[00:00:00] It's Friday, February 23rd, 2024, and I'm Dave Sobel.
[00:00:06] Three things to know today.
[00:00:08] 2024, the year of the enterprise browser, a new possible front line in cybersecurity.
[00:00:14] NVIDIA and Enable earnings, Synchro CEO, and what is MSPX and our Friday big ideas.
[00:00:22] Plus, stick around to the end for some pushback from a listener.
[00:00:26] This is the Business of Tech. Cybersecurity companies and investors are anticipating that enterprise browsers with built-in security features will be embraced by workplaces in 2024. These browsers allow IT teams to monitor network traffic and block malicious files while allowing employees to work from any device. The increasing targeting of browsers by hackers has highlighted the need for advanced, enhanced
[00:01:44] security measures. Now with all the buzz in the MSP space about Screen Connect, I didn't want to miss the AT&T outage. AT&T has stated that the massive cell outage affecting over a million customers was caused by a technical error during network expansion, not a cyber attack. The outage prompted federal agencies, including the FBI, to investigate.
[00:03:01] AT&T has apologized for the incident and is taking steps to prevent future occurrences.
[00:03:08] Why do we care?
[00:04:04] The dominance in the AI chips market has contributed to its strong earnings, and its CEO believes that accelerated computing and generative AI have reached a tipping point.
[00:04:10] Enable has announced its fourth quarter and full year 2023 results.
[00:04:15] Total year revenue growth was 13.5%, subscription revenue growth was 13.7%, and it adjusted
[00:04:22] even a margin of 34%. Founded this year by Matt Jesbeck, MSPX aims to address the industry gap and tap into the growing need for digital transformation and efficient service management. Why do we care? Invidia up a bit? That's a remarkable earnings call. That's a crazy growth market. Now you tell me if Enables projected 10% growth is exciting.
[00:05:42] Disclosure?
[00:05:43] I'm a shareholder.
[00:05:45] A tip of the hat to Emily Glass.
[00:05:47] She's always been a class act. engineering as a profession may soon end. Just started. It also mentions the efforts of Proplexity.AI in finding new ways to build relations with AI partners. With all the hype around cybersecurity, I wanted to point to an article in the information. Cybersecurity providers are facing a slowdown in growth as companies feel they can't afford
[00:07:01] to keep increasing their security budgets annually.
[00:07:04] In response, big vendors like Microsoft offer of partnering, the end of third-party cookies, and the opportunities presented by generative AI.
[00:08:21] Why do we care? applications, networks, or devices, the results and information being accessed without authorization." End quote. If hackers are in customer systems, I feel comfortable with the word breach, and we have reports now of hackers deploying ransomware with this vulnerability. Sysa specifically noted that yesterday.
[00:09:40] But the poster does have a solid point in that from ConnectWise's perspective, they
[00:09:44] only have an exploit.
[00:09:46] It's their customers easy and the best way to support the show and help us grow. You can also check out our Patreon, where you can join the Business of Tech community
