Jay McBain, will give a brief overview of the state of the cybersecurity market and trends in the channel. Are you going to where the "puck" is headed? Compare your notes!

What you need to know about the latest government regulation requirements and how exactly do you and your clients get into compliance as well as stay compliant moving forward? You have choices. Third-party organizations can help but there are also tools to help you manage the process. In this session you will explore the options and some automated ways to help you manage this complex process.

If compliance matters to you and it should depending on where you do business, then this will help a lot!

Staying on top of the latest in data security assessments and categorizations are mission critical in risk management, saving time and costs.

This area is undergoing constant innovations as several vendors try to solve this massive problem.

1. How do you locate, identify and classify all of your data, wherever it lives?

2. How do you analyze and classify the various types of data to determine the level of security protection each requires.

3. How do you perform forensics after a data breach to know exactly what and how much data has been compromised to guide your legal reporting, insurance and mediation requirements.

Automating Cyber Security? This might sound like a pipe dream, but with certain tools this has turned into a reality. Let's quickly dive into the world of cyber security and see how two solutions are at the forefront of the cyber frontier game and how you can harness their powers to protect your business.

What should do and not do after you are breached?

How do you REALLY know if your current security stack, process and people are producing the optimal cybersecurity protection for you and your clients?

How do you choose the most appropriate and effective technology stack with so many moving parts in maintaining the best possible cybersecurity protection?

It's far easier said than done. The ramifications of selecting or keeping the incorrect stack (even one component) might be catastrophic for both the MSP and the client.

Even if you start with the proper technology stack, as solutions improve and hackers evolve, components of your technology stack may lose efficacy and become obsolete. Other technologies may be a far superior replacement.

How can you determine if your current cybersecurity stack is working properly? Do you base it on whether or not you are hacked? Hacked is bad? Not hacked is good? Maybe run an expensive PEN testing service?

Failure in your technology stack can be a ticking time bomb...

New tools are assisting in the monitoring and identification of possible problems in each component of the technology stack. You will also learn how to "stress-test" your actual cybersecurity technology stack.

At the end of the day, all channel partners want to sell more and keep their customer longer. Today, you will get the inside scoop from the experts who have done it.

Why is this important? If you conduct some research, you may discover that end-users would seriously consider switching managed service providers if the rival could demonstrate that they can give significantly superior cybersecurity protection.

Maintaining your competitive edge is crucial to customer retention. Most understand that to accomplish this, you must deliver the right outcomes by staying on top of the technology stack, people, and processes, while keeping your clients updated! That requires proper reports to demonstrate what you are doing to protect them every day to keep "justifying" the money that they pay you each month! It also requires you to continually improve the security posture of your clients and sometimes that may require you to make the case for them to invest more.

How do you make the cybersecurity business case with your clients and align your company with your clients' interests to win more deals and remain sticky?

In this session, Dave Monk, CEO - Cybersecurity Expert, Speaker, Investor, Author - ArcSource will explore his insights from the book he recently wrote called "Cybersecurity Strategy"

What should MSPs look for in a managed cybersecurity services partner beyond 24/7 SOC, expertise, and tools management? In this session, we explore the criticality of automation, correlation, triangulation, integration and normalization in enhancing cybersecurity outcomes to truly operationalize your clients’ security! It’s time to take ACTION!

After you have selected your cybersecurity technology stack, people resources, skills, certifications, partner-to-partner network and other resources, how do you orchestrate to build solutions, quotes and execute the contracts?

You will experience one platform that can help you manage all of your cybersecurity activities and requirements to deploy.

Check out 3-minute pitches about solutions. The vendors will all be around for the entire day so you can seek them out to explore further and become a partner.

You will get the "one-mile" high overview of the various solutions and business tools. You will vote for a winner and have a chance to win some cash.

Note which vendors and tools seem to fit well with you then meet them in the afternoon in their golf bay to explore further, have a drink and play some games.

No pressure!

Exhibitors will be hosting their exclusive golf-bay area to showcase their solutions and do some fun golf games. Everyone will be networking. Drinks and snacks will be available.

Only for those who do NOT want to play Golf Games, you have an option to participate in a Mastermind Peer-Group whereby you collaborate with your peers to solve your pain points.

Usually, whoever is staying back will end up at the bar or for dinner to carry on the conversations.
