PHOTOS: CRN Channel Meets Security Melbourne 2024
Partners unpacked security opportunities.
A big thanks to tech partners for joining us in Melbourne recently at CRN Channel Meets to dig into each other’s cybersecurity challenges and opportunities.
Here is a far-from-comprehensive snapshot of some areas the conversations touched on:
- one partner said a vendors’ 24x7 SOC operations had doubled the price of his business’s cyber offering, but said the scalability was worth it
- while some partners consider outsourcing 24x7 detection and response, one partner spoke about how his business had been taking its cyber response beyond those commercial services through acquisition of forensic cyber expertise
- a significant cybersecurity partner was preparing to take an SMB1001 aligned offering to market
- to reduce risk, partners were encouraged to do due diligence on how AI was being embedded into their technology stacks
- use of a detection and response vendor’s cyber scores to get discounts on insurance in the US had caught one partner's attention
- a partner with an architecture/arts background spoke about the value of transferrable skills from non-cyber professions
A big thank you to the partners that shared their insights. And a big thank you to the sponsors that made this event possible: Ingram Micro, Fortinet, NinjaOne, Sophos, Barracuda.
