Why a Layered Defense is Critical

WhiteDog founder Shahin Pirooz understands MSP pain points. As CTO of CenterBeam, an early pure play MSP that was later acquired by EarthLink, Pirooz understands firsthand the ins and outs of remote IT support and the challenges of managing a tool stack. With WhiteDog’s approach to curating a cybersecurity stack, MSPs can consume one preconfigured platform that is fully integrated and backed by 24/7 security operations. In this conversation, Pirooz shares why WhiteDog took a curated approach to its cybersecurity platform, the benefits of their composable model for MSPs, and why WhiteDog acts as a cybersecurity “accelerant” for partners.
