Get ready for a sucker punch of IT news, views, and insights. Joined by guest host Vince Tinnirello, of Anchor Network Solutions, Matt and Rich chew over IT Glue buying TruMethods, Pax8 buying Sea-Level Operations, Sophos entering the XDR market, and Cytracom adding team texting to its UCaaS solution. Then your hosts catch up with Darren Gottesmann of Ingram Micro for a look at the crazy year behind us and the “golden age” we may be entering now.

Industry-specific solutions leveraging Internet of Things technology are solving pain points and increasing efficiency and safety.

The new product, unveiled alongside a cross-vendor security framework, combines data from multiple Sophos and third-party systems to identify and block sophisticated attacks that any one of those platforms might miss on its own.

Hungry for IT insights? Good, because Matt, Rich, and guest host Ro Kolakowski, founder of 6th Street Consulting, have a heaping helping for you on this episode, spanning from D&H’s new esports and gaming business unit to Intel’s outlook on the year ahead, BitTitan’s emerging “data synchronization as a service” plans, and the characteristics that make great MSPs great, according to Service Leadership’s Paul Dippell.

CDN Technologies has a three-pronged approach to safety: protecting clients, employees, and the MSP business.

Actually, SCSI is an interface. Not sure who this bear is. Neither are Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Dave Seibert of managed service provider IT Innovators and the SMB TechFest event series. They do, however, have plenty to say about the change of channel chief at Microsoft, the latest firewalls from Sophos, the pending SYNNEX/Tech Data merger, and work-from-home security stacks.

The vendor’s new XGS Series appliances contain a secondary processor that frees up capacity on the core CPU, enabling the devices to check encrypted traffic for hidden malware at dramatically faster speeds.

While there’s no one perfect recipe for protecting remote employees, channel pros have learned a lot in the last year about what works best.

The pandemic-spurred triple threat of increased demand, decreased access, and mandatory distancing put digital transformation into overdrive.

Part of a firmware update that includes functionality for work-from-home users, the new option lets companies administer devices from the popular USG line via the same interface they use to manage Nebula-compatible access points and switches for the first time.
