    Data Privacy and Security Trends in 2026

    A much-needed discussion on the fast‑shifting world of data privacy in 2026 and what it means for MSPs on the front lines. From the tangled web of U.S. state privacy laws to the rising risks hidden in modern data flows (yes, even your car!), guest Andy Sambandam, Clarip CEO & Founder, lays out why every security breach is now a privacy breach, and why security and privacy are officially a forever marriage. We dig into transparency, consent, data mapping, retention policies, and the growing pressure on businesses to actually practice what their privacy policies preach. If you want to stay ahead of compliance, client expectations, and real‑world data risks, this episode gives you the clarity and direction you need.

    Exploring AI Usage, Misconceptions, and of course Security Concerns

    In this episode, we cut through the AI hype with Alane Boyd to unpack what MSPs really need to know about today’s AI landscape. We cut right to the chase on data‑privacy pitfalls and free-tool misconceptions, and on the rise of AI agents that go far beyond simple automation. We explore practical, business-ready use cases, how to build safe and effective AI policies, and why better prompting (and better balance with our mental health) matters more than ever. If you’ve wondered how AI can help your team without putting your data at risk, this episode delivers the clarity you’ve been looking for.

    Human Behavior and Shifting from Security Awareness to Appreciation

    Chris Johnson and cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano dive into the human side of security, exploring why default trust and denial make people vulnerable to social engineering and cyber threats. They discuss the cultural framing of security, the importance of personalizing security practices, and why leadership must model proactive behaviors. The conversation introduces the concept of a “strategic human firewall,” emphasizing that proper protection comes from security appreciation, not just awareness. From AI-driven fraud and voice cloning to practical steps like password managers and two-factor authentication, this episode highlights how mindset shifts and personal responsibility are key to resilience in today’s threat landscape.
