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.

If there’s one thing channel pros serious about growth have in common, its killer penguin investigations. At least we think that’s what they’re all tracking on their dashboards. Maybe Ken Pecot, COO of The 20, can set us all straight on that.

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.

Erick and Rich ponder the strategic significance of Cytracom buying OmniNet, the importance of not customizing your managed service bundles, and the logic behind a newly developed technique for potty-training cows.

The ChannelPro SMB Forum New England gathered MSPs, IT consultants, VARs, and integrators to discuss business strategies and technology trends for a changing workplace.

On the road again—and loving it—in the Lone Star State, ChannelPro’s Joel Zaidspiner checks in with AnswerConnect, CyberGuard360, and MSP360.

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.
