Gary and Rick discuss the increasing importance of cybersecurity compliance and the role of managed service providers (MSPs) in addressing this need. Gary highlighted the advantages of MSPs as a staff augmentation solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), which often lack the resources and expertise to handle cybersecurity in-house. Rick noted the trend of security talent moving to MSPs for access to the latest tools and technologies. They also discussed the continuous threat and exposure management challenges faced by SMBs, emphasizing the need for integrated tools to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Trenelle shares her insights on the importance of a robust cyber security strategy. Trenelle
emphasizes the significance of understanding where important data is stored, conducting
regular assessments, and maintaining ongoing monitoring and awareness of potential threats. She also expresses enthusiasm for the emerging trend of extended detection and
response (XDR), which combines assessment with ongoing monitoring to provide a
comprehensive view of cyber security risks. As the workforce evolves, cybersecurity strategies should adapt to meet new challenges.

Garret shares his insights on the importance of identity management and authentication in
cybersecurity. Garret emphasizes that while authentication is necessary, it is not sufficient
to ensure the identity of a user. He pointed out that identities can be stolen or bypassed
through various methods, and the real challenge lies in managing user privileges and
keeping track of their activities in real-time. Identity governance should be a robust component of any cybersecurity stack. Garret defines governance in the context of identity management.
