All Things MSP

In this episode of All Things MSP, hosts Justin Esgar and Eric Anthony dive deep into the cybersecurity challenges MSPs face and reveal how teaming up with specialized cybersecurity experts can bolster security for clients and the MSP itself. With guests Adam Bennett, CEO of Crosshair Cyber, and Eric Weast, Owner of ECW Network & IT Solutions, the discussion highlights the critical need for MSPs to strengthen their own security practices to better serve clients.

Adam and Eric outline common security pitfalls, from unpatched software vulnerabilities to ineffective internal protocols that can leave MSPs exposed. They discuss the importance of regular penetration testing, vulnerability management, and the benefits of compliance certifications like the Cybersecurity Trustmark. Adam shares how Crosshair Cyber’s "assumed breach" approach helps MSPs identify and resolve potential internal threats, safeguarding sensitive data against insider risks and advanced cyberattacks.

Tune in to learn how MSPs can move beyond standard measures, tackle their cybersecurity blind spots, and demonstrate value through heightened security to build trust with every client.
