EP095 – Getting Serious About Cyber Resilience with Greg Jones & Ian Luckett

<div style="font-weight: 400;"> <p><span data-contrast="auto">We skip the formal introductions and go straight to business talking about cyber resilience. I express that when the pandemic happened there have been lots of cyber-attacks and I ask Greg what he thinks about the threat landscape of the whole cyber resilience thing. We both discuss the severity of it and whether or not MSPs should take it seriously.</span></p> </div> <div style="font-weight: 400;"> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Personally, Greg thinks that MSPs are aware of the threat, but are just confused about how to take the first step in their cyber resilience journey. It is also a daunting thing that even Datto, a big organisation in the channel, is also daunted by it.</span><span data-ccp-props= "{"201341983":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> </div> <div style="font-weight: 400;"> <p><span data-contrast="auto">We then talked about Greg’s step-by-step tips on how MSPs start with cyber resiliency. Greg says that the first tip he can give is to not rush in buying technology to try and just address cyber resiliency. Planning and conducting a review is an important first step.</span><span data-ccp-props= "{"201341983":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> </div> <div style="font-weight: 400;"> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Start with your people, then with your processes. Look at the gaps and then take care of the technology.</span><span data-ccp-props= "{"201341983":0,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> </div> <div style="font-weight: 400;"> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Then we continued to tackle getting the right messaging of cyber resilience to two different types of avatars, the people who want it because they are aware of the risks that are there, and the people who are aware but not enough to care because it has never happened to them. Greg then talks about the different options on how to position the messaging to the different set avatars. Some of the options that Greg mentions and explains are using the fear factor and training and education.</span><s
