Welcome to Root Access Guy

Hi, I’m Brian Fulcher — IT pro, security strategist, and MSP problem-solver. After growing up in the rural foothills of North Carolina and having the chance to work and travel in some of the biggest cities, I’ve learned how to bridge the gap between small-town practicality and enterprise-scale IT solutions.

This blog is where I share real-world IT and MSP best practices, practical security strategies, and the occasional bit of tech humor. Whether you’re running a small business or managing large-scale infrastructure, you’ll find tips, tools, and insights you can put into action right away.

Thanks for stopping by — let’s make IT work smarter, not harder.

Why It Hurts the MSP Space Trust shockwave: Headlines trigger client anxiety. Even fully patched orgs get the “Are we safe?” calls. Operational drag: War-room time: scanning, change w...

I’m two days into my new project: 8 Days of Azure PaaS šŸŽ‰ Over 8 days, I’m refreshing and documenting my knowledge of Microsoft Azure’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings. Each day I dive into a different piece — App Services, Functions, SQL Database, AKS, Logic Apps, and more — while sharing notes, gotchas, and hands-on examples. šŸ’” This is a learn-in-public project . I’m sharing the journey openly — the good, the confusing, and the “aha!” moments — along with the learning sources I review. šŸ‘‰ Read Day 1 — What is PaaS? šŸ‘‰ Read Day 2 — Azure App Services šŸ”¹ Why I’m Doing This In a recent interview, I realized I’ve been deep in the MSP world, IT security, RMM tools, and PSA platforms — but needed a refresher on Azure’s PaaS side.
