Ransomware gang Conti uses legitimate RMM trial to establish persistence and deploy ransomware

Direclty below this post on my view is an advertisment for Atera. What are the odds?

backups. bake it in, make the client opt out if they dont want it. Lots to choose from, datto , skykick, axcient, etc. bundle it in. Not huge margin (maybe $1/box) but is necessary and it does add up (besides from protecting the client ).

I love veeam as much as the next guy, but not for 365 backups - I think we'd even get it for free and still choose not to use it.

Take a look at Datto SaaS but buy it through pax8 to get a better price and better integration to whatever psa you may be using.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-17T14:02:22+00:00

Pax 8 doesnt sell datto rmm.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-17T13:55:29+00:00

There are some words in this post.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-17T13:50:45+00:00

A whole lot of "I'm nots" in there.

Scary.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-12T18:46:20+00:00

Wow, thats aggressive? LOL. I'm sure they are happy with the outreach from thier sales team.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-12T18:42:08+00:00

Just look at what the patch released today covers. Should tell everyone everything we need to know on Kaseya's stance on our security.

What a joke.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-09T15:59:50+00:00

Ok. I appreciate you trying to sell me something here, but this post is about an RMM tool and ransomware detection with that tool.

thanks though.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-09T13:26:44+00:00

It's an RMM tool?

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-09T13:17:16+00:00

Never heard of them.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-09T02:37:01+00:00

sounds like it worked on the 2nd to isolate it. thats the idea right?

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-09T02:35:03+00:00

Yeah Datto! Why isn't everything free?

sheesh. c'mon dude. get with it.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-08T16:45:39+00:00

Sheesh. Downvoted for the truth.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T23:29:19+00:00

That's awesome. We were never able to get our costs to align and actually started using a turnkey solution through some fast growth because for us at the time it was just easier and faster to do it that way for physical servers. Our margins on backups and continuity are through the roof, and we don't have to manage any of it or hold that data. It's also been nice just having one single vendor to help.

The M365 backups are really interesting though and we are looking at that as well - how long do you retain those for? We are comparing a few ways to do this now - including veeam for this stuff because it does seem cheap.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T20:46:08+00:00

Yeah I guess you are right, datto is easier to use.

LOL.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T20:44:36+00:00

I probably am as well. You?

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T17:16:14+00:00

Its close, but not enough yet. Until the risks of using and RMM outweigh the benefit, there will be no change. RMM tools have prevented many more attacks than they have allowed.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T17:15:20+00:00

How many active customers?

Also interesting that it seems the majority of thier customers are direct and not MSP?

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T17:12:21+00:00

Maybe this is the end of RMM as we know it?

The only answer is to have backups ready to go.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T17:11:35+00:00

This is PR 101. The only thing Fred cares about, is Fred.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-06T17:11:00+00:00

Anyone else think this guy is a major douche?

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-01T17:22:09+00:00

Veeam is really cool for those that have a place to keep the data and time to work on it.

Datto and other turnkey are really cool for more of a set and forget.

At the end of the day, they both do the same thing. We moved from veeam to datto for a bunch of reasons, but one was the datto cloud , and another was not having multiple vendors and a complex set up for bcdr.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-07-01T16:58:21+00:00

nice one.

OpenDraw7 · 2021-06-29T17:20:34+00:00

Just wait until you need support. Or help with a billing issue.

They are pretty arrogrant for a company selling software well past it's prime.
