  SMBiT Professionals Sydney Chapter

  Next meeting Tuesday 10 March 2026 SMBiT Professionals Sydney Chapter meets on the second Tuesday of the month   Main Event 4:00pm-6:00pm Stay a while afterwards and have dinner, a drink and a chat Dinner 6:00pm-7:00pm   Location The Union Hotel 271 Pacific Highway North Sydney https://www.unionhotel.com.au/ Map   Registration Register NOW using the link below (at left if you're on the Web page) Asset Tracking - How NetVault GPS tracking can help your clients manage and maintain the most important assets in your client's business Radek Tkaczyk, Technical Director   In today’s age where the tracking of assets can be as simple as an Apple AirTag, to as complicated as AI Driven dash cameras, NetVault is deploying more and more GPS trackers in devices ranging from trucks, trailers to their Rapid Deployment Kits. In this session, Radek will demonstrate how NetVault GPS tracking can enable businesses to keep an eye on their assets, and be alerted when assets leave a particular area, exceed a speed limit, or fail a particular threshold. The world on IOT is on everyone’s finger tips, and AI is central to being able to process this mammoth amount of data to make sense of it all. NetVault is a Gold sponsor of SMBiT Professionals Simplifying Microsoft 365 Security for MSPs Andrew Johnson & Claire Walker   Managing Microsoft 365 security across multiple customer tenants can be a real headache, especially when it comes to keeping policies consistent and staying compliant. Many first-generation tools on the market are expensive, complex, and add to your operational burden instead of reducing it. After extensive research and hands-on evaluation, Manage Protect discovered Octiga: a modern platform built by MSSPs for MSPs. In this session, Manage Protect will introduce Octiga and show how it makes Microsoft 365 security simpler, faster and easier to manage at scale. You’ll learn what it does, why it stands apart from other options, and see a live demo. The session will also cover the broader ways Manage Protect helps MSPs streamline and strengthen Microsoft management across multiple tenants.

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.
