“As small and medium businesses continue to collect, generate, and store critical data, this data is not only an attractive target for threat actors but also subject to the ever-evolving regulatory and data protection requirements, creating an additional challenge of ensuring ongoing compliance,” said Epstein. “I look forward to working with the Datto leadership team as we empower MSPs worldwide with innovative security solutions to protect their clients’ data, building their cyber resilience while reducing the complexity of IT.”
