Cybersecurity for small to medium business
Andrew Johnson, Managing Director
Cyberattacks have been trending upwards in recent years with cybercriminals exploiting the pandemic and the shift to remote working. Experts have warned Australian small businesses owners to watch out as small to medium businesses (SMBs) account for nearly half of all cybercrime incidents and are often the primary targets for cybercrime. Business owners are aware of cybercrime, but despite all the warnings, most SMBs are still unprepared for a cyberattack. When you consider cybersecurity solutions for enterprise and larger corporates, there’s a plethora of sophisticated solutions to choose from. Finding appropriate solutions for SMB is much more of a challenge. This is why Manage Protect has been collaborating with partners, industry groups, cyber security solution vendors and companies to formulate a robust cybersecurity platform that will answer the unique needs of SMBs. During the Brisbane Chapter Meeting, Andrew Johnson will present the cybersecurity platform designed specifically for SMBs, combining the Essential Eight framework. Learn about the solution offerings that managed service providers need to include in their security stack to protect their customers and help them become Essential Eight compliant.

How to build a Cyber Resilient Business

Cloud VMS
Don Tibbits
Security camera systems are literally everywhere. They’re on the street, in offices, shops, homes, even vehicles. Formerly known as CCTV, these days they go by several names. The most common is VMS or video management system. A modern VMS uses end-to-end digital technologies, including network, or ‘IP-based’ cameras. Surveillance system technologies and management have converged with information system technologies and management. That means the skillsets required for their management have also converged, presenting a massive opportunity for MSP's who are keen to grow existing service bundles, and of course, their MRR.
Please note that this event will not be live streamed or recorded.
