How PC Matic Pro Delivers Measurable Risk Reduction When Budgets Are Tight The Cybersecurity Spending Paradox Budgets for cybersecurity keep growing, yet breaches keep happening. Across every industry, security leaders are asking the same question: Why isn’t more money translating into more protection? That’s the focus of a recent CISO Tradecraft analysis titled “Don’t Just […]

Every managed service provider knows that visibility is half the battle. You cannot protect or plan for what you cannot see. One of our MSP partners recently shared a story that highlights the power of clear visibility inside PC Matic: “I was able to use PC Matic to spot Windows 10 machines on client networks

The Hard Truth: Hackers Don’t Skip the Little Guys If you run a small shop, accounting firm, medical practice, or contracting business, you might think cybercriminals wouldn’t bother with you.

We allowed applications to run freely, intervening only when something misbehaved. But AI has made that approach untenable.

As an MSP, you live in a world of acronyms, protocols, and tech stack integrations. Terms like “allowlisting”, “EDR,” “multi-tenancy,” “DNS filtering,” and “endpoint protection” are second nature. But when you’re sitting across the table from a small business owner, that language can be more of a barrier than a bridge. For many SMB clients,
