Firmus scraps $5 billion IPO; Triskele Labs names head of cybersecurity GRC; PwC Australia launches cyber managed services

View online

Editor's Note

I’m looking for Sydney-based MSPs that have moved beyond the AI basics many MSPs are familiar with and are seeing material business outcomes. Are you willing to answer a Q&A about this for a story aiming to cut through the hype? Here is the Q&A.

I'm interested in what you're actually building, the material business outcomes, and perhaps what you're changing, or stopping doing, deciding, measuring or selling around it.

We'll also discuss this at our MSP Index event on December 3 in Sydney. If you'd like to join the panel discussion, let me know.
