As the security threat landscape evolves, so, too, must the strategies that MSPs and solution providers deploy to defend their customers, data, and reputations. At the 2025 Channel Partners Conference & Expo and MSP Summit, cybersecurity content is more than a track on the agenda — it’s a mission-critical priority that’s woven throughout the entire event.
For MSP attendees, this year’s cybersecurity content was designed to help you stay ahead of relentless cyber threats, adapt to new threat vectors across cloud and edge environments, and elevate your value as a trusted security advisor to your clients.
Cyber in 2025: A Brave (and Risky) New World
With cybersecurity spending projected to hit nearly $80 billion, the message is clear: the stakes are rising. In 2025, MSPs face an increasingly complex environment where threats can come from anywhere. They can be bad actors exploiting SaaS platforms, vulnerabilities in supply chains, or AI-powered phishing attacks.
The Channel Partners agenda acknowledged this reality and arms MSPs with answers to questions that matter:
- What security frameworks should you adopt?
- What tools and vendors best align with your stack and customer base?
- How do you train your team — and your customers — to minimize risk?
- How do you turn security services into a profitable and sticky offering?
Expert-led Cybersecurity Content to Strengthen Your Stack
Whether you’re already offering managed security services or just getting started, the cybersecurity content at the CP Expo and MSP Summit offers critical insights, practical guidance, and strategic foresight.
Some of the cybersecurity themes include:
- Securing Multicloud and Edge Environments: As workloads move to more distributed environments, MSPs must understand how to secure infrastructure beyond traditional perimeters.
- MDR, XDR, and Beyond: What do today’s security acronyms really mean, and how do you choose the right tools for real-time threat detection and response?
- Cyber Insurance and Risk Management: Learn how to prepare your clients for compliance and coverage in an increasingly risk-averse world.
- The Business of Cybersecurity: From pricing and packaging to positioning and customer education, MSPs will get tips on building a profitable security practice.
- AI’s Double-edged Sword: AI is both a security threat and a tool. Experts will discuss how MSPs can use AI to detect threats, automate response, and predict risk.
Shark-infested Waters and How to Swim Through Them
A central theme at this year’s event is how MSPs can avoid “swimming with sharks” when it comes to security. That means equipping yourself with the right tools, training, and partnerships to confidently navigate today’s high-risk environment.
The event featured presentations from leading security vendors and service providers, including demos, best practices, and new product announcements. These are some of the top names in threat detection, Zero Trust, endpoint protection, identity access management, and more.
Building a Culture of Security — for You and Your Clients
Beyond the tech, one of the most valuable takeaways for MSPs will be strategies for fostering a culture of security within their own organizations — and instilling the same in their clients. This includes:
- Creating effective customer cybersecurity training programs
- Helping SMB clients meet compliance frameworks like NIST, HIPAA, and CMMC
- Developing internal incident response plans and breach protocols
- Educating staff on social engineering, password hygiene, and secure configurations
