If you thought your customers have bigger threats to worry about these days than ladders, you’ll be thinking again by the end of this episode featuring Matt, Rich, and their returning guest host, certified ethical hacker and MSP Michael Cocanower. You’ll also hear their thoughts about the latest revisions to Dell’s partner program, the new security executives at ConnectWise and NinjaOne, the latest developments in ransomware as a service, and the latest headaches associated with cyber insurance.

Mike Arrowsmith, whose role combines the traditional duties of a chief information security officer, a chief privacy officer, and a chief risk officer, is now responsible for the security of NinjaOne’s products and the integrity of data within those systems.

Under a revamped organizational structure, four general managers responsible for key portions of ConnectWise’s portfolio report in to CEO Jason Magee (pictured). Patrick Beggs, meanwhile, steps in to lead security operations for the company.

Other changes to the Dell Technologies Partner Program unveiled today by Global Channel Chief Rola Dagher (pictured) include extra incentives for sales of midrange storage gear, servers, monitors, and client peripherals.

Don’t worry. If you haven’t collected enough box tops to get the coveted ChannelPro Weekly secret decoder ring, you’ll still enjoy this week’s episode, in which Matt and Rich are joined by returning guest host Corey Kirkendoll, of 5K Technical Services. The three of them discuss LogMeIn becoming GoTo and making a push into the channel, Unitrends launching its first small office BDR appliances, and the secrets to picking an MSSP.

The latest expansion of the distributor’s “hyper automation” practice, the Alkymi product helps businesses automate the time-consuming process of extracting useful information from documents, emails, PDF files, and other unstructured sources.

Users of the billing reconciliation tool can now download unlimited copies of usage data from makers of consumption-based solutions at no charge.

Now named GoTo, the company has ambitious plans to market a simplified portfolio of integrated remote management and unified communications solutions through a dramatically expanded set of partners, including MSPs.

Introduced alongside a new cybersecurity education partner program, the new ION and ION+ appliance families are designed to pack the same features found in Recovery Series and Recovery Series MAX products into quieter, more compact form factors.

The innovative European company serves more than 7,000 partners with leading-edge solutions enabling security, agility and manageability in hybrid IT and unified communications.
