Podcast EP291 - The Real Lessons Learned From a £500k MSP Ransomware Attack

What would your MSP do if a ransomware attack cost your business half a million pounds? 💸 That isn't a hypothetical question. It happened. In this week's episode of The IT Experts Podcast, I sit down with Ken Roulston as he shares the full story behind one of the toughest periods of his career and the lessons every MSP owner needs to hear. Here are a few takeaways: ⚠️ Why one vulnerable client became the entry point for the attackers. ⚠️ Why having backups is not enough if you've never tested them properly. ⚠️ Why enforcing minimum security standards across every client protects your business as much as theirs. ️⚠️ The three non-negotiable actions every MSP should take today to reduce their cyber risk. This conversation is honest, practical and packed with lessons that could save your business from making the same costly mistakes.
