Combine two flavors of ice cream in one cone, and you get a delicious treat. Combine two RMM systems into one and you get…well, that depends, doesn’t it?

You’ve got to pity those poor accountants. Bad enough they’ve got all those tax returns to complete this time of year. Now they’re getting the cold shoulder from channel pros too.

Erick and Rich explore Cytracom’s bold move into secure networking, explain why watching Google for local ransomware stories can help MSPs land new business, and question why anyone would want to take their house plants with them on vacation.

Channel pros seeking to deal with growing threats to their customers’ VoIP systems should examine providers’ networks, service-level agreements, and incident response plans.

Bring your own…pitchfork? Poodle? Pompadour? You’ll just have to listen to this week’s show to find out. Luckily for you, you’ll also hear Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Rory Sanchez, of True Digital Security, discuss the new stand-alone small business edition of Microsoft Teams, Poly’s desk phone trade-in program, research from Auvik revealing the future of SMB networking, and evidence from Sophos and Trend Micro that security vendors are all-in on cloud.

Security takes multiple layers, even when the threat you’re securing against is walking, dead, and hungry for brains. Take it from MSP and security pro Charles Henson, of Nashville Computer, who joins Matt and Rich this week to discuss Datto’s SaaS Defense product, MSP360’s flat-rate Amazon S3 backup storage, takeaways from the recent Bandwidth.com DDoS incident, and how to profit from helping businesses complete security questionnaires.

Erick and Rich sift through the implications of this week’s VoIP DDoS attack, explain the one situation when you should never present a sales proposal, and consider hiring a German hamster to manage their investments.

SASE solutions are selling like hotcakes these days, but the reason why may surprise you. Let Matt, Rich, and guest host Angela Hogaboom, director of assessment services at managed security provider RSI, explain it to you, along with the story behind Datto shipping an Azure Continuity solution, Cytracom buying OmniNet, and Barracuda making three (count ’em) announcements in one busy day.
