MSPs: Listen up! 👇 These are the questions your clients are wondering about. Are you prepared to answer them meaningfully? From a Business owner friend of mine: "[redacted] is touting that they have received a SOC-2 Type-I report for [redacted]. As a practical matter, do you view these credentials as meaningful? I know they provide some level of comfort beyond 'trust us' on data security, but I have never dug into whether they are particularly notable." • Are you ready to answer these types of questions? • And are you getting PAID to answer them? This is where your vCISO service provides huge value. But you have to have a vCISO service. And it has to have time built in for these meaningful conversations. Otherwise you're: • Throwing money away, or worse... • Giving bare minimum effort and souring the relationship I've been doing this for decades, and I've developed the systems and methodologies for delivering vCISO at scale. And I'm ready to use them to help you absolutely crush your revenue goals. So, whether you're looking to add that next million in ARR with vCISO, or simply recapture it from the clutches of inefficiency... Drop a comment or a DM with the word "Meaningful" and get your journey to the next revenue level started.

By automating a bulk of infosec / rfp work, Tribble is one of the most useful applications of LLMs I've experienced. Great quote from Maksim Kogan on how it's been valuable to Finout while growing enterprise sales very quickly: https://lnkd.in/gw77t_wD Kudos Ray and Sunil!

When disasters happen, don't leave your I.T. manager without a lifeline. ☎️ Relying on one person for your I.T. needs might seem like a great way to save resources. But when urgency takes priority- like with data breaches or security issues- lack of scalability can take an enormous toll on your employees, customer relationships, and reputation.  We optimize our backup and disaster recovery services for business continuity, using virtualized cloud systems and end-to-end encryption to keep your data intact. That means less downtime for your business, and more time for you to focus on driving it forward. With clear communication, regular consulting, and robust recovery plans, your I.T. manager will always have support when they need it most. 🤝 Visit our website to learn more about our backup and disaster recovery services.

Put some thoughts together on how to think about ACME and SPIFFE. The TL;DR is: ACME is about proving control of an identifier, while SPIFFE is about assigning and managing identifiers dynamically to enable the authorization of the subjects of those identifiers.

We’re captivated by the Paris Olympics, just like so many of you! And, just like in the Olympics, our scorecards can be graded gold 🥇silver 🥈 and bronze 🥉 These scorecards help you determine whether entities in your software catalog meet your defined standards (eg. production readiness, costs, security, etc) While striving for gold is the goal, the key is having visibility and tracking progress 📈 This way, you can identify what steps are needed to reach the gold standard!🎯

Great summary on the different roles ACME and SPIFFE play. From the article: "Use ACME for managing certificates in static environments to ensure efficient lifecycle management. Deploy SPIFFE for dynamic environments to provide strong, attested identities for your workloads" - Ryan Hurst

Justin Fanelli shares many points in this short profile which speak to me as a former CIO - "Optimizing operations through accelerated innovation adoption, including divestments. The Navy’s Information Superiority Vision (ISV) 2.0 introduces a focus on Optimization. This means not only transforming naval capabilities but also cutting out redundant efforts to get mission-critical solutions to the Warfighter faster." This stresses - a swift but measured approach to evaluation of emerging technologies, continual tech refresh with an aim to eliminate redundancy and reduce tech debt. It's not possible to eliminate - as soon as a capability is live, it starts accruing debt, sadly. He continues; "A unity of effort and intention is not only incentivized but indispensable when driving towards a unified Naval Information Environment." This speaks to having a good foundational Enterprise Architecture, unifying IT and OT (e.g. https://lnkd.in/ghTirN3N), as well as the essential nature of shared communications. All these thoughts and more followed a quick read of a short feature! To back up the fact that maybe I read it too fast, I was wondering why Justin's career advice included becoming a ventriloquist. It actually said "versatilist". Although if there were more ventriloquists in our work lives that would be pretty fun too.
