For solution providers, IT security holds enormous potential but is fraught with challenges. Customers are under a constant barrage of attacks and need partners to step up to defend their information, networks and devices. Today’s rapid state of innovation is making matters even worse. Through it all, partners know they must provide value to their customers or risk the relationship. Whether a traditional MSP or MSSP, everyone is trying to provide security solutions around firewalls, email filtering, disaster recovery, cloud protection, IoT, data loss, SD-related security and so much more. No single IT services firm can do it all given the multitude of services and tech skills required. Solution providers also a multitude of tech suppliers and vendors to choose from with each requiring an investment that must be carefully examined. So, MSPs and MSSPs need a better game plan. This workshop will help today’s solution providers understand their existing MSSP capabilities; define what they want to provide to bring customers value and develop an investment plan. MSPs cannot solve every IT security problem but need a sound strategic plan to have the right partnerships on hand to help their customers manage through this dangerous era.
