Check in with the latest from BLOKWORX, Hornetsecurity, SuperOps.ai, and TwoRivers ITAD Solutions in this series of interviews from the latest meeting of managed services coop The 20.

Feel free to tackle only simple challenges, channel pros. Just don’t expect to make much at it. Take it from this week’s guest host, podcaster and industry analyst Dave Sobel, it’s the hard stuff that produces big money. Dave, Matt, and Rich have plenty to say about that topic, as well as the news from Acronis’s CyberFit Summit, and Dave has a few thoughts to share about Kaseya’s efforts to harden its software against future breaches too.

Live together from sunny Miami, Erick and Rich discuss the strategic implications of the Acronis Cyber Network, the challenges of preserving office culture in a work-from-anywhere organization, and the misadventures of what may be the world’s stupidest hiker.

Everyone else is working from home these days. Why not The King? You know who’s not working from home this week? Rich Freeman. He’s in Las Vegas for Kaseya’s ConnectIT conference and has plenty of news from Kaseya to share. He and Matt also discuss HP’s big new collaboration and conferencing portfolio as well as the challenges and pleasures of running a tech business with your spouse.

Side by side for the first time since COVID, Erick and Rich discuss Kaseya’s take on its RMM breach, trueing up your managed services clients, and a woman who went to sleep alone and woke up next to a meteorite.

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 discuss the significance of Microsoft launching Windows 11 in the same week VMware updated its cloud platform, urge you to raise prices in January, and salute an industrious squirrel who borrowed a pickup truck to store walnuts.

From high above the Hudson River, in N.J., Joel Zaidspiner checks in with Armor, CrushBank, Mindmatrix, and Richardson & Richardson at IT By Design’s recent Build IT Live conference.

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.
