Let’s pack the house on this one. If you’ve not heard Robert Cioffi speak, this is mandatory. It’s that important. If you have heard Robert, come again. Two huge reasons: 1. There’s some new updates you should hear. I won’t spoil them. But it’s big. 2. You’re going to learn something new. Every time I hear Robert speak, I learn something new.

On July 2, 2021 a cyber attack was launched on an International scale. A 0-day exploit in our RMM tool allowed Threat Actors to do the unthinkable. Dubbed the proverbial "Nightmare Scenario", come listen to 1 MSP who not only survived, but thrived in spite of a near business ending event. 🔊 Listen to a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological trauma. 🔥Follow along as you imagine your own footsteps on the path through hell. Imagine yourself in a very real and fatal situation. 👀 🤔 Consider how well you are - or are not - prepared. Have you already heard the story? 👉 Come listen again as I've got new updates including the capture, extradition, and sentencing of one of our attackers. Spread the news. 📰 This is THE 1 event NOT to be missed. This is NOT about me or my company. This is about US - the MSP community - each and every one of us. Why do I tell our story? This industry needs great Vulnerability and Transparency. IMO, it's the only path toward victory against our enemies.

This is a talk every #MSP should see. On July 2, 2021, my phone rang off the hook (and continued to do so for 3 days). There were #ConnectWise MSPs from around the globe that beat a path to our doorstep. They saw the Kaseya VSA disaster unfolding and were scared themselves. At Automation Theory, we sell reverse proxy and WAF services for MSP tools. This technology allows for additional security controls and offers protection against 0-day exploits. I can't speak for Robert, but I'm guessing he'll give you advice on how to prepare for and prevent situations like this. I don't know if security technology will come up, but the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" probably still applies. Go to this talk, and get yourself a healthy dose of reality. Once you're ready to take action, come talk to us, and we can go over the technology you can put in place to defend against your worst nightmare.

Many will have seen the news about sustained cyber attacks on the UK and our democracy. I attended an insightful talk by Sophos earlier this week, which suggested that attacks were splitting into two types: One where attackers get in and out quickly, with #dwelltime decreasing to days, if not hours (previously weeks). And the other where dwell time was deliberately increasing to quarters and years (previously months). This is an example of the latter where a sophisticated attacker has thrown significant resources at hacking particularly targets with a specific objective in mind. The tools we need to deal with each type of attack may be different but the concepts are the same; understand your operations, networks and risks; defend in depth; continually monitor, plan your resilience. Edit: I was asked about the picture... this was from many years ago but I chose it to represent the two different dwell times, UK democracy under threat and also resilience. Hope you like it. And don't worry, the clocks are fine at the moment.

It’s become a jungle out there in the cyber security industry of late. Those who claim to have all the answers to our cyber woes often prey on the sensitivities of the ill-informed (or of those who are just plain scared). But the nature of the cyber security challenge is so multi-faceted, and so fast-moving, that NO-ONE has all the answers. This is where I’d usually guide the narrative towards the importance of a risk-based approach, but today my point is even more fundamental…. It sometimes takes a leap of faith, but we can only really succeed as a profession if we learn to TRUST in those who complement our own perspectives and capabilities, and if we embrace the power of PARTNERSHIP - as individuals, as organisations and even as nations. At #CIISECLIVE23 last week my colleague Simon Moore facilitated a great session with Ollie W. of the National Cyber Security Centre and Joe Hancock from Mishcon de Reya LLP . The subject? The power of partnership. #trust #partnershipsmatter #cyberrisk
