1.) MSP Question of the week: How can you hold your team accountable?
Business coaches are being hired all across the country due to a lack of accountability. Instead, James and Amy share some insightful areas to strengthen your accountability with your team:
Set goals with your team on a set cadence either daily or weekly Create expectations in writing with your team. Utilizing meetings, such as a daily huddle, can be a great opportunity to do a checkin with the team and leadership. Enhanced communication is effective accountability. Accountability is not conflict, instead, accountability is effective communication. Train your employees. Without proper training, it is difficult to hold employees accountable.---

Host Karl Palachuk caught up with Dor Eisner, CEO of Guardz. Right off the bat, Eisner points out the reason enterprise cybersecurity attacks are different from those focused on small business. Like it or not, most of the attacks that work against SMB clients will not work against larger enterprises.
Eisner discusses the toolsets that are built specifically to attack small businesses, and marketed that way on the dark web. Assuming you don't want to spend time browsing the dark web, it's good to have a partner who is willing to.
Guardz is focused completely on securing small businesses, and helping them to secure their networks in a way that helps them lower their insurance premiums. Think about what that means for your clients: A dashboard that benchmarks a network against the requirements and checklists used by cybersecurity insurance companies to set rates.
A secure network AND lower insurance rates: That's a great combination!
You can connect with Guardz at: https://guardz.com
Request a Guardz Demo at https://guardz.com/schedule-a-meeting/
Karl asked about pricing and was pleased to find a very transparent, friendly pricing structure. Dor gives the pricing in the podcast, and it's posted clearly on the web site. In addition, you are not locked into longterm, inflexible contracts. Scale up and down as you need.
Also check out the free internal-use licensing for MSPs. Learn it. Use it. And integrate Guardz into your solution.
You get your free demo, free license, and some great sales tools at https://guardz.com. Check out the full podcast to hear Dor's advice on sales techniques and the response options for various clients and attack alerts.
Connect with Guardz on social media at:

Dor Eisner is the CEO and Co-Founder of Guardz, working to create a safer digital world for SMBs. Dor has over 20 years of experience in the field of cybersecurity. Prior to founding Guardz, Dor worked at IntSights, a Rapid7 company, as their VP of Business Development, as well as at Alarum Technologies as Director of Sales.
Dor began his career in cybersecurity in the Israeli Defense Forceâs 8200 Unit as Cyber Security Team Lead.

Guardzâs cost-effective pricing reduces cybersecurity expenses by up to 75% compared to traditional solutions, making it accessible for businesses with lean IT teams. The platform also supports MSPs through the MSP Growth Hub, offering tools for business development, including ROI reports and AI-powered risk assessments.

Host Karl got together with Jamie Levy, Director of Adversary Tactics from Huntress.
Jamie is also a longtime researcher, developer and board member of the Volatility Foundation. She has worked over 15 years in the digital forensics industry, conducting investigations as well as building out software solutions.
We got together to discuss the Huntress 2024 Threat Report. Download here:
https://www.huntress.com/resources/2024-cyber-threat-report?utm_campaign=CY24-Q2-Threat-Report&utm_source=smb-community-podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=August-2024-threat-reportJamie walks us through some of the major trends, including important "take-downs" and ransomware trends. One interesting finds is that squishing down one threat leaves room for other threats to increase.
Her analogy to apex predators in the animal world is excellent.
Karl's favorite quote from this interview (though scary): "The smaller businesses are the testbed" for malware writers. Why have a test network when you can use live machines as your testbed? If feels like we knew that. Now we know it for sure.
Thanks to Huntress for their excellent 2024 Threat Report.
Check out the full report while you listen.
MSPs: Huntress has a great NFR program for professional consultants.
Here's a link to their not-for-resale program for MSPs - Neighborhood Watch. This gives MSPs access to Huntress products for internal use to to level up their own protection -- whether they are a partner or not!
