Episode 19 • MSPs vs. Rising Cloud Storage Costs – Who’s Gonna Win?
3 DEC 2023 · As an MSP, you should already know that profitability is the real business you’re in. So any unpredictability in your business model equates to a potential, well.., “UNprofitablity”. As part of your backup as a service, you keep customer data for a specific period and even retain some for long periods of time. But, as your customer base grows, so does the backup storage necessary to accommodate new systems and data. So, how do you ensure cloud backup storage doesn’t kill your profitability? Find out as we talk with Eddie Huang, Solution Engineer at Quest Software, to discuss how your company can affordably utilize backup storage.
Episode 18 • DMARC Demystified
1 DEC 2023 · As cybercriminals continue to leverage email as a primary initial attack vector, attacks that rely on domain, brand, and individual impersonation result in business email compromise, vendor email compromise, and deposit fraud. Of course, there’s an opportunity for email scanning solutions and even security awareness training to help with the problem, but there’s an entire security protocol established to help ensure senders are who they say they are while aiding with email deliverability. Joined by Sam Hutchinson, Co-founder and CEO at Sendmarc, we'll discuss Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance - better known as DMARC, what it is, how it works, and how it helps your organization's cybersecurity stance.
Episode 17 • The Evolving CSP - The “S” Should Stand for “Security”
27 NOV 2023 · As organizations look for ways to better leverage the cloud to deliver resources and services to employees, customers, and partners, one of the results is going to be expansions in network infrastructure and increases in network traffic by communication service providers, or CSPs. So, what does the future look like for CSPs, how are enterprises driving this future, and what’s the benefit to IT organizations? Find out how CSPs are expanding services and infrastructure and how it will benefit their enterprise customers as we talk with Terry Young, Director of Service Provider Product Marketing at A10 Networks.
Episode 16 • Users: You Are the Weakest Link. Goodbye! (Kicking and Screaming)
26 NOV 2023 · A cybersecurity stance is, of course, made up of a number of solutions that each inspect, detect, protect, and respond in a consistent manner. And it’s this consistency that somewhat determines just how secure the organization is. But what about when you factor in the human element – the “great inconsistency”, if you will. How do users impact the organization’s cybersecurity stance? Find out as we talk with Dan Conrad, North American AD-Security Team Lead at OneIdentity, where we'll address the challenges with the human element in cybersecurity.
Episode 15 • Defending on a Budget: Does Good Cyber Defense have to Equal High Spend?
26 NOV 2023 · It's fair to say that when we think about stopping a cyberattack, it's almost always in the context of some kind of assumption of having a number of solutions in play. And, depending on the types of solutions you use (and, of course, the specific ones you employ), the costs begin to add up. So, is an "unlimited" budget a requirement here, or is it even possible to defend on a budget? Find out as we talk with Stacy Leidwinger, VP of Portfolio Marketing at Secureworks, as we discuss the concept of establishing and maintaining a cybersecurity stance without breaking the bank.
Episode 14 • What's Up with WhatsApp? Is Enterprise Messaging at Risk?
17 AUG 2023 · Whether an enterprise is in the public or private sector, there’s a need secure and compliant communication on enterprise-authorized channels by all employees within an organization. Such policies are vital not only for regulatory compliance but also for safeguarding data privacy and maintaining resilience against cyber threats. So, what’s at risk and how does it impact your organization? Find out as we talk with Anurag Lal, CEO of Netsfere to discuss the current state of secure messaging.
Episode 13 • Creating a Security Culture: Clippy Had it Right All Along
16 AUG 2023 · If a system has a vulnerability, you patch it, right? So what’s the patch for users that continually click on malicious content in email and on the web? It’s Security Awareness Training, of course. In the world of we vulnerability management, never have a system reject a patch, or resent the IT team for applying it – but in the case of Security Awareness Training, it’s an ever-present problem. Why is this the case and how can you architect an environment that nudges people towards better choices that improves your state of cybersecurity? In this podcast, we’ll talk with Javvad Malik, Lead Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4 to find out.
Episode 12 • Sustainable IT using an Environmental, Social, and Governance Approach
16 AUG 2023 · One of the growing focuses of globally-minded organizations today is the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable products. Many governments and regulatory bodies have introduced laws and regulations that compel organizations to think and act this way. The digital transformation to the cloud leveraging virtualization and hyperconverged infrastructure is one example of how IT is leading the way. But what else should organizations be doing and what’s next? In this podcast, we talk with Nicholas Tay, Cloud Chief Technology Officer at Sangfor and discuss IT’s involvement in the organization taking an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) approach.
Episode 11 • You’ve Got 99 Problems and Data Privacy is Still One
11 JUL 2023 · Very often data privacy and security are overseen by compliance regulations that often span multiple jurisdictions. Laws like GDPR and California’s CCPA have found ways to make the expanse of their influence go global (or at very least, cross-border), despite organizations not existing within locales where the laws originate. We’ve even seen very large fines issued (something we’ll talk about today) making the compliance to these regulations very real. In this podcast, we talk with Alasdair Anderson VP EMEA at Protegrity about how to navigate the waters of data privacy and security regulations.
Episode 10 • IoT: On the Cusp of Greatness
5 JUN 2023 · There are approximately 7 Billion IoT devices in use today, and with the introduction of 5G making it far easier for sensors and remote devices to quickly send data to the organization, this number is expected to grow to over 25 Billion by 2030. So, what should we expect to see in the coming years from IoT? In this podcast, we'll talk with Larry Socher, SVP of Strategy and Alliances at Eseye about where we are with IoT and what's to come!
