Dear ChannelPro Readers,
In every great monster movie, there’s a moment when the creature emerges. Even though the scientists have been concerned for days, it’s too late. The city panics, the military scrambles, and everyone realizes that the threat is bigger than they ever imagined possible.
That’s not far from what’s happening in the IT channel today. There are massive cybersecurity challenges rising out of the waves, and MSPs need to be ready to face them head-on with advanced cybersecurity strategies.
ChannelPro’s cybersecurity-focused content is called DEFEND. What started as a popular in-person event series has evolved to include guides, checklists, video content, and a lot more. The goal is to lift the IT services community by sharpening your knowledge and helping you build defenses strong enough to handle whatever stomps your way.
Enter: Special Report Edition 4
The ChannelPro Special Report Edition 4, 2025 is key to that endeavor. We looked at the advanced technology and techniques you need to harness to protect your clients and win more business. Some key highlights include:
- Tackling the $24 billion market of physical security and cybersecurity, an opportunity too big for MSPs to ignore.
- Exploring how cybersecurity certifications can help win your next sales proposal.
- Taking a hard look at BCDR playbooks and identifying what is often missing.
- Discussing new ways to sell compliance to reluctant clients, with a special focus on PCI-DSS.
Clearly, the can’t-miss article is Advanced Cybersecurity Tools Every IT Provider Needs. In it, we break down the platforms that give your team deeper visibility, the controls that shut down common entry points, the solutions that strengthen compliance and client trust, and the layers that blunt evolving threats.
This edition’s lineup is built to help you not just survive but emerge as the hero. No matter your struggle, ChannelPro is your partner in the fight. We invite you to leverage our free resources, share our successes, and sound the alarm if you see something amiss.
In the IT channel, the monsters never stop. But then again, neither do we.
