Strategies for Building Your MSP’s Next-Generation Cybersecurity Programs
Elias Mansour, Senior Manager
Over the past decade, the Managed Services landscape has evolved significantly. MSPs have shifted from traditional break/fix models to offering recurring managed services contracts focused on uptime, reliability, and performance. But the industry is shifting once again—and MSPs must adapt. Today, simply ensuring uptime is no longer enough; it's expected. The real differentiator is how well MSPs can protect their clients against increasingly complex and frequent cybersecurity threats. This shift demands a transformation in service offerings, pricing models, and sales messaging. Cybersecurity now represents the single biggest growth opportunity for MSPs.
So the question is: What is your strategy to capture that market?
Join Elias Mansour, Senior Manager at N-able APAC, for a practical and insightful webinar where he’ll walk you through how to build, price, and sell effective cybersecurity programs for your MSP business.

Carl Jefferys & Roy Wittert
This session introduces Cambium Networks to those unfamiliar with our platform and provides timely updates for current users. As SMB IT teams balance lean resources with growing connectivity demands, Cambium delivers a unified solution through our One Network architecture—integrating Wi-Fi, switching, security, and fixed wireless under a single cloud-managed system.
We’ll explore how Cambium’s enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points bring reliable, high-performance connectivity without the high costs or licensing complexity typically associated with legacy vendors. Our 60 GHz solutions also offer a compelling, fiber-like wireless alternative for short-range backhaul or rapid deployment—especially in urban or campus environments.
Cambium’s Policy-Based Automation (PBA) simplifies operations by automating device onboarding, segmenting traffic securely, and eliminating configuration errors. Combined with centralized management in cnMaestro, the result is a secure, scalable network that’s easy to deploy and maintain. Our switches also offer a cable test feature valued and endorsed already by many MSPs
Whether upgrading aging infrastructure or expanding a distributed site, this session offers a clear path to enterprise-grade networking—without the enterprise overhead.
Door Prize: We will promote our FREE AP Program via BluechipIT for new potential partners.
Cambium Networks is a Silver sponsor of SMBiT Professionals.
