Welcome back to the MSP Security Playbook, powered by Heimdal Security, the unified, AI-driven cybersecurity platform designed to help MSPs streamline operations and scale profitably.
In this episode, host Jacob Hazelbaker is joined by Luis Giraldo, Chief Evangelist at ScalePad and seasoned MSP operator, to tackle a crucial mindset shift: moving beyond tools and tickets toward customer success.
Luis shares why MSPs can no longer afford to think only about their stack or efficiency. Instead, the future belongs to those who deeply understand their clients’ businesses, align technology with outcomes, and position themselves as strategic advisors.
Plus, Luis takes on the MSP Hot Seat, answering how to start implementing customer success without a dedicated role.
You’ll also hear from Adam Pilton in the Threat Briefing, where he breaks down how the Interlock ransomware group crippled St. Paul, MN, and why MSPs are a prime target for double-extortion attacks.
If you’re ready to elevate your MSP from “the IT guy” to trusted business partner, this episode is a playbook you won’t want to miss.
