In this episode of the Security Squawk podcast, we delve into the fresh and alarming cybersecurity headlines that have rocked the past week, courtesy of the intel from ID Agent's breach news. We're diving into an array of breaches this week, including Dunkin Donuts' massive data breach affecting millions, the alarming attack on Nintendo Switch users, and the continued saga of LinkedIn phishing attacks. But it's not all about recounting the incidents. Our mission is to equip you with insights, diving deep into these real-world cyberattacks to help you understand their impact, their mechanisms, and most importantly, how they could have been prevented. In this episode, we'll unmask the details of these attacks - their origins, the victims, and the implications. Beyond the headlines, we're here to provide you with a clear picture of the evolving threat landscape and practical strategies to fortify your defenses. With our light-hearted yet insightful discussions, we're making cybersecurity a subject everyone can understand and implement, from business leaders to anyone keen on digital safety. Tune into this episode of Security Squawk, as we translate cyber threats into knowledge for safeguarding your business. Join the conversation - be informed, and stay secure.

Matt Solomon has worked in sales & business development for 16+ years. He had the unique experience of working with a start-up company (ID Agent) and helped it grow from 0 to 2,000 partners in a two-year period through acquisition, then later to 4,000+ partners, making it one of the fastest-growing companies in decades within the channel. Matt has spoken at more than 150 industry events in six countries and received 40 awards in recognition. Post-acquisition, he took on the role of Channel Chief at Kaseya. After 2.5 years, Matt started a consulting company, Channel Halo, working with vendors and MSPs on their go-to-market strategies. After having many of the same conversations, Matt and his former CEO Kevin Lancaster decided to team up again and launch Channel Program. Channel Program is a platform designed to bring together the most innovative technologies in front of Channel Partners (MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, IT Services Providers) and give them a voice in how companies present, enter, and succeed in the channel.

Erick and Rich see sales potential in ID Agent offering its security training solution standalone, wisdom in using regular communication to avoid the “Great Resignation,” and horror in a real-life version of Weekend at Bernie's. Articles referenced in this episode: ID Agent Turns BullPhish ID Security Training Solution Into Stand-Alone Product Irish police investigate claim dead man taken to post office

Mmmm, nothing beats the intoxicating aroma of good salesmanship. Listen to Matt, Rich, guest host Lisa Shorr (of Secure Future Tech Solutions and Shorr Success) speak with sales expert Keith Lubner (of Sales Gravy), and you'll see what we mean. Don't miss out on the conversation about ID Agent turning its security awareness training tool into a standalone product, Sophos breaking into zero-trust network access, and Lenovo's high-performance computing-as-a-service offering either, not to mention Lisa's recent article on running your business with emotional intelligence.

Cybersecurity in 2022 looks to be an even hotter button than years past. Cybercriminals are becoming more persistent and devious than ever…This needs to be top of mind with business this year and moving forward. Ryan catches up with Amelia Paro, Business Development Manager with ID Agent to discuss the Sales Conversation and breaking through the SMB. ‘Tell a story to sell without selling', Amelia tells us. Move the needle by invoking an emotional response from your prospects.

Host Karl interviewed Manoj Srivastava, General Manager of ID Agent and Graphus. Today's employees have a better understanding of cybersecurity risks than in years past, but it can still feel like a massive undertaking to get everyone to complete even the most basic of training. While hacking into a system is difficult, sophisticated social engineering attacks tricking users to give away their credentials is far more common, meaning anyone can fall victim to these scams. Manoj explains why training is not enough. He believe cybersecurity awareness should be embedded into the culture of an organization, with employees understanding how their daily behaviors contribute to the cyber environment.

What information is out on the Internet about your clients and customers.  ID Agent is a channel-friendly organization that offers dark web scanning and monitoring for MSPs and their clients.

Small and mid-sized businesses are experiencing high levels of risk of breach,  with so many web-based platforms like HubSpot, LinkedIn, Smart home platforms, and so many more, it is typical for most of us to create logins to these with our business email address. So when an employee uses the same password for business and personal or mixes their business email with their personal lives  how does that impact your business? We have a great show lined up today and we have Kevin Lancaster CEO of ID Agent.  Kevin Lancaster is the CEO and Co-founder of ID Agent, the leading provider of Dark Web Intelligence and Identity Monitoring to thousands of businesses globally. Kevin has spent the last 15 years in technical entrepreneurship and consultancy to the public and private sectors. Most notably, he led the team to restore and protect the identities of 4.2 million government employees compromised by the most damaging data breach in U.S. history, on behalf of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. 

ChannelPro Weekly is back for season two, and it’s bigger and better than ever! No, really, take it from Matt and Rich. They’ll tell you so themselves. Then they’ll chew over IBM’s big push into the SMB space, a new IoT management solution from TeamViewer, and ConnectWise’s acquisition earlier this month of HTG Peer Groups. That’s followed by chatter about ChannelPro’s 2018 tech industry preview article, an interesting new security vendor named ID Agent, some portable scanners, excerpts from an exclusive interview Rich conducted last December with Datto CEO Austin McChord, and a peek at a keyboard drawer, safely preserved in Matt’s tech museum, that dates to the dawn of the PC era. All that plus a lively discussion about donuts. Do you know what a bismark is? Neither do Matt and Rich.
