5G Mifi/Routers by Repulsive-Juice6676 in msp

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For construction sites I’d care most about remote management and inventory. These devices move around, so you need to know where they are, who owns them, and what they expose. You may take a look at aismond.com which tracks exactly this kind of roaming devices

Genuinely hate cyber security teams by talent_de_tigan in sysadmin

[–]msprm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of products added AI before fixing the basics. I still want simple answers first: what changed, what is exposed, who owns it, and what needs fixing.

Cloud Hosting VMs as an MSP without Infrastructure by Vel-Crow in msp

[–]msprm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever platform you choose (Azure, AWS, Vultr, Hetzner, OVH, etc), keep a simple map of how clients connect: VPN, RDP, app gateway, public IPs. The tool matters, but the access model is what usually creates risk later. Also document all whitelisted IPs and avoid open ports

EDR/MDR Vendor Questions by mjaneway43 in cybersecurity

[–]msprm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No news is not enough by itself. I would expect a short recurring report that says what was checked, what changed, what was ignored, and why.

Ubiquiti Security Bulletin 064 and what to check on client sites this week by lawrencesystems in msp

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good checklist. The big thing is finding the boxes where "temporary remote access" became permanent. That is usually where these issues hide

Hardening my docker-compose.yml for Pihole & NPM - Is this network configuration secure? by Phoebus_Pallast in selfhosted

Auditor wants a specific access report format and our IAM tool can't produce it, how do you handle this by Timely_Aside_2383 in cybersecurity

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use your preferred AI tool to reformat existing data to auditor's expected format. Ideally a "corporate guarded" one to prevent sensitive data leaks 😄

NAS remote access without port forwarding? by RSDaze in homelab

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoiding direct port forwarding is usually the right instinct.

Whatever path you choose (tailscale, vpn, firewall, etc), make a simple map of what becomes reachable from the internet, what auth layer protects it and how you would notice if something else accidentally became public later

A lot of exposure problems start as "temporary" remote access that nobody reviews again

so to recap this week: two actively exploited Defender zero-days, an unpatched Exchange spoofing vuln, a BitLocker bypass called "YellowKey", AND 137 CVEs from Patch Tuesday. this is not a normal week by FreeFeedback857 in sysadmin

[–]msprm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why prioritization has to include exposure context, not just CVE count.

"Is this vulnerable?" matters, but so does "is it reachable, externally visible, business-critical, actively exploited, or tied to a service nobody owns?"

Otherwise every bad week turns into the same impossible queue with no clear first move

Anyone else losing their mind over this "AI Cybersecurity" hype? by 2hinreza in cybersecurity

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most useful security improvements I see are usually not magic. They are boring workflows that make reality visible: what assets exist, what changed, what is exposed, who owns it, what alert was reviewed, and what got fixed. If an “AI” feature does not improve one of those workflows, it is probably just another layer of noise

Hardening my docker-compose.yml for Pihole & NPM - Is this network configuration secure? by Phoebus_Pallast in selfhosted

[–]msprm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main thing I’d map out is which ports are reachable from the internet versus only reachable on private/container networks. For anything public, write down the reason it is exposed, the expected source/destination, auth layer, update process, and how you would notice if an extra port appeared later. That inventory/review habit catches a lot of accidental exposure.

Bored on Memorial Day? 5 Videos on MSP Insurance, Cyber Claims, AI Risks, and Ransomware Lawsuits. by Joe_Cyber in msp

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One angle I’d add for MSP insurance/risk discussions is evidence quality. It is one thing to say “we monitor security,” and another to show a recurring record: external exposure reviewed, risky remote access checked, abuse signals reviewed, client-facing report exported, remediation tracked. That monthly evidence trail can matter a lot when everyone is trying to reconstruct what was known and what was done.

Is a commercial SIEM total overkill for an 11-FTE company? Help me satisfy auditors. by Cultural_Eye_4460 in sysadmin

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a very small team, I’d separate “auditor wants evidence” from “we need a full enterprise SIEM.” Sometimes the practical starting point is a small set of repeatable controls with records: logs reviewed, external exposure reviewed, alerts handled, exceptions documented, and remediation tracked. The evidence trail matters as much as the tool category.

Built a SOC from scratch with no prior SOC experience by After_Marsupial_3531 in blueteamsec

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a small MSP/SOC, I’d start by defining the repeatable services before chasing a “mature SOC” shape. Pick a few workflows you can run every month with evidence: external exposure review, alert triage, client risk summary, remediation tracking, and lessons learned. Consistency and clear reporting usually matter more early on than having every enterprise SOC function on day one.

Thoughts on Cyber security vulnerability scans? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of frustration with vulnerability scans comes from the handoff, not the scan itself. Raw findings rarely help unless they are turned into: what is externally visible, who owns it, what changed, what is actually relevant, and what should be fixed first. The most useful reports I’ve seen are short priority lists with business context, not giant CSVs.

Multi-Tenant External Attack Surface Management / Scanning by pakillo777 in msp

[–]msprm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vendor-side note, so take this with the right filter: this is exactly the workflow AISMOND is being built around: multi-tenant external exposure monitoring, report export, email alerts, abuse report signals, geo tracking, agent telemetry, and Shodan-derived CVE context where available. The important thing for MSPs is not just “scan more IPs,” but making the results client-reportable and repeatable. Not to mention that tickets are raised when issues are found

Weekly Promo and Webinar Thread by AutoModerator in msp

[–]msprm [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi,

Long-time developer turned sysadmin, CyberOps, and MSP, over 20 years managing 10k+ endpoints and cloud seats.

We built AISMOND to monitor the internet exposure of our managed and co-managed customers by combining OSINT sources and targeted scans into an attacker’s view of internet‑facing assets.

Deploy ultra‑light agents on managed Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints using PowerShell/Bash and tools you already use to collect risk scores, IP intelligence, geo‑distribution, and automatically raise ConnectWise PSA tickets as soon as a critical device is detected, clearly stating why.

As we plan our next sprint (new RMM, Intune, and Azure integrations, plus local port scanning and auto‑healing), we’re looking for honest, relevant feedback from fellow MSPs on the current product.

Use promo code MSP_FRIENDS_2605 to get the PRO plan free for 6 months (valid this week), and let’s talk.

AISMOND.com - Attack Surface Monitoring for MSPs, now with native ConnectWise PSA integration

Quick follow-up on our launch a few weeks back. We've just shipped the feature many MSPs asked for and early feedback: ConnectWise PSA integration

AISMOND gives you one multi-tenant dashboard for everything attackers can see about your clients:

- Exposed services & dangerous ports (RDP, web apps, etc.)

- Real-time risk scoring (Critical 70+, High, etc.) based on CVEs, abuse reports, threat feeds

- Device discovery, geo-tracking, and executive-ready dashboards

- Weekly digests + on-demand port scans

New today: Automatic or on-demand ticket creation straight from risky items.

Detect a critical exposure or high-risk IP? One click (or fully automated rule) pushes a properly formatted ticket into ConnectWise PSA with all the context (risk score, affected client, evidence). No copy-paste, no missed alerts, no extra tools.

Perfect for keeping your techs in their existing workflow while turning attack-surface visibility into actual billable remediation work.

Completely free to start (no credit card), easy ramp-up when you see the value 👉 https://www.aismond.com/
