DattoCon Is Postponed, But We’ve Still Got June 8 On Our Calendar

by Serena Raymond on May 20, 2020 12:00:00 AM

Like us, you’ve probably had the week of June 8 blocked off on your calendar for a very important reason: It’s DattoCon week! Right now, DattoCon is postponed until a currently unknown time.

But we were too excited about DattoCon and the opportunity to connect with MSPs and other vendors to not do something. And we had a few things planned that we decided to go ahead with, conference or no conference. We hope you’ll join us.

Here’s everything we have going on the week of June 8.

Anatomy of a Phish

When: Monday, June 8, 2020 at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT

Your clients care a lot about phishing attacks. One in three employees at any given company are likely to click on a malicious link. And 43% of all data breaches are the result of phishing attacks.

They’re looking for answers, and they need you to be the expert.

Attend this webinar to gain talking points you can take back to your clients to help expose the importance of protecting against phishing attacks. We’ll cover:

What a phishing attack is
How it works
What you can do to mitigate attacks

You’ll also walk away with handouts after every session, including handouts on phishing and a cybersecurity checklist.

DNSFilter Office Hours

When: Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT

This is your chance to connect with DNSFilter and other MSPs. Think of this as a hybrid Ask-Me-Anything event and MSP happy hour.

We’ll walk you through a brief demo of our new active directory integration, open the floor for questions and feedback, and finish the session by checking in with everyone. We’ll share what we’ve been seeing as coronavirus is changing our business, and we hope you’ll help fellow MSPs by sharing your thoughts.

We expect this session to get off-topic. Bring a mocktail🥂.

DNSFilter Vs. Cisco Umbrella: What’s Best For Your MSP?

When: Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT

We’re finishing our Waiting For DattoCon event with a direct, head-to-head comparison of DNSFilter to Cisco Umbrella.

If you’re a DNSFilter customer, you’ll gain some great talking points around DNS protection to share with your clients.

If you’re not a DNSFilter customer, we’ll walk you through an actual experiment we ran on behalf of a Fortune 500 customer to determine which tool is the most accurate DNS threat protection out there.

Join us

We hope to see (virtually) meet you during Waiting For DattoCon the week of June 8. We’ll have room for a Q&A in each session, so don’t be shy! Share your questions with us.

Smarter DNS Policies: What You Should Be Blocking (But Probably Aren’t)

DNS filtering is a foundational layer of defense and helps to fortify the strongest security stacks. Most organizations use DNSFilter to block the obvious: malware, phishing, and adult content. That’s a great start, but many are missing out on the broader potential of DNS policies.

Educating Your Clients on the Sophistication of Phishing Attacks

Imagine losing $31,583 every minute. That’s how much cybercrime cost American businesses in 2024, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Phishing was one of the top threats behind that number. If you're still thinking phishing is just about misspelled emails from a Nigerian prince, you're dangerously underestimating today’s threat.

IAM Userless: Streamline AWS Access & Reduce the Attack Surface

Security and scalability are paramount in modern cloud architectures. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity and Access Management is a critical tool that helps you manage users, permissions, and access control across AWS services. While Identity and Access Management (IAM) users have traditionally been the go-to approach for granting access to resources, there are significant advantages to moving to IAM roles.
