Mobile devices have transformed workplace productivity by offering anytime, anywhere access to business resources. However, this convenience also brings significant security risks. Many organizations mistakenly believe their Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions are sufficient, but MDM alone can’t fully protect against the threats targeting mobile devices. This security gap is an opportunity for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to add mobile security to their services, reducing customer risk and increasing revenue without additional headcount. Join Eva-Maria Elya from Lookout Security, Chris Prewitt from Inversion6, and Theresa Lanowitz from LevelBlue as they dive into:



<ul>
<li>Why mobile endpoints are often overlooked in security strategies</li>

According to The Future SOC Survey, 67% of managed security providers who use an Automation Solution have increased their output, without adding headcount. So, what happened to the other 33%?



The managed security industry is changing rapidly, creating intense competition and pressure to deliver. As a result, many managed security providers have adopted SOAR or other Automation solutions. However, there is a lot of debate within the managed security industry over the types of automation solutions available, the role of AI, and what it means for the future of the SOC. And don’t forget the effects on service offerings, differentiation, and growth opportunities.



Join Incident Response Researcher, Pierre Noujeim, with Seth Fox, VP of Sales at D3, and Jessica C. Davis, Editorial Director at MSSP Alert, as they discuss: • The benefits of Automation for managed security providers • The myths and realities of SOAR, Hyperautomation, XDR and ITSM • Key considerations that managed security firms should have before engaging an Automation provider

We’re bombarded with massive amounts of information every day. From daily news and stocks to the latest box scores, keeping up with it all is a full-time job.  Your IT infrastructure is no different. Millions of logs circulate through your IT systems, including firewall data, system logs, and endpoint events to name a few.  Security Information and Event Management, or SIEM for short, was designed to make sense of it all. Centralizing logs is at the heart of what SIEM was meant to do. But does just having a SIEM and organizing your data help if there’s still too much noise to make sense of it all?  Come join us as we explore SIEM’s origins, the challenges it faces today, and how we can filter out the noise without compromising security.



In this webinar, we’ll dive into:



<ul>
<li>How SIEM began: Get a deeper understanding of how SIEM started.</li>



<li>Where it went wrong: Dive into the issues legacy SIEM models face.</li>



<li>What needs to happen: Discover why most organizations and MSPs need a different approach to SIEM.</li>

Security operations centers (SOCs) have typically been the domain of large enterprises. Traditional SOCs were built for larger, well-funded organizations with the resources to benefit from a real-time SecOps command center that can monitor, alert, and act upon suspicious — or outright malicious — activity. Mid-sized organizations with lean security teams and smaller budgets were often priced out, and SMBs have been a primary target of cyberattackers for this reason. Now, MSSPs have stepped in to fill this gap, and many are looking to integrate AI into their SOC-as-a-service offerings. That’s a great choice, and a great opportunity for MSSPs. An AI-powered SOC model with AI, automation, scalability, and flexibility can fill in security gaps for mid-market organizations and help smaller organizations that otherwise couldn’t afford it get the same benefits as their enterprise counterparts. In this MSSP Alert webinar, join MSSP, cybersecurity, SOC and AI experts to learn how integrating AI into your SOC can take your business to the next level and help protect against the most dangerous threats. You’ll learn:



<ul>
<li>How AI is used in the SOC today</li>



<li>How to best integrate AI into your SOC</li>



<li>How AI is driving emerging threats – and how it can fortify defenses against them</li>



<li>How AI in your SOC can drive business growth</li>
