The Doctor's In: Treating America's Greatest Cyber Security Threat
Many have compared the “Roaring Twenties” from the last century, to the 2020s of the 21st century. The new freedoms of this era (similar to 100 years ago) have caused disruptions, mainly as the Internet ‘flattens’ our world and accelerates outcomes that can be felt around the globe. One certainty, no matter how the new economic, political, and social structures will evolve, is the appearance of bad actors that will continue to use cyber warfare and cyber insecurity to their benefit. This book details in an easy-to-read format how we can best protect our “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” in our new digital age.

Great book
Timely content for everyone who utilizes technology. The cadence of the audio book is easy to listen to in a convenient format. Highly recommend!
Alan has a great writing style that is easy to digest while getting powerful points across. Anyone who works with MSPs should read this book!
All businesses, big or small, must use technology to function. Doctors offices, contractors, grocery stores, schools, etc. all rely on MSPs to make sure their organization can run efficiently. This book is a perfect read to understand what an MSP does and conveys the true value of an MSP in layman's terms.
"The Doctor's In" answers all the questions that business owners may have about what managed service providers (MSPs) do and the benefits of a relationship with these professionals. The book details why businesses of all sizes must address cybersecurity, a service that MSPs offer, but it also reminds businesses that for IT systems to work as expected, they need to be monitored and maintained -- just as people need preventive care to stay healthy.Although the book covers technical topics, Weinberger writes so any reader can understand and appreciate the essential work that MSPs do to keep IT systems -- and businesses -- running.
