This episode is about Argos OS, the platform made by Intelligent Automation, the company that makes this show. We are not neutral, so Silas is told to be as hard on it as he can. He puts Daniel's own argument to him: if every tool that can touch every client is a key ring, why build one platform?
Daniel answers, takes labelled shots at Kaseya and ConnectWise using the public record, and admits the gaps: no SOC 2 attestation, no ISO 27001 certification, no independent penetration test yet, and 36 of 188 tables in the security platform on an administrative-bypass role. Nothing here is purchasing advice.
In this episode
- The strongest objection to a one-platform approach, from Silas, and Daniel's answer: the danger is a vendor you cannot check, not a single console
- The public record on Kaseya (the July 2021 VSA attack and the coordinated-disclosure timeline) and on ConnectWise (two ScreenConnect flaws on CISA's known-exploited list, the May 2025 disclosure of suspected nation-state activity, and the October 2026 Cloud Backup incident), with fairness lines for both
- What IA does not hold yet: SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, an independent penetration test
- The 36-of-188 number: tables on an administrative-bypass role, and why Daniel says it should shrink
- Silas's four tests for any platform, scored out loud
- Five questions to put to any vendor, including us
