This episode of the Beyond the Horizon podcast takes a deep dive into how MSPs can embrace secure-by-default practices to enhance client protection, streamline operations, and meet evolving security standards.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The difference between “secure by design” and “secure by default” and how MSPs can benefit from both.
  • How secure-by-default features help MSPs protect clients without complex configurations.
  • Why secure-by-default settings improve resilience and operational efficiency for MSPs.
  • Practical steps MSPs can take to move customers toward a secure-by-default architecture.
  • How to communicate the value of secure-by-default solutions to clients.

In today’s episode, Pete Roythorne hosts N‑able’s Chief Security Officer, Dave MacKinnon, and VP of Security Products, Jim Waggoner, to discuss the next step for MSPs: a secure-by-default approach to software security. Dave and Jim clarify the difference between secure-by-design and secure-by-default, noting how MSPs are pivoting from security as a buzzword to security as a business resilience strategy. They also cover the challenges vendors face in making their products secure by default and why transparency and simplicity are essential for building and maintaining trust.

Through examples and real-life scenarios, Jim and Dave outline how MSPs can use security to their advantage, ensuring consistency in their operations and client offerings. They stress the importance of educating customers on the why behind security features, highlighting that this approach not only strengthens client relationships but also reinforces the MSP’s role as a trusted partner. Wrapping up, they share their outlook on the future of security, including transparency and community-driven solutions that can help MSPs stay one step ahead in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
