Cyberthreats continue to grow, and the increasing number of security tools being deployed by organizations have introduced operational complexities that make modern business more vulnerable to breaches than ever before. Protecting the endpoint and associated data is a foundational element in crafting a cybersecurity framework that neutralizes digital dangers — and for managed service providers, that means ensuring your solution stack includes security orchestration, automation and response at the core.
Join George Mellor, Channel Futures contributor and CEO of KloudReadiness, and Stephan Tallent, Fortinet’s Sr. Director MSSP & Service Enablement, as they explore how MSPs and MSSPs can create or extend services portfolios to encompass SOAR and the automated managed detection and response (MDR) services that today’s marketplace demands. Topics include:
- How the continued evolution of cyberthreats poses unprecedented hazards to businesses across all verticals and geographies
- Why automated, real-time protection and orchestrated incident response are increasingly vital weapons in the fight against these advanced threats
- How SOAR impacts MSP security operations and profitability
