As entire businesses switched to remote working, IT teams found themselves trying to fit months-long projects into days, with security an unfortunate but understandable casualty. Faced with a new landscape, cybercriminals ditched some old tactics and placed a new emphasis on gathering intelligence. And as people adapted to their “new normal,” scammers exploited their isolation with a resurgence in tech support scams. New adversaries crawled out of the woodwork, too. April’s global shutdown was accompanied by a staggering rise in the use of stalkerware, a shorthand term for the type of mobile monitoring and spyware apps that are sometimes deployed by abusive partners.
Read about three case studies of MSPs who overcame their endpoint security challenges with Malwarebytes.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are an important part of the IT environment, providing the knowledge and the trusted partnerships that enable organizations of all sizes to embrace innovations made available by our era of digital transformation.
While there has never been a more exciting time to be an MSP, there are also many challenges MSPs must navigate to acquire and preserve long-lasting client relationships. Specifically, MSPs cite maintaining profitability (27 percent), bolstering growth (33 percent), and managing cybersecurity (30 percent) as some of their top business issues.
When it comes to managing cybersecurity, safeguarding client endpoints is a critical piece of the MSP service offering. MSPs should have an endpoint security vendor that helps them overcome common issues that can cut into profits and lead to client churn.
Your selected endpoint security vendor should ensure that you can streamline your client deployments, simplify your ability to prioritize your response efforts, and manage your clients at scale. Ultimately, your vendor should optimize the efficiency of your time and efforts so that you can continue to grow your business and maximize revenue.
Malwarebytes is a leader in the endpoint security space for MSPs with a best-in-class endpoint security portfolio. Its integration with ConnectWise Automate syncs data between both solutions so you can deliver strong client endpoint security using the latest Malwarebytes scanning and remediation tools. MSPs can also uncover new options for generating revenue by offering endpoint security as a new product and service offering.
Just as doctors must probe their patients to uncover hidden maladies or diseases, so too must companies probe their networks, systems, applications, and web assets to uncover weaknesses subject to possible hacking. The practice is called Penetration Testing, or pen testing for short. As with all issues relating to security, there are optimal ways of conduct pen tests and less than ideal ways.

Are you ready for Incentive Compensation Management?
Properly implemented, incentive compensation management software enables organizations to automate sales commission calculations, easily communicate sales comp to reps, and provide actionable insights by having all sales comp data in one place. By investing in an incentive compensation management solution, companies can dramatically reduce the cost and pain of managing sales comp and increase revenue by offering their sales team clear visibility into their performance against targets.
Before you embark on your ICM initiative, make sure you’ve given time to consider the factors that can spell the difference between success and failure. In this kit, we outline 5 key considerations when evaluating whether to invest in an ICM solution. By adhering to these important steps, you can ensure you have a successful project and do not risk a failed implementation.
What You Will Learn in this Best Practices Kit- 5 Key Considerations:
Spreadsheets and inflexible legacy compensation management systems are a roadblock. Despite the opportunity, much of sales compensation is still dependent on spreadsheets, even though 90% typically contain hidden errors. Even organizations running traditional Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) and Sales Performance Management (SPM) systems still heavily rely on spreadsheets, due to the inflexibility of these legacy apps. Yet spreadsheets and their associated problems can have a painful impact.
Errors damage sales trust. Sales ends up wasting time in “shadow-accounting” (doublechecking their commissions). This often leads to poorly designed compensation models that result in lop-sided over-attainment or SPIFs that don’t drive ROI on spend. It’s why organizations are reexamining their sales comp systems and processes—whether moving from spreadsheets or re-evaluating the ease of use and flexibility of their existing sales comp software. One leading industry analyst predicts that by 2022 nearly half of B2B companies with more than 100-employees will deploy new solutions to tackle the problem of managing and automating sales comp.
What You Will Learn in this Guide:
1) How to ensure data flows and transformations don’t jeopardize comp
automation
2) What to look for in a compensation plan builder so you don’t run out of runway
3) Which comp and payee workflows are essential - and common mistakes to avoid
4) The key questions to ask around reporting and analytics
5) Why many ICM solutions are so hard to use
6) How to ensure you won’t be left high and dry with service and support
