Mobile devices have transformed workplace productivity by offering anytime, anywhere access to business resources. However, this convenience also brings significant security risks. Many organizations mistakenly believe their Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions are sufficient, but MDM alone can&#8217;t fully protect against the threats targeting mobile devices. This security gap is an opportunity for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to add mobile security to their services, reducing customer risk and increasing revenue without additional headcount. Join Eva-Maria Elya from Lookout Security, Chris Prewitt from Inversion6, and Theresa Lanowitz from LevelBlue as they dive into:



<ul>
<li>Why mobile endpoints are often overlooked in security strategies</li>



<li>Common vulnerabilities and attack methods targeting mobile devices</li>



<li>How MSPs can capitalize on the growing demand for mobile EDR</li>
</ul>



Don&#8217;t miss this opportunity to learn how to strengthen your mobile security and tap into new revenue streams.

Mobile Endpoints are Your Customer’s Weakest Link: How MSPs Can Protect and Profit

Navigating today&#8217;s complex, ever-evolving business landscape requires knowing how to navigate regulations, risks and complex decision-making, especially for customers in highly regulated industries. To do this effectively, organizations need an integrated approach to governance, risk management and compliance (GRC). With businesses becoming increasingly digitized and day-to-day operations spread across multiple computing environments, cyber risk considerations have become a core component of a modern-day GRC strategy. And MSSPs play a key role in helping customers streamline their governance, risk management and compliance efforts.  Join Liam Downward, CYRISMA&#8217;s chief product officer, as he explains how MSSPs can leverage CYRISMA&#8217;s suite of GRC capabilities to provide gap assessments, improve governance and decision-making, mitigate risk and maintain compliance.  You&#8217;ll learn how CYRISMA&#8217;s comprehensive feature-set can help you bridge the compliance gap for clients across industries, streamline GRC activities and drive additional revenue.  The session will cover: 



<ul>
<li>The basics of GRC</li>



<li>Why cyber risk has become a critical part of enterprise risk in recent years</li>



<li>How you can help clients align cyber risk management and compliance with business goals for long-term strategic gains</li>



<li>Managing compliance more efficiently</li>



<li>How to simplify communication between business-focused and cyber-focused executives</li>
</ul>

Governance, Risk and Compliance

Simplifying GRC for Cybersecurity Professionals

AI went mainstream in 2023 with the introduction of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT. As your average person started to see the power of the latest AI technology in their everyday lives, they were exposed to what cybersecurity vendors have been working on for years. Today, AI-embedded cybersecurity products are the norm, however, the power and advantages they give security analysts are not well-defined or known.



In this webinar, we will:



<ul>
<li>Unpack the evolution of AI</li>



<li>Describe the impact of AI on current and future cybersecurity solutions&nbsp;</li>



<li>Discuss how MSSPs and MSPs can drive increased revenue streams by selecting the right AI-embedded cybersecurity solutions</li>



<li>Demonstrate how Stellar Cyber and its Multi-Layer AI(™) are leading the AI charge in cybersecurity</li>
</ul>

Why and How AI Will Drive the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Solutions

According to The Future SOC Survey, 67% of managed security providers who use an Automation Solution have increased their output, without adding headcount. So, what happened to the other 33%?



The managed security industry is changing rapidly, creating intense competition and pressure to deliver. As a result, many managed security providers have adopted SOAR or other Automation solutions. However, there is a lot of debate within the managed security industry over the types of automation solutions available, the role of AI, and what it means for the future of the SOC. And don’t forget the effects on service offerings, differentiation, and growth opportunities.



Join Incident Response Researcher, Pierre Noujeim, with Seth Fox, VP of Sales at D3, and Jessica C. Davis, Editorial Director at MSSP Alert, as they discuss: • The benefits of Automation for managed security providers • The myths and realities of SOAR, Hyperautomation, XDR and ITSM • Key considerations that managed security firms should have before engaging an Automation provider

Automation And The Future SOC

The hype cycle surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) is in high gear – though it may not feel that way, considering where the IT industry is at the moment.

Climb Out of the Valley of Despair: A Roadmap to Successful AI Innovation with Dell AI Factory

We&#8217;re bombarded with massive amounts of information every day. From daily news and stocks to the latest box scores, keeping up with it all is a full-time job.&nbsp; Your IT infrastructure is no different. Millions of logs circulate through your IT systems, including firewall data, system logs, and endpoint events to name a few.&nbsp; Security Information and Event Management, or SIEM for short, was designed to make sense of it all. Centralizing logs is at the heart of what SIEM was meant to do. But does just having a SIEM and organizing your data help if there&#8217;s still too much noise to make sense of it all?&nbsp; Come join us as we explore SIEM&#8217;s origins, the challenges it faces today, and how we can filter out the noise without compromising security.



In this webinar, we&#8217;ll dive into:



<ul>
<li>How SIEM began: Get a deeper understanding of how SIEM started.</li>



<li>Where it went wrong: Dive into the issues legacy SIEM models face.</li>



<li>What needs to happen: Discover why most organizations and MSPs need a different approach to SIEM.</li>



<li>How we&#8217;re changing things: We&#8217;ve heard what our partners have asked for, and we&#8217;re breaking down what we&#8217;ve come up with as a community to solve the SIEM problem.</li>
</ul>



Save your seat today and see how you can take another layer of hassle out of your security with our Managed SIEM.

Security Management

Solving the SIEM Problem: A Hard Reset on Legacy Solutions

High profile computing disruptions – man-made, natural disasters, and security-caused &#8211; demonstrate the value of cyber resilience beyond a shadow of a doubt. Despite multiple high-profile cyberattacks and increasing awareness of just how catastrophic widespread interruptions can be, businesses still aren&#8217;t as resilient as they should be. Cybersecurity is key to enabling safer innovation and better business outcomes, but most organizations still admit they treat cybersecurity and cyber resilience as an afterthought. For MSSPs, learning how to present cybersecurity and cyber resilience as critical to business operations and prioritizing risk management can be a competitive differentiator, drive new business growth and better protect customers against outages, recover more quickly from incidents and interruptions and secure data and intellectual property.



Join cyber resilience expert Theresa Lanowitz, chief evangelist, LevelBlue, as she explores five concrete steps MSSPs can take to promote, deliver and achieve true cyber resilience for themselves and their customers. In this live webinar, Lanowitz will explore results from LevelBlue&#8217;s 2024 Futures Report: Cyber Resilience and outline how MSSPs can leverage findings from the research to better prepare and protect their customers.



In this webinar, you&#8217;ll learn:



<ul>
<li>Common organizational attitudes about cybersecurity and cyber resilience</li>



<li>How to identify barriers to cyber resilience</li>



<li>How to be secure by design</li>



<li>How to align cybersecurity investment with business priorities</li>



<li>The need to build a support ecosystem</li>



<li>Why MSSPs should continuously adapt cybersecurity strategies</li>



<li>And more.</li>
