October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of online safety and security. Cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and frequent, targeting individuals, businesses, and governments alike. A strong cybersecurity posture can help prevent disruptions and financial losses caused by cyber incidents.<\/p>\n
This month the Head Nerd Team brings you several new security focused Boot Camps.<\/p>\n

By the end of this Boot Camp, you\u2019ll be equipped to enhance the security posture of your N central server, helping to ensure that your IT infrastructure remains resilient in the face of ever-increasing threats.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n In this webinar, we will go over how to best set up N sight RMM’s dashboard access in today’s security-conscious environments. We will touch on controlling user permissions, log-in restrictions, notifying end users you are performing work, agent protection, and some general best practices to ensure that your dashboard is as protected as possible.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n Building a cybersecurity business is an intricate process, but amidst the complexity, there are several fundamentals that every MSP should being adhering to and incorporating into their operations. In this Boot Camp, we will be reviewing three notable court cases taking place in the USA now, where MSPs are being blamed by their respective clients for failing to properly protect them from cyberattacks that resulted in data breaches. The goal in examining these court cases is to highlight ten key lessons MSPs can learn from them to help build a better cybersecurity practice, protect themselves, and avoid becoming the next big headline.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n Ensuring robust data protection is a critical service provided by MSPs and a key element of your cybersecurity stack. But if configured and managed improperly, you run the risk of having your last line of defense compromised. In this N able Boot Camp, we will be reviewing several of the common missteps that MSPs make when managing backups and look at how Cove Data Protection can better ensure system recoverability when all else has failed.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n Security is the top growth opportunity for MSPs today, so what are you doing to capture that market? Please join Head Sales and Marketing Nerd Stefanie Hammond for an informative and educational three-part training series focused on how to build, price, and sell security programs. Part One of this three-part boot camp series will focus on two key concepts; understanding the new philosophy around program design\u2014one that is more security-centric and focused on risk mitigation AND how to structure and package an enhanced suite of security services by reviewing the N able sample Security Services Program Framework.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n Cyber liability insurance can be an intimidating subject. Many SMBs may be confused by and resistant to the need for adding yet another form of insurance coverage. For MSPs there can be anxiety and apprehension to be experienced when first investigating cyber liability insurance that comes from having to assess your current cyber security posture and if you are able to deliver on the litany of security controls, processes, and documentation that are required when applying for cyber liability insurance. This Boot Camp will better prepare MSPs to begin exploring cyber liability insurance for themselves and their clients.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n In Part Two of this boot camp series, Head Sales and Marketing Nerd Stefanie Hammond will answer the question: \u201cNow that your programs are built, and you know what features you are going to include in your packages, how much should you charge each month for your services?\u201d<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n Both internal and external forces are driving wider adoption of and increased scrutiny around cyber liability insurance. But once you and your clients have a policy in place, that isn\u2019t the end of the challenges. You\u2019ll need to be prepared for what happens when a claim needs to be filed. Do your clients know to whom they must report a data breach? Can you provide the necessary documentation and reports to prove proper security controls were in place? If you\u2019ve never had to file a cyber liability insurance claim, it pays to be prepared for what\u2019s going to be asked of you and your client during the process. Join us for this session to get a better understanding of what your responsibilities will be before, during, and after a claim is filed.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n In this final boot camp of the series, join Head Sales and Marketing Nerd Stefanie Hammond as she discusses strategies around how to take your new programs to market and successfully sell them to your customers and prospects.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n Go beyond cybersecurity basics and learn more about the advanced techniques used by professional cyber defenders, such as honeypots, intrusion detection, and other security controls that have not traditionally been a part of the MSP\u2019s toolkit. Together, we\u2019ll explore their potential to fortify your cybersecurity defenses, including how to leverage N sight or N central to implement your own honeypots, helping divert threat actors away from critical infrastructure and into decoy systems before they can cause damage.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n In addition to our Boot Camp series, the Head Nerds host drop-in\u00a0Office Hours<\/a>\u00a0where you can participate in discussions with them.
