Sharing Information to Strengthen Cybersecurity

In our first episode, I spoke with Arnie Bellini, co-founder and former CEO of ConnectWise. Back in August of 2019, Arnie brought the idea of a solution provider-focused ISAO to the forefront. It was the precursor to what is now the CompTIA ISAO and Arnie has generously provided financial backing to help us stand up the CompTIA ISAO going forward.

Arnie shared his concerns about the current state of cybersecurity within the solution provider community and the risk to the industry if we do not improve the way we share information. Competitors must set aside their individual concerns and come together to do what is best for the industry. CompTIA has an excellent track record of doing exactly that, getting competitors to come together and check their business cards at the door and work together to make things better for the entire industry. The cliché a rising tide floats all boats hold true for all CompTIA initiatives.

ason Magee, CEO of ConnectWise, joined me for the third episode to talk about the importance of information sharing to successfully defending against cyber threats. Since taking over the CEO role from Arnie Bellini, Jason has built on the legacy of the company and brought a clear focus on cybersecurity strategy to the company. On the show, he talks about the role of each organization involved in the fight against the bad actors. Each company is a link in a chain and that any one weak link will weaken the chain, allowing hackers the advantage. We discussed how technology vendors can successfully partner with their customers to help improve the cybersecurity resilience of the end customers that we all serve.
