BitLocker has long been the standard when it comes to disk encryption for your devices running Microsoft Windows operating systems—particularly on workstations and laptops. It’s designed to protect data by encrypting the entire disk drive on which the OS and user data are stored. This encryption ensures that even if someone physically steals or accesses your computer, they won’t be able to get to the data on the encrypted drive without the appropriate decryption key.

As cyber threats get more sophisticated, cybersecurity becomes a top concern for organizations. In this context, MSPs face an unenviable task: they manage the IT infrastructure and services of multiple customers—often small and medium businesses, which tend to be cybercriminals’ preferred targets. This job is being made even more challenging due to the increased use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies in modern workplaces.

At a recent event, I found myself talking to a lot of MSPs about patching and upgrading to Windows 11. So, I thought it would be a good idea to look at this subject in more depth in a blog. We tend to see our MSP partners and their SMB/SME customers fall into two distinct and opposing camps on this: Over the past six months, Microsoft has been making a huge push towards shifting everyone to Windows 11—even by force if necessary.

As someone deeply immersed in the cybersecurity field for over 20 years, I have witnessed firsthand the impact of the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ analysis on technology vendors, service providers, and their customers.

Cybercriminals have become increasingly sophisticated, employing aggressive and ever-changing techniques to breach small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). These attacks are on the rise, posing a significant threat to organizations that lack robust cybersecurity measures. Hackers are relentless in their efforts to exploit vulnerabilities in SMBs’ systems, often due to their comparatively weaker security infrastructure.

What’s this I hear you cry, “Not another blog about Patch Management, what’s there left to say?”; well a lot, actually. I recently just passed my eighth work anniversary with N-able, and over those eight years I’ve spent more time talking to partners and prospects about Patch Management than any other topic.
