[94] How to do Password Management, MFA and Security Right in Your MSP

In this interview, Richard speaks to Chris Tate, global strategic alliance director at MYKI. The company offers a two-factor authentication and password management solution specifically designed for MSPs, MSSPs and VARs. 

Chris worked in multiple MSP businesses as a service manager, a technical director, and a Director of Product Strategy. He also founded the Totally MSP website and worked as the former Business Development Director at Datto. 

He’s also a long-time member of CompTIA, the UK channel community, and currently serves on the Executive Council. In 2020, he was the CompTIA UK Spotlight award winner. 

They talk about how MYKI works, why they don’t store any passwords anywhere, even in the cloud and which platforms it works on. Chris also explains the consequences of bad password management. 

Chris also talks through deploying the tool to multiple client sites, reconfiguring MYKI to protect your data, the MFA and Guard features, and why all managed service providers should use a password manager themselves.
