This week concludes the DattoCon conference in Austin, TX, June 18-20th, 2018, and quite frankly, it was one of our best conference’s yet - considering Passportal has been a sponsor for over 100 events. With over 1600 MSP’s in attendance from 25 different countries across the world, we are humbled with how receptive our presence was amongst all MSP's, our partners and other vendors. Just like bat signal in the midnight sky, the spotlight was on us.

Let’s start off by defining SOC 2 (System and Organization Control Requirements). SOC 2 defines requirements for system security, availability, confidentiality, data processing integrity and data privacy in an organization. With ever-increasing frequency, technology service providers are being questioned about these elements.

Since the launch of Passportal’s Ocular™ Documentation solution, our current partners have benefited from the additional value of integrated credential security and password services. However for many who use IT Glue, the effort required to port documentation to Ocular™ was cost prohibitive.  Now partners can lower their costs, while consolidating password security and documentation management via an automated migration tool.

Thought you couldn’t go to DataCon18? Well, guess again!

Like the clock on DattoCon.com, we are all anxiously counting down the seconds for this year’s 6th annual MSP networking event DattoCon June 18-20, 2018 in Austin, Texas. In less than 5 days, the conference will be hosted in the polished high-rise building of the Fairmont Austin Hotel.

As National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) continues we want to help educate our partners on the importance of cyber security. As technology advances we continue to put software everywhere. It is not only changing the way we interact with the world around us, but also makes us very dependent on it. When everyday dependence comes into play, both individuals and companies become vulnerable and at risk if technology fails. Below are a few ways on how Passportal creates a cyber security culture:

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) which is a month dedicated towards raising awareness around the importance of online safety. NCSAM claims that the golden key to long-term success is education. Educating employees around what the most common cyber threats are will help create cyber resilience.

We are all very focused on growing the business, retaining clients, and overall being the best in class for our respective areas. We attend seminars, watch live videos and even participate in hallway chats at conferences to learn tips and tricks from our peers and industry experts, but there is one thing I think some MSP’s forget about at times, and it’s their own team.
