I know some truly wonderful infosec journalists but here's a thing I need help with: currently, there are essentially *no* news stories out there about MSPs, small business cybersecurity - anything really meaningful beyond "here's a puff piece on a commercial white paper that did sentiment analysis on 70 small biz owners and they're all scared of furrin hackerz" or PR releases on "Google just bought an MSP in Indonesia".
Is there a cyber journalist with a beat that doesn't focus on the big gov and F500 stories?
@Tarah
MSP is a "managed service provider" in case that helps anyone besides me.
"A managed service provider (MSP) is a third-party company that remotely manages a customer's information technology (IT) infrastructure and end-user systems"
I aspire to do for initialisms and jargon what alt text does for images.
@shansterable @Tarah this. So much this! Thank you.
@shansterable @Tarah as we all should! In the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), abbreviations are considered at level AAA, alt text at level A, while legislation that references WCAG targets level AA.
What all that means is it’s considered essential to use alt text, while expanding abbreviations I’d like a stretch goal.

@shansterable @Tarah whereas MSB is medium and small businesses, easy to confuse!

In my life's context, MSP is the code for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.
