Welcome to another episode of the MSP Security Playbook, brought to you by Heimdal Security—the unified, AI-powered cybersecurity solutions provider that helps MSPs streamline operations and grow more profitable security businesses.
In this episode, host Jacob Hazelbaker sits down with Kevin Lancaster, founder of Channel Program, a platform designed to give MSPs and vendors the data they need to make smarter, faster decisions. Kevin’s seen this industry from all sides—as a founder, investor, and advisor—and today he pulls back the curtain on the operational headaches that are quietly draining MSP profits.
From why 97% of MSPs still rely on Excel spreadsheets to track their tech stacks to how AI attacks are evolving faster than ever, Kevin offers hard truths and practical insights that could save your MSP serious time, money, and stress.
Finally, on this week’s Threat Briefing, Adam breaks down a chilling zero-click iCloud exploit that installs spyware on Apple devices without the user even tapping a link. Learn how it works, why it’s so dangerous, and the urgent steps MSPs must take to protect clients before the July 7th federal compliance deadline.
