If you love ice cream as much as we love ice cream it won't surprise you that ice cream loves ice cream too. Please don't waste any time making sense of that sentence, though, because there's too much good stuff in this episode, in which Rich (flying solo while Matt's on vacation) and returning guest host Eric Long, of Teracloud, examine a new product bundle from N-able for early growth MSPs, new data on cloud security and PC sales, and best practices for conducting employee performance reviews.
Then they're joined by Jon Murchison, CEO of MDR vendor BlackPoint Cyber, to discuss a scary recent incident in which attackers turned everyday IT management systems into nearly undetectable ransomware delivery tools. Not as sweet as ice cream, but no MSP should miss it.
