Chris finds out from Mike:
What should businesses look for in an MSP?
Can they provide the 3 pillars of technology?
How secure is the MSP and why that matters? (Referring to the recent Kaseya cyber attack. The attack was on a software provider that sells its tools to MSPs. A cyber attack on an MSP or a tool that an MSP uses can have a very damaging waterfall effect)
What expectations should a business have on an MSP when it comes to security? What does it mean for a company to be an MSP vs an MSSP? (Manage service provider vs managed security service provider)
Can the MSP provide a strategic technology roadmap? What questions should businesses ask of MSPs when it comes to road-mapping?'
