Brian Weiss on Identities, ZTNA, and Zero Trust (EP 970)
Live from Zero Trust World 2026, Uncle Marv and Brian Weiss break down the latest ThreatLocker updates, including its new Access Control capability for secure, policy‑driven access to Microsoft 365 and internal resources. They unpack how this impacts cybersecurity for MSPs, especially around identity protection, device compliance, and replacing legacy VPN or ZTNA solutions. Perfect for IT professionals looking to level up managed services, IT compliance, and zero‑trust security strategies.

Brian Weiss joins Uncle Marv live in Orlando to reveal how he evaluates new cybersecurity tools, rolls them into his managed services stack, and why ThreatLocker’s new Access Control might change how you think about ZTNA and device compliance.
