Letter from the Publisher: Another Season, Another Reason Cybersecurity Is Everyone’s Job

Cybersecurity is no longer just an opportunity; it’s the center of gravity for MSP growth.

Summer is here, but the pace of change in our industry isn’t slowing.

So far this year, ChannelPro has been on the road in Orlando, Columbus, Charlotte and Chicago with our LIVE and DEFEND events. In every city, we meet driven IT service providers looking for practical ways to grow, differentiate and stay ahead.

One theme is unmistakable: cybersecurity is no longer just an opportunity; it’s the center of gravity for MSP growth.

At the same time, global instability is making your job harder. Geopolitical tensions are disrupting supply chains, amplifying cyber risk and exposing just how fragile our connected world can be. That puts MSPs squarely on the front lines to protect clients, maintain uptime and manage risk in real time.

Special Report: Cybersecurity Resources for MSPs

In this year’s ChannelPro Special Report, Edition 2, we focus on what that reality means for you. That includes:

  • How attackers are weaponizing AI. Here are some ways MSPs are responding with smarter detection, automation, and defensive use of AI.
  • Why misconfiguration, not missing features, is behind many SMB breaches. We look at how MSPs can shift from selling tools to delivering measurable security outcomes through better configuration, monitoring, and management.
  • How MSPs can uplevel clients’ incident response planning through practical steps such as assessments and third-party support.

These are practical, actionable reads designed for today’s threat landscape.

Compliance, AI and more

We also go beyond security, with insights on outsourcing best practices, navigating a CMMC audit as an MSSP and using AI to improve margins while elevating customer experience. And in this month’s PeertoPeer profile, Solarus Technologies’ Matthew Nikravesh shares how a customer-first mindset has delivered real results for clients, employees and partners alike.

Thanks for reading ChannelPro. I hope this issue delivers ideas you can put to work right away. I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event.
