Did SonicOS 7.3 Stop Akira? (EP 895)
from Uncle Marv's IT Business Podcast (Real Talk for IT Pros & MSPs) · host Marvin Bee
After conversations with Cory Clark of SonicWall and Reddit’s MSP community, I lay out the facts and why poor practices—not firewalls—are usually the weak link. I also share my hands-on Ubiquiti deployments (cameras, gateways, doorbells), how Cable Finder through Telarus helped me sign two clients on the spot, and review the CoolPie 3-in-1 SSD Cloner for NVMe drives. And yes—another Florida Man story.Companies, Products & Tools MentionedSonicWall — https://www.sonicwall.comUbiquiti / UniFi — https://ui.comFortinet — https://www.fortinet.comTelarus — https://www.telarus.comCable Finder — https://cablefinder.comWindstream (now Unity) — https://www.gounity.comRuckus — https://www.commscope.com/ruckus/CoolPie 3-in-1 SSD Cloner (Amazon): https://amzn.to/4mQHfgjSOHO Touch M.2 NVMe Duplicator 1-7 Cloner & Wiper: https://amzn.to/4ml00spProofpoint — https://www.proofpoint.comFlorida Man Clings to Hood of Car in Cocoahttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-man-clings-hood-car-speeding-down-road-driver-watches-horror-really-scaryhttps://www.clickorlando.com/video/news/2025/08/20/man-seen-clinging-to-car-hood-in-cocoa-in-critical-condition-after-crash/SPONSORS:Livestream Partner, ThreatLocker: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/threatlockerLegacy Partner, NetAlly: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/netally/Internet Provider, Rythmz: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/rythmzProduction Gear Partner, Liongard: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/liongardTravel Partner: Bvoip: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/bvoipTravel Partner: TruGrid: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/trugridDigital Partner, Designer Ready: http://itbusinesspodcast.com/designerreadySHOW MUSIC: Item Title: Upbeat & Fun Sports Rock LogoItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/upbeat-fun-sports-rock-logo-CSR3UETAuthor Username: AlexanderRufireItem License Code: 7X9F52DNMLSPONSOR MUSICItem Title: Upbeat CorporateItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/upbeat-corporate-HHAM5NZAuthor Username: music_waves_productionItem License Code: WXBA2N3UDP === Connect with Uncle Marv🌐 Website: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/🎙 Host: Marvin Bee🛒 Uncle Marv’s Amazon Store (gear & tools I recommend): https://amzn.to/3EiyKoZ☕ Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/itbusinesspodcastIf you found value in this episode, share it with another MSP, IT provider, or tech entrepreneur.
