David Meister On Securing MSP AI (EP 1026)

Shadow AI and Copilot can leak your clients’ salaries and sensitive data long before an attacker hits the network, and in this conversation I dig in with Check Point’s David Meister on how MSPs can actually secure AI agents, browsers, and end users without swapping out their whole stack.

Pax8 Beyond 2026

I caught up with David Meister from Check Point live at Pax8 Beyond to dig into what they’ve really been building for MSPs the last few years. You probably know them from Avanan on the email side, but David walks me through how Check Point has pulled together Avanan, Perimeter 81, Cyberint, and the Lakera AI security acquisition into a single, multi‑tenant MSP platform with consumption‑based billing, no minimums, and no lock‑ins.
