Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MSP Initiative Live with Jim Jessup of CyberQP
Q: Tell us, Jim, what's happening at CyberQP?
Jim describes the launch of Panthera, an AI-native platform that rebuilds and extends CyberQP's Privileged Access Management tools, designed with a zero-knowledge approach and context-aware integration to reduce token usage and improve security.
Paul Martini of iBoss
Q: How does the iBoss program actually work for an MSP?
There are three package levels based on device coverage, all include visibility, decryption, DLP, and malware protection, with deeper malware and DLP features in higher tiers; setup uses a cloud-based wizard and lightweight agents that encrypt traffic for inspection, with flexible deployment and optional on-premise firewall appliances.
Colin Britton of Haven
Q: What does Haven actually do for users on a day-to-day basis?
It runs in the browser to verify links, whitelist/extensions management on protected tabs, blocks risky extensions on banking sites, and provides in-browser AI-driven hints to help users avoid phishing and spoofed URLs.
Charles Tomeo of Rewst
Q: What is your outlook on the MSP industry as a whole for the next decade?
The guest expresses optimism that MSPs will evolve with AI, gravitating toward more service-based models, while acknowledging some will consolidate or exit if they don't lean in or adapt.
Nathan Ostrowski of Petra Security
Q: How does Petra's autopsy feature change the MSPs' ability to respond to incidents and communicate with clients?
Autopsy provides an instant, end-to-end timeline of what happened, who was affected, and what was accessed, enabling rapid, transparent explanations to customers and faster remediation actions.
