last 12 months surrounding the use of GenAI. We are all familiar with the likes of ChatGPT, Perplexity, and others, but what is the real value of AI when used correctly? I sat down with Alex Heublein of NETSURIT to talk about how they take an approach with their clients that involves democratizing AI and automation.

With ITN Secure right around the corner, I sit down with Matt Topper of ConnectWise to talk about Community. What does it mean to share in a community? Matt Topper and others at ConnectWise are bringing the community to their partners. GTIA and Tech Degenerates... Whether you are in a community, peer group, or part of an association, this is for you. When multiple groups come together to share, everyone benefits.

Over the years industry events have evolved. I remember the earily 2000s and it was very partner focused, Community, Vendors shared their roadmaps and you heard directly from those that were running the inititiatives. Join me as Charles Love of ShowTech Solution and I look at the changes and how we are seeing a glimplse at a new future of smaller micro events and more community.

Remember the first time you implemented an RMM tool? Did you buy a tool at a show to take advantage of the show special? Charles Love of ShowTechsolutions and I will walk through the history of vendor shows and discuss how much has changed as we approach 2025.

MSSPs in the Healthcare vertical face many challenges and opportunities. I sat down with Russell Teague of Fortified Health Security to discuss providing Cybersecurity services in the healthcare space and how it stands out from other verticals. If you are an MSP or MSSP, this is a great opportunity to further explore unique service offerings.

Navigating Frameworks and implementing the controls and safeguards within can be quite daunting. I sit down with Matt Lee to talk through the taxonomy project that so many have worked on and how it helps break down expectations so that one can be successful. Without visuals, as this is a podcast, join us as we try to articulate verbally what this all means.
