Held at TopGolf in Brooklyn Center, Minn., the one-day event featured cybersecurity educational sessions and peer networking.

Though the managed services vendor has a toe in the security water through steps like its alliance with email security vendor Vade Secure, business development exec Rob Rae (pictured) says it’s biding its time before rolling out anything more ambitious.

The new service is designed to help MSPs identify, analyze, and prevent vulnerabilities for their clients.

According to CISO John Ford (pictured), the vendor is teaching its coder security best practices, rolling out a new team of security “champions,” and engaging in M&A discussions with over half a dozen vendors.

The backup and security vendor also announced forthcoming plans to enhance existing integrations between Cyber Cloud and ConnectWise’s RMM and PSA solutions.

The new functionality, which is the first of its kind for Beachhead, is designed to boost technician productivity by providing alerts, status information, and billing data from directly inside the Datto product, rather than requiring them to swivel between consoles.

The new software helps policyholders verify that they’re in compliance with due diligence requirements before filing an application, and then document compliance later when filing claims.

Technicians can now initiate remote support sessions from directly within the Sophos Mobile interface.

The SOC-as-a-service vendor’s portfolio of services and products is now available exclusively through U.S. and Canadian partners.

A new sales team, managed security service catalog, vendor incubation program, and training facility are key ways the distributor will fulfill its part of that bargain, according to security executive Alex Ryals (pictured).
