Tabletop exercises or simulations can be daunting and scary. Join me as I sit down with Sarah O'Kelley from Choice Cyber Solutions as we discuss some tips and tricks to success with your first Tabletop.

If you are familiar with CIS v8 Top 18 then you might be comfortable talking about Security Awareness and Skills Training. I sit down with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group to talk about the Why and the Proof that ever solution provider should be considering in their own traning.

We are on Control 12 in our Fireside chat with Matt Lee and are digging into a control with only one IG1 safeguard and only one IG3 safeguard. Network Infrastructure comes with some rabbit holes and tangents, but I think you will find that this control is essential to most MSPs.

As an MSP, many decisions go into taking on a new client or getting rid of an existing one. I sit down with Charles Love of Showtech Solutions to discuss when the decisions are tied to cybersecurity and where one should consider drawing a line in the sand.

What does it look like to have an employee request approval for a specific tool? Do you have an evaluation process?

When a vendor fills a gap in cyber, they deserve to be heard. I sat down with Nick Wolf of Cork to discuss the cyber insurance industry and the space they fill. I'd say Cork is to cyber insurance like Aflac is to Medical insurance.

Storage costs are relatively cheap compared to the cost of storage, but one might say that data recovery is where most MSPs have been very successful. Years back, we were challenged with costs around storage and destination fees costs, so we had to be selective about what we backed up. In today's world, the cost of storage is relatively cheap in comparison, but so many new variables complicate this process. Listen to Matt Lee of Pax8 as we dive deep into CIS Control 11 Data Recovery and explore all five safeguards.

Data protection is tough when you don't know where your data is or who might have access to it.

Stick around for the four tips to follow on your own journey to protect your data.

How many buzzwords do we have in the MSP world? MSP, MSSP, Web 2.0, AI? At any rate, we now have AI as a buzzword to deal with. Kidding AI is a lot more than a buzzword. Join me as I discuss AI and the risks of AI with Jim Harryman of Kinetic Technology Group.

How we manage our time for a work life balance plays a role in how we work in both in our strategic and tactical workflow. I sit down with Jason Slagle of CNRW to discuss how important keeping track of what we do in a planner or in our PSA or other tools is critical when things happen. Evidence is hard to come by after the fact.
