Cork In The News

By Cork Protection & Liongard

If you’re an MSP today, you’re under more pressure than ever. Cyber attacks against your clients are getting more frequent, and threat actors are getting better at their jobs. Insurance is getting stricter. Clients want answers. And regulators want receipts.

Everything is more expensive and time-consuming, and clients don’t want to pay. That’s why you can’t afford to stick with the traditional way of doing cybersecurity—relying on best practices, documenting what you can, and hoping the rest doesn’t break.

What matters now is visibility with context. Documentation with proof. And protection that isn’t just about prevention—it’s about resilience.

That’s what this collaboration is about. Why, Cork and Liongard exist, and it starts with a simple question:

Can you prove you’ve done the right thing—before, during, and after an incident?

The Visibility Problem

Most MSPs can’t answer that. Not because they’re careless—but because the tools haven’t been built to work together. You’ve got one platform for asset tracking. Another for tickets. One for insurance docs. One for backups.

Liongard’s CEO Michelle Accardi says it best: “We’re democratizing data so MSPs of all sizes can finally deliver enterprise-grade service—without needing an enterprise-sized team.”

Liongard automates the process of collecting and making sense of data across all systems—Office 365, firewalls, antivirus, backup configs, you name it. It reads the engine codes of your entire IT infrastructure. Every change. Every misconfiguration. Every setting drift.

But visibility alone doesn’t solve the problem.

The Protection Gap

Cork’s CEO Dan Candee points out that 94% of cyber incidents are caused by the wrong click. And most tools only show you what’s there. Cork shows you what’s missing—and whether that gap could cost you money.

Cork is built to filter all those signals through the lens of financial risk. Not just technical exposure. If something goes wrong, who pays? Cork ties every risk back to an insurer’s checklist. It maps posture to CIS controls. And it backs it all with up to $500,000 in instant cyber warranty coverage.

Dan says, “Wall Street already has protection. Cork is built for Main Street.”

Better Together: A Car Metaphor

The best way to understand how Liongard and Cork work together is to think like a mechanic.

  • Liongard is your mechanic, inspecting wear and tear, running diagnostics, and giving you a full report on what’s going on underneath the hood. 
  • Cork is your dashboard alert system, insurance policy, and airbag. It tells you what matters right now. It pays if something fails. And it protects your clients even when things go sideways.

One tells you what’s under the hood. The other tells you how bad the damage will be—and who’s writing the check.

The Cyber Confidence Formula

When you bring Liongard and Cork together, you get what we call the Cyber Confidence Formula:

Visibility + Validation + Protection = Cyber Confidence

You see the risk (Liongard). You validate that it’s covered (Cork). And you protect the business—with evidence, accountability, and cash on the table.

In this joint webinar, Michelle and Dan will break it all down:

  • How to spot misconfigurations before they become liabilities
  • How to map technical posture to insurance eligibility
  • How to close the loop on risk—from discovery to financial recovery
