Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Getting Breached: Matt Lee Shares MSP Cybersecurity Strategies for Under $3M Shops
Q: What are you seeing as some of the highlights that MSPs should be paying attention to in 2026?
MSPs need to look beyond traditional malware and focus on people, processes, and technology working together, with emphasis on social engineering trends, AI-assisted attacks, faster exploit timelines, and the importance of blast-radius reduction and strong governance across clients.
Stop Alert Fatigue: Blumira's Approach to MSP Cybersecurity in 2026
Q: What is one piece of advice for MSPs to level up their security platform going into 2026?
Don't underestimate the value of full visibility across a multi-layered security stack; defense in depth and a consolidated platform will be essential as attackers evolve and as consolidation pressure grows.
Stop Alert Fatigue: Blumira's Approach to MSP Cybersecurity in 2026
Q: What is one thing Blumira does differently that MSPs will love in 2026?
The way we're weaving AI into the product to automate intelligent security operations and the ability to scale with a per-user economic model that doesn't force MSPs to sacrifice coverage or data ingestion.
Stop Alert Fatigue: Blumira's Approach to MSP Cybersecurity in 2026
Q: How does Blumira's Kindling platform deal with the challenge of alert fatigue across disparate tools?
It consolidates security data into a single platform, reduces noise by prioritizing the most actionable findings, and enables automated workflows and integrations to streamline investigation and response.
Stop Alert Fatigue: Blumira's Approach to MSP Cybersecurity in 2026
Q: You just mentioned Kid Me, your AI agentic platform. Can you dive a little deeper into how that really helps cut alerts for MSPs and alleviate fatigue?
Kindling centralizes alert data, correlates findings across multiple sources, and surfaces one clear, actionable case rather than dozens of noisy alerts; this dramatically lowers manual effort and speeds response, while also integrating with existing tools to avoid disruption.
