Ryan Weeks is the Chief Information Security Officer at Datto. Ryan leads and manages Datto's Information Security program, empowering Datto’s managed services provider partners, and the small and medium sized businesses they serve, on their ongoing cyber resilience journeys. His work is directly responsible for helping MSPs and SMBs prevent, detect, and recover from cyber attacks.
Managed service providers do many positive things, but they also come with risk. Those that want to ensure they minimise those for customers need to be taking a close look at their vendor choices.
With security breaches showing no signs of slowing, MSPs must be constantly vigilant and develop cyber resilience approaches that go beyond purchasing and deploying security solutions. A truly comprehensive cyber security, business continuity and incident response strategy rests on five pillars: the ability to identify risks and threats, and to protect, detect, respond and recover from any actualized risks and threats.
