Episode 3: The Most Common Threats Faced by SMBs  

It’s easy to think that small- and medium-sized businesses aren’t targets for cyber attacks, but the reality is just the opposite. They are often targets because threat actors know they have limited security ability. Even when they aren’t specifically targeted, SMBs are often also collateral damage in more targeted attacks. That’s why the MSPs that protect SMBs are so important. In this fireside chat, SonicWall experts discuss the common threats faced by SMBs and how MSPs can prepare to defend their clients.  

Episode 4: The Impact of Migrating to the Cloud  

A computer isn’t just a computer anymore. Most businesses now depend on apps and services in the cloud to function, which means employees are logging in to more than just their endpoints every day. But with these apps comes security challenges: how do you protect the crucial business data that now lives in the cloud? In this informative webinar, we’ll discuss how the cloud has become an extension of your attack surface, and how to think about securing it.  

Episode 5: Tales From the Crypt  

Malware and infostealers and phishing, oh my! It’s easy to feel like cyber threats are scary monsters looming in cyberspace. As an MSP, how can you both protect your business and your customers from being haunted by cyber threats? Having a 24/7 security operations center is a great way to keep these spooky threats at bay. Join us where we share real life examples of threats the SonicWall SOC has defended our partners against!  

Episode 6: I Am or I Support an SMB. Why Do I Need a SOC?  

It’s easy to think that small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs) aren’t of interest to hackers and cyber criminals. The reality is just the opposite: because often SMBs don’t have a cybersecurity plan, they can become more attractive targets, and as more and more business is conducted on line, the chance of an SMB being collateral damage in a larger attack also increases. Even worse, 60% of SMBs that are victims of a cyber-attack go out of business within six months. Tune in to learn how SMBs and the MSPs who support them can benefit from a Security Operations Center to better defend against cyber threats.
