My opinion and analysis of the week’s news and events in a succinct summary format. Feel free to comment.
The Benefits of Managed Services
Several articles have been published recently (from different locations) all touting the benefits of using MSPs. Now, I am all in favor of this type of content. Heck, I've published a number of these types of articles myself over the years.
I just find it curious when I start to see multiple articles all featuring similar themes. To me, it seems like a trend and that is very interesting.
Both articles are pro-managed services and are worth a read. What I am curious about is motive. Why are these types of articles being written now? This could be a response to the increase in cyber-attacks and threats arising from the Ukraine conflict, it could also be a reply to the general misinformation floating around about supply chain attacks. Whatever the reasons, it's nice to see some positive news for MSPs.

NIST Seeks Guidance
It is safe to say that NIST (and CMMC) has been riding a wave of popularity in recent months. The general conversations about cyberattacks all lead to questions of how to prevent such attacks from happening, or at least around how to survive such attacks.
