Member Presentation: 4 Frameworks Walk Into a Bar
|
|
|
Luke Irwin, Principal Consultant & Managing Director Aegis Cybersecurity
|
|
|
Which cybersecurity framework is right for your clients? ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, or SMB1001? Join Luke Irwin from Aegis Cybersecurity as he cuts through the noise and breaks down the strengths, weaknesses, and suitability of today’s major frameworks. Designed specifically for MSPs, this fast-paced session strips away the fluff and gets real about what’s achievable, what’s not, and where each model fits in the maturity journey. No vendor pitches—just practical insights from a firm that doesn’t sell tools.

Data-Centric Security: Protecting What Really Matters
|
|
|
George Farah, Channel Sales Manager
|
|
|
For Managed Service Providers, keeping client data safe is no longer just about protecting networks, endpoints, or users — it’s about ensuring the information itself is secure, no matter where it travels.
Data-centric security is an emerging approach that embeds protection directly into the data layer. Instead of relying only on perimeter defences, information is encrypted, governed, and monitored at the source. This means that whether data is stored in the cloud, shared with third parties, or accessed remotely, its protection goes with it.
For MSPs, this approach adds real value to client conversations. It addresses growing concerns around compliance, insider risks, and the upcoming challenges of quantum-era computing. It also provides an opportunity to offer clients greater visibility and control, showing who is accessing their data, when, and how.
GuardWare enables MSPs to deliver this new layer of protection seamlessly. Our technology combines post-quantum cryptography, zero-trust principles, and advanced monitoring, ensuring that sensitive information is resilient against today’s threats and tomorrow’s.
By shifting the conversation from “securing systems” to “securing the data itself,” MSPs can differentiate their services, strengthen trust with clients, and open the door to higher-value managed offerings.
With GuardWare, the data itself becomes the fortress — giving MSPs a smarter way to protect, empower, and retain their customers in an increasingly complex cyber landscape.
