Remember Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? 

Yeah, the one with booby traps around every corner. Spikes. Snakes. Fire pits. A crumbling rope bridge. Every step was unpredictable. Every move had consequences. The treasure? Locked down tighter than a bank vault. And you needed to be Indiana Jones—whip, grit, and all—to even stand a chance at making it through alive. 

That, my friend, is what real defense in depth looks like. 

So Why Is Your Stack Built Like a Children’s Museum? 

You’ve got EDR, RMM, your documentation system, maybe even some patching and remote support tools—all from the same vendor. 

Congrats. You just handed the master key to your kingdom to one company. One API. One vulnerability. One bad day away from your entire MSP being flattened. 

That’s not defense in depth. That’s playing security on easy mode—and hackers are leveling up every month. And let’s not kid ourselves: you’re not Indiana Jones. You’re the guy who set up the booby traps but used the same blueprint for all of them. Predictable. Repetitive. Easy to bypass. 

Cheap Security Is Expensive 

We see it all the time. MSPs trying to cut corners: 

  • “Oh, we’ll just bundle it all with this one vendor.”
  • “It’s cheaper this way.”
  • “It’s convenient for our techs.”

You know what else is convenient? Ransomware. It’s real convenient for hackers when you don’t segment your network, test your firewall, or manage privileged accounts properly. It’s super convenient when you leave your crown jewels—your clients’ data—unguarded behind a wall of “just good enough” tools. 

Security isn’t cheap. If it was, your clients wouldn’t need you. 

You have to invest. You have to train. And most importantly, you have to sell the value of security to your clients—because if they don’t get it, you’re on the hook when things go sideways. 

You Don’t Just Need Tools. You Need a Strategy. 

Here’s where most MSPs mess up: they buy tech, not protection. And they never learn how to communicate risk to the decision-makers who write the checks. 

You want to really protect yourself and your clients? 

Stop guessing. Start communicating. 

Let’s Talk 

Book a 15-minute consultation with us. We’ll show you: 

  • How to build a real defense-in-depth strategy (one that doesn’t crumble under pressure),
  • How to stop using one-size-fits-none vendor stacks,
  • And how to talk to stakeholders in a way that makes them write checks instead of excuses.

Because you’re not selling firewalls. You’re selling survival.

Don’t wait until you’re Indiana Jones without the whip. Let’s bulletproof your stack before the next trap is sprung.
