Will 2025 be the year of natural selection for MSPs? I sit down with Matt Lee of Pax8 to chat about the cybersecurity picture for 2025 and it comes down to those that choose to make changes in their company to mature their cybersecurity posture and those that do not... Those that do not are the MSPs that use excuses like, I'm to small, We don't have time, Our clients won't pay, etc. Stay until the end to catch some of the foreshadowing of future fireside chats in 2025.

Actual compliance challenges in 2025 are heating up with clients now asking for evidence and proof on how their MSP is helping them meet certain safeguards for regulatory requirements and insurance.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff McCullough and Brad Reinboldt of NetAlly to find out what is new. Having spent many years with my trusty Link Sprinter, I was keen to hear what evolutions of products and services they might offer to help MSPs and MSSPs in troubleshooting networks, scanning for vulnerabilities, mapping to common frameworks, and documenting and tracking their findings are part of the new reality. I truly enjoyed the discussion around what it is that NetAlly does today and how far they have come over their 30-year journey.

Last week, we discussed the highs and lows of 2024. This week, we will examine what we expect or predict to see in 2025 and how it might impact us. Thanks again to Joshua Smith of Reliaquest and Charles Love of ShowTech Solutions for joining me and discussing the future and what is in store.

Every year, we reflect on the good and the bad. What might give us pause as we get ready for the new year?

With FFIEC retiring the CAT assessment in August 2025, it might seem daunting to consider other frameworks as a path forward. I sat down with Dan Sitton of Guardian Technology Group to discuss his background in working with banks and some suggestions for the future.

The Last Control Domain discussed on the fireside chat is Physical and Environmental Security. This domain was taken directly from the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark, and while it wasn't done in sequence like the majority of the domains, it is not a result of it being overlooked. However, many MSPs often fail to give much attention to it. Join Matt Lee and me as we walk through the 16 safeguards.
