Welcome to the first episode of the MSP Security Playbook, brought to you by Heimdal Security — the unified, AI-powered cybersecurity solutions provider. 

This show is designed to help managed service providers (MSPs) cut through the noise, streamline operations, and grow more profitable security businesses.

In this episode, host Jacob Hazelbaker sits down with none other than Nigel Moore, founder of The Tech Tribe, to discuss the evolving role of MSPs in a rapidly transforming digital world. With over 20 years of experience, Nigel shares hard-won insights into the challenges and opportunities MSPs face today—from shifting beyond break-fix to strategic advisory, to leveraging AI, to developing the soft skills that matter most.
