Bevin Warren & Stefan Haapanen. DP Computing
Bevin and Stefan will lead a discussion into the upcoming expiry of Secure Boot certificates, a looming deadline that could leave both your internal and your clients’ hardware in limbo.
This session breaks down the "why" behind the expiry and provides a technical roadmap for auditing Windows devices and leveraging Windows Update for a seamless fix.
If times permit they will also talk about recovery from "Invalid Signature" bootup errors and a quick-fire look at the Ubiquiti SFP Wizard.

In this session, we’ll explore the current MSP landscape and the challenges shaping the market as we head into 2026. MSPs are under pressure from rising customer expectations, tighter margins, skills shortages, and an increasingly complex threat environment. Yet demand for managed security and scalable IT services continues to grow, creating strong opportunities for MSPs who can evolve their offerings.
We’ll challenge a common perception: Is WatchGuard still just a firewall company? WatchGuard has evolved into a unified cybersecurity platform designed for MSPs, covering network security, secure Wi-Fi, endpoint protection, MDR, MFA, and centralised visibility — all managed through a single platform.
From a business perspective, we’ll discuss how MSPs can leverage WatchGuard’s unique strengths — simplicity, integration, predictable pricing, and ease of management — to improve profitability and build recurring revenue. From a technical lens, we’ll highlight how this reduces operational complexity while delivering stronger security outcomes.
The session will share practical ways to grow your business with WatchGuard in 2026 and beyond.
Watchguard is a Silver sponsor of SMBiT Professionals
