  SMBiT Professionals Adelaide Chapter

  Next meeting Tuesday 27 October 2020 SMBiT Professionals Adelaide Chapter usually meets on the last Tuesday of the month   Dinner 5:00pm- 6:30pm Main Event 6:30pm-9:00pm Stay a while afterwards and have a drink and a chat   Location The Duke of Brunswick Hotel 207 Gilbert Street Adelaide SA 5000 Map     Registration Register NOW using the link below (at left if you're on the Web page) IN PERSON MEETING The WFH phenomenon demanding accelerated, secure and controlled collaboration Hybrid, scaleable, protected file sharing - Built for MSPs Andrew Johnson, Managing Director Presenting in person at the Adelaide meeting   Apps like Dropbox and OneDrive are the perfect fit for individuals, freelancers or small agencies looking to store and/or quickly share files and folders with friends or clients. But these tools are far from able to meet small to medium-sized businesses’ (SMBs) requirements. Any company - whether five or 500 employees - needs to ensure its most sensitive and confidential files remain fully under the company’s control. Vendor numbers in this enterprise file sync and share (EFSS) solutions space seem to be exploding. ReportLinker’s May 2020 Report tells us that the global enterprise file synchronisation and sharing market was valued at USD4.23B in 2019 and is expected to reach USD16.99B by 2025. So what’s driving the demand for solutions offering safer enterprise file access, synchronisation and sharing? COVID-19 globally has increased the demand due to the viability of employees working from home. The adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy continues to be a growing trend of our mobile workforce and digital workplace. Underpinning all of this has been the switch from on-premise models to cloud-based integrated solutions. This presentation talks us through Manage Protect’s business cloud storage solution providing enterprise-ready security and collaboration enablement – Workplace. We’ll dissect who the solution is for, why in today’s world, security is more important than ever before, and cover some of Workplace’s compelling features such as hybrid operation (on-prem fileserver & WFH integration), automated ransomware detection and reversal, business grade permissions and user management, tight integration with Google Docs and Microsoft 365 and optimised “Smart Sync” technology providing easy access to all files without using up disk space. Simply put, Workplace adapts to a businesses’ needs, making adding or removing people from a virtually shared environment a swift experience. It genuinely offers integrated Mobile Document Management (MDM) and device security where Admins can add or remove employees from accessing the Workplace cloud, making sure data remains under company control no matter what. Andrew will bring a vicious ransomware virus with him from NSW, which he will release on his unsuspecting Windows 10 desktop and we can all see how Datto workplace handles this situation...  All things working as promised, we will experience the destruction and remediation both from an end customer and partner perspective live!

Colin Chinner MBA, GMQ, ANZIIF (Fellow), CIP, MRMIA MSM Loss Management Colin will be speaking on insurance cover that MSPs may be missing or misinterpreting. Colin is an industry consultant who acts on behalf of customers not insurance companies. "Cyber liability insurance” coverage is a financial product that enables businesses to transfer the costs involved with recovery from a cyber-related security breach or similar events. If your customer has a Cybersecurity insurance policy, can a data breach or security breach cost be transferred to you (recovered from you) or your business as the supplier? Be an educated business owner in what cover you may need as an MSP if an insurance company is likely to come after you for costs or compensation.   Round table discussion Open forum ...   ... issues, ideas, highs, lows, bring them to the table!     Registration Register using the link below
