iO™ News & Updates
In addition to our new Newsletter delivery and enhancements, we have a lot of exciting news and updates regarding new platform capabilities, training, and security and compliance tools.
Cybersecurity & Compliance News
Zero-day threats are always a worry, however we can't forget those that have simply never been patched. In this issue we discuss some threats that have been around for quite a while, one for 18+ years.
ISP Management & Updates
The end of the year is approaching and time and resources are going to become more and more limited and strained. Be sure to address these security and compliance needs sooner rather than later and make sure you have the time to complete them.
Partner Spotlight
Our "Partner Spotlight" section has officially started! Dive in with us as we highlight one of our premier MSP partners, Alterio.

SecCom Monthly - New Time & Place
We're excited to announce that iO™ SecCom Monthly is now being distributed through our new platform on the Input Output website. Starting this month, the newsletter will be published on the 1st Tuesday of each month, rather than the 1st calendar day. This change will help ensure consistent delivery and provide our subscribers with a convenient time to access and review each new issue.
With this new platform and adjusted release schedule, linking to additional articles and resources within each issue of iO™ SecCom Monthly will be much easier, enhancing the value we provide to our readers. Additionally, this change will simplify the process of reviewing previous issues, allowing subscribers to access past content more efficiently. We're also excited to introduce our new "Partner Spotlight" section, where we will highlight our premier partners, showcasing their contributions and expertise within the industry.
Please excuse any dust as the new platform's formatting and coding is till being worked on behind the scenes.
New Online Deliverly Platform
In addition to many changes on the website and our other delivery platforms, one of our most substantial, and exciting, changes is our new training and content delivery platform which is being fully integrated into our new website.
Coming soon, all training, videos, collateral, tools, and content will be provided directly through www.InputOutput.com once users log in.
This will provide direct access to all of their programs, compliance training, development courses, and current and updated content. This will also allow users to track their progress.
iO™ On the Horizon
As the new delivery platform comes online, we'll also be rolling out multiple exciting new features such as:
Integrated Coaching
Soon, you'll have direct access to our security and compliance architects and coaches right from your training and implementation programs. This will allow you to schedule time where you need it most.
Content Updates
The new platform will provide easy delivery of security and compliance tool updates ensuring that you always have access to the latest updates.
Webinares
Our team is putting together multiple security and compliance webinares that will allow for direct collaboration with our specialist and will be archived allowing users to review the content at their pace.
Group Coaching
Our group coaching platform is being finalized and will soon be rolled out for our various security and compliance programs. This will allow users a cost-effective way to get more direct coaching, and also access to a community of other business owers and leaders who are implementing and managing their own Information Security Programs.
