  • Trust but verify isn’t just a phrase—it’s a survival strategy when handling any financial transaction.
  • Cyber insurance is evolving, but not fast enough to keep pace with the threat landscape.
  • AI is entering the chat, helping managed service providers (MSPs) plug gaps and respond faster.
  • Expert advice is no longer optional. Business owners need to lean on trusted advisors for real-time guidance.
  • Community resilience is power. Knowledge-sharing and support networks can turn the tide.
