My MSP Was Hacked - Should I Fire Them?

Should you fire your MSP?!? 🔥🔥🔥

In this episode, I speak with cybersecurity attorney Sarah Anderson about how to evaluate IT Managed Service Providers and how businesses can protect themselves when relying on them.

Here are some of the highlights:

How you should evaluate MSPs
What to do after your MSP is hacked
Managing the cyber incident
Cyber insurance pitfalls
Should you fire your hacked MSP?

Sarah is the owner of SWA Law LLC and also serves in U.S. Army Reserves as a Lieutenant Colonel.

She has been involved in more than 100 cyber incident responses throughout her career and also represents public and private entities in regulatory compliance, cybersecurity practices, and technology contract negotiations.

If you are relying on an MSP to manage your IT and security, you won’t want to miss this!

As Sarah said, not all MSPs are created equally. Many MSPs have such poor security practices they WILL get you hacked.

Encourage your MSP to join MSPCyberX! It's a nonprofit focused on elevating the security of MSPs: https://www.mspcyberx.com/
