From the IDF to international MSP defense, David Chernitzky lives cybersecurity like it’s a martial art. 🥋 In this episode from IT Nation Secure 2025, Joey Pinz welcomes the founder of Armor Cyber Security for a powerful, personal, and practical conversation on modern threats, true partnership, and staying mission-ready.

🎯 With roots in Israel’s elite intelligence units and a deep passion for Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate, David shares how combat training and cyber defense intersect. He explains why MSPs can’t just “buy tools”—they need people, planning, and true capability. Armor bridges that gap with expert resources on demand: pen testing, posture assessments, and incident simulations—all white-labeled and built for small business support.

🌍 David also talks about global team building, his dramatic weight loss journey, and why consistency—not just firepower—is what makes greatness. Whether you're an MSP leader or just curious about where cybersecurity is going, this episode delivers straight talk, hard truths, and unexpected wisdom.

🔥 Top 3 Highlights:

1. ⚒️ Why MSPs need more than tools—they need trained cyber backup
2. 💡 How martial arts and military lessons shaped David’s leadership philosophy
3. 🎓 Why success means giving back through cyber education
