2:55 – Karla shares her background and how she got involved with the MSP Marketplace. She made a shout-out to Mark of Appgate saying he is the person who opened the MSP door for her and introduced her to a variety of people, events, and other activities.

7:47 – Brian appreciates Karla's observation. Brian also emphasizes that the MSP market is starting to realize the importance of security. He also poses a question about Third-Party Risk and the matrix to be shared with the customer.

15:16 – Karla states that she was amazed to be able to watch teams go from one head of information security who couldn't obtain a budget to teams of 10 to 20 or more.
