ASCII Group CEO on a Mission to Elevate Role of MSPs with New Book

Alan D. Weinberger, chairman and CEO of The ASCII Group, has published a book “illuminating to the general public how important a managed service provider is in maintaining the health of our economy and our infrastructure itself, in the new cyber security era.

Weinberger’s book, “The Doctor’s In: Treating America’s Greatest Cyber Security Threat,” explores “the ever-changing online world and how businesses can safeguard and equip themselves with the best protection—in the form of a Managed Service Provider,” the ASCII Group announcement says.

The book “explores how MSPs help us protect our ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ in our new digital age,” according to the ASCII Group announcement. The book also features forewords by cybersecurity experts Theresa Payton and Frank Abagnale.

“Alan has done an excellent job in helping the end-user to understand the necessity of the MSP in keeping the IT components of virtually every size company operating smoothly,” said Alan Bayles, a lawyer and businessman in New York City.

“Like a virologist today, there is no standing on past laurels when a criminal component is looking for new ways to get through the body or current IT defenses,” he said.
