At Right of Boom last month, news broke of a cool partnership between Right of Boom itself, Center for Internet Security, Black Hills Information and Antisyphon to deliver CIS Controls training to MSPs.
This course is endorsed by
the Center for Internet Security and can be used to obtain your CIS accreditation affordably and easily. Now, John Strand and Phyllis Lee are hosting their first Getting Started & Ask Me Anything (AMA) in the CIS Controls Mastery Course for MSPs so you can see what it's all about.
The AMA will be held on Friday, March 7, 2025, at 2:00 pm EST, and it's open to all. Check it out!

Today's MSSP Update
1. Orca partners with Monday to streamline security fixes: Orca Security today announced a partnership with Monday.com that allows security and dev teams to transfer critical security data directly from the Orca Platform into monday.com’s work management platform for precise prioritization and remediation of security issues. That means whoever is responsible for the fix has all the information they need to remediate the issue. Users can create templates that fit their specific workflows, and a risk score prioritizes incoming work. Other fields provide cloud engineers with precise information on which asset needs help and how to fix the issue.
2. CrowdStrike inks distro agreement with Arrow: CrowdStrike has
signed a distribution agreement with Arrow Electronics that will offer the
CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform to Arrow channel partners and customers across the U.S. and Canada. This collaboration expands CrowdStrike’s channel ecosystem to Arrow’s resellers, CSPs, MSPs and MSSPs.
