On Saturday, news broke that Cognizant, one of the world's largest IT consulting firms and MSPs, is grappling with a ransomware attack that has been triggering service disruptions for some of the company's clients.

Details are limited, but it's an unfortunate reminder that attackers aren't suspending operations during this crisis, and MSPs are still considered a high-value target.

With that in mind, this week we're sharing two important security resources along with an invitation to join us for a major security-focused virtual event.

Or, if you're looking for something that can help you improve your sales and marketing, we've got a couple of things to share on that front, too.
