MTMG's IT Roundtable with Dor Eisner: Ending Tool Sprawl with Identity-First, Agentic Security (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most MSPs are running ten disconnected tools to secure small businesses — and attackers who don't work in silos are exploiting the gaps. In this episode, Guardz co-founder and CEO Dor Eisner explains why identity is now the primary attack vector, how agentic detection and response automates tier-one triage without the noise, and why he believes the SIEM and its bottomless data lake are on the way out. MTMG's Paul Knittle and CISO Reed Savory dig into what "agentic" actually means in 2026, how co
MTMG's IT Roundtable with Frank Antonucci: Taming SaaS Sprawl and Shadow IT/AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most mid-market companies think they have a handle on their software stack. Then they run a discovery and find three to five times more apps than they knew about. In this episode, Frank Antonucci, Director of Partnerships at Torii, joins Paul Knittle and Joe McGuire to break down why SaaS sprawl and shadow IT have exploded in the AI era, and what CFOs and CIOs can do about it.

MTMG's IT Roundtable with Chris Smith of EmpellorCRM: Why CRM's Shouldn't Suck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chris Smith has spent almost 20 years rescuing CRM projects that went sideways, and he has a blunt read on why so many of them fail: companies treat CRM as a technology purchase instead of a business strategy. In this episode he walks through the Propeller methodology his team built after watching a nine-year banking consortium client get whipsawed every time leadership changed, and explains how stripping emotion out of the decision and replacing it with data got one leadership team aligned for
MTMG's IT Roundtable with Tim Colwell: The Case for Peer-Powered IT Decisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim Colwell, Executive Vice President at AOTMP, joins the show to explain why technology leaders are turning to peer networks instead of solo research to make faster, better-informed decisions. Tim breaks down how AOTMP's vendor-agnostic Advisory Council helps IT, finance, and mobility management professionals cut through mixed information on topics like AI adoption, BYOD versus corporate-owned device strategy, and wireline decommissioning. He also explains why AOTMP never takes vendor commissio
