Automation Theory

For MSPs, proactive security is key. Our security scanner ensures your tools are safe and properly hardened. Get the insights you need to maintain a secure, trusted IT environment.

🏹 You started this week as a Level 1 adventurer… are you a database master yet? 🏰 On Monday, we mapped out some database dangers: ⚠️ Tables with misspelled names – Dead ends! ⚠️ Inconsistent delimiters – Pitfalls everywhere! ⚠️ No foreign keys – Orphaned data lurking in the dark! That's why we created the last schema guide you'll ever need! With 660 tables, navigating this 8-bit maze requires more than courage—it takes a map. 🗡️ Did our guide help you level up? 💾 What's the most formidable database challenge you've faced? 💡 Share your battle scars in the comments & power up with our guide: https://buff.ly/414Cvu4 #FlashbackFriday #ConnectWise #LabTechDatabase #ConnectWiseAutomate #DatabaseMapping #8BitDataQuest #LevelUp #LegendOfZelda

🚨 Tossing an unpatched MySQL database in the dumpster is one way to avoid a cyber insurance denial—just not the recommended way.💻🗑️ On Monday, we discussed a potential issue for MSPs: cyber insurance claims denials due to outdated MySQL databases. If you missed it, here's a quick refresher. Many cyber insurance policies now include clauses like: ☑️ "Failure to Put Right" – If a breach happens and your MySQL database is unpatched, your claim could be denied. ☑️ "Gross Negligence" – Some policies don't just deny claims—they may drop you altogether. If you haven't patched MySQL since last week's release, you're already out of date. The question is, will your insurance provider care? (Hint: Yes.) 💡 We make MySQL patching easy. Our Maintenance Packages ensure your systems are up-to-date and compliant, so you don't have to stress about the fine print. 🔗 Revisit our mentioned blog for the full breakdown: https://buff.ly/4geTwIE #AutomationTheory #CyberInsurance #MySQL #MSPBestPractices #FlashbackFriday #ComplianceMatters

🚀 You can't time-travel to stop a breach, but you can go back and watch our webinar! If you joined us on #WebinarWednesday, you got an inside look at how MSPs can harden their defenses against zero-day vulnerabilities in ScreenConnect. But if you missed it, now's your chance to catch up! 🔍 What We Covered: ✔️ Zero-Day Risks – How attackers leverage Shodan to identify weak points. ✔️ Real-World Protection – The power of a reverse proxy and WAF in stopping RCE exploits. ✔️ Cyber Kill Chain Defense – How to map your security strategy to prevent, detect, and respond to threats. 💡 The replay is available now! Don't let zero-day threats catch you off guard—watch here: 🔗 https://buff.ly/414Ctnv #CyberSecurity #ZeroDayProtection #MSPDefense #CyberKillChain #ScreenConnectSecurity #AutomationTheory

Still, relying on ConnectWise PSA without a WAF? You're not alone — but that gap could be your biggest risk. XSS attacks, outdated jQuery, and public enumeration are real threats targeting PSA tools right now. Most MSPs are vulnerable and don't even realize it. In our new webinar (now live on YouTube 🎥), we break down: ✅ What attackers are actually exploiting in ConnectWise PSA ✅ How to detect and block malicious payloads before they hit ✅ How you can deploy a WAF + reverse proxy in under an hour ✅ What real-world MSP failures (like PM Consultants) can teach us You don't need a massive security stack—you just need smart, layered protection. This video shows you how to implement it. 🎬 Watch now: https://lnkd.in/gEJdj3wJ #MSP #CyberSecurity #ConnectWise #Webinar #WAF #XSS #AutomationTheory #MSPsecurity

When you read the incident report and realize your login page was never the target — the attackers got in before it even loaded… This might be funny in a meme, but it's all too real for MSPs still relying on patching and firewalls alone. In light of recent ScreenConnect vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-1708 & 1709), it's clear that Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and reverse proxies aren’t optional — they're essential. With the right setup, you can: ✅ Block reconnaissance before it reaches your app ✅ Enforce IP and geo-based access controls ✅ Detect and stop known + unknown threats in real-time Missed our Monday post? No worries — it's not too late to strengthen your defenses. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gk6bnzyV #MSP #Cybersecurity #ScreenConnect #WAF #ZeroDay #ITSecurity #AutomationTheory
