Cyber Resilience, AI Threats & MSP Security Blind Spots| DailyCyber 287 with Andrew Scott Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than many organizations can adapt. MSPs and SMBs are increasingly being targeted by sophisticated attackers using automation, AI-assisted tools, and highly coordinated attack chains that exploit weaknesses across modern IT environments. In this episode of DailyCyber, Brandon Krieger speaks with Andrew Scott — Field CISO at Todyl — about the real cyber risks facing service providers today and why organizations must rethink how they approach cybersecurity strategy. Episode Overview Cybersecurity has shifted from a prevention-first mindset to one that increasingly focuses on resilience. Attackers are operating faster, using automation and AI to scale attacks, and targeting MSP ecosystems as high-value entry points into multiple organizations. Andrew Scott shares insights from working directly with MSPs and partners in the field, helping them strengthen their security posture and evolve their cybersecurity strategies. The conversation explores how providers can move beyond prevention-only models toward security architectures designed to detect, respond to, and recover from attacks quickly. The discussion also examines the rapidly expanding role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. While AI is enabling attackers to automate phishing campaigns, reconnaissance, and vulnerability discovery, it is also providing powerful capabilities for defenders to improve detection, automate SOC operations, and strengthen threat intelligence analysis. Andrew’s experience spans enterprise security architecture, SOC transformation, and threat intelligence leadership across major organizations including Leidos, CrowdStrike, and IBM. Now working closely with MSPs as a Field CISO at Todyl, Andrew helps organizations rethink their cybersecurity strategy, identify blind spots in their security programs, and adopt modern platforms designed to simplify and strengthen security operations.
