Most MSP client reviews cover what got installed. The endpoint agent was deployed, the firewall rules were tuned, and the tickets were closed inside the SLA. Meanwhile, boards, insurers, and auditors are asking for something more: a clear account of the business's current security and compliance risks. The partner who can provide that answer earns client trust and increases credibility. 

Join Mick McCarter of WatchGuard and Aaron Fansler, CEO of FrontLine Cyber Solutions, for an informative session on risk evaluation: how to assess and rank the risks a client faces today, how to demonstrate that risks are minimized once controls are in place, and how to manage those risks over time. 

Nearly half of SMB and midmarket organizations already describe their provider as a strategic advisor or proactive partner, and 58% expect to change providers within three years (WatchGuard MSP Survey 2026). Partners who go beyond technology deployment to help their clients manage their security risks can build trusted relationships and grow their business at the same time. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn: 

• How to evaluate and describe a client’s risk exposure 
• How to show a client the difference in exposure with and without controls in place 
• How to build risk evaluation into client reviews and pricing 

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration for MSPs because it is already reshaping how leading providers run their businesses, protect their clients, and create new revenue streams. Separating real business value from hype requires a clear-eyed, practitioner-driven perspective.

Join Marc Laliberte and a panel of MSP and security operations leaders for a candid discussion on how AI is being deployed today. Panelists will explore where AI delivers measurable impact across core internal operations like service delivery and ticketing, within security operations such as threat triage and alert fatigue reduction, and through new client-facing AI service offerings that create high-value managed solutions.

Attendees will leave with:

• A practical framework for evaluating where AI fits in overall business strategy
• A guide on how to prioritize internal and external use cases
• A proven strategy to package and sell AI services to clients
• A phased deployment plan that fits resource constraints

AI should do more than generate answers. It should help MSPs make better decisions.

Many MSPs are experimenting with AI, but isolated tools and generic prompts often create more noise than value. Without the right questions, workflows, and operational foundation, AI can become another disconnected technology to manage rather than a meaningful driver of security and growth.

This webinar explores five practical AI prompts every MSP should know, and how to apply them across security, service delivery, operations, and business strategy.

Key Highlights:

• Reduce customer risk by identifying threats and priorities faster
• Minimize labor by simplifying analysis and repetitive operational tasks
• Increase scale without adding equivalent headcount or complexity
• Prove security and service performance with clearer insights
• Expose customer needs, revenue opportunities, and paths to growth

Employees are increasingly adopting AI tools, working across unsecured networks, and bypassing established security practices, often without their organization's knowledge. The result is a growing class of cybersecurity risks that traditional security controls alone cannot address.

Join Marc Laliberte, Director of Security Operations at WatchGuard, for an exclusive look at the findings from the 2026 Cybersecurity Hygiene Report. Drawing on research from employees at SMBs across multiple global markets, Marc will unpack the rise of Shadow AI, persistent cyber hygiene challenges, and the visibility gaps that put businesses at risk.

For MSPs, these findings represent both a challenge and an opportunity. As customers struggle to govern AI usage, enforce security policies, and manage human risk, MSPs are uniquely positioned to expand their role as trusted security advisors. Marc will discuss how partners can help customers improve visibility, strengthen cybersecurity hygiene, and reduce risk before it leads to a breach.

IT leaders and security professionals will also gain practical insights into the employee behaviors driving today's threats and the steps organizations can take to improve governance, accountability, and resilience.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• What the data reveals about the rapid growth of Shadow AI in the workplace
• The employee behaviors creating the greatest cybersecurity risk for SMBs
• Why traditional security controls often fail to address human-driven risk
• How MSPs can turn cyber hygiene challenges into higher-value security conversations
• Practical recommendations for improving visibility, governance, and organizational resilience

Whether you're an MSP looking to deliver greater strategic value or an IT leader working to reduce human-driven risk, this session will provide actionable insights to help you stay ahead of emerging cybersecurity challenges.

Your employees have already adopted AI. The question is whether your organization knows where, how, and with which data.

While many companies are encouraging AI innovation, a new security challenge is emerging in parallel: Shadow AI. Employees are connecting AI tools faster than security teams can evaluate them, moving sensitive data into unmanaged applications, and creating blind spots that traditional security controls were never designed to see. Even organizations with mature AI strategies are discovering that sanctioned AI is only part of the story.

Join WatchGuard CISO Corey Nachreiner as he explores the real-world rise of Shadow AI, why it has become the next evolution of Shadow IT, and how attackers are increasingly exploiting cloud applications, identities, and unmanaged services instead of targeting traditional network perimeters.

You'll learn:

• Why visibility is the foundation of AI governance
• How users are bypassing IT today
• What practical steps security teams and MSPs can take to regain control without slowing innovation
• How WatchGuard Cloud Detection and Response (CloudDR) helps MSPs and organizations discover unmanaged cloud and AI applications, identify risky configurations and identity threats, and continuously monitor cloud environments at scale

If you're trying to embrace AI without creating new security blind spots, this session will show you how to see the risks you can't currently see.

Most IT teams face the problem of too many security alerts and not enough time to figure out which ones matter. When different security tools don't talk to each other, security teams are burdened with slow, manual investigations and delays between finding problems and fixing them. Meanwhile, clever attackers easily hide in the daily noise.

In this session, WatchGuard’s MDR expert, Jen Rose, will show you how combining everyday endpoint security with managed response removes the guesswork, filters out the noise, and helps you change how fast your team can stop threats before they cause damage. 

What we will cover:

• Why standard tools leave blind spots and how to connect them
• How to catch low-level threats before they escalate
• Simple ways to speed up how you investigate and respond to issues
• How to get clear, actionable results instead of a longer list of alerts

Our Sales Engineers will stage a real multi-layered attack against a stack of disconnected, best-of-breed controls — then run that same attack against a unified security platform. You'll see, step by step, why coordinated defenses stop the threats that individual tools can only contain.

What You'll Learn:

• See live how disconnected tools end up containing the victim, not the attacker
• Explore why multi-layered attacks defeat a firewall, endpoint detection and response (EDR), or multi-factor authentication (MFA) acting alone
• Learn how a unified platform correlates signals to detect, block, and remediate threats in real time
• Discover how to cut cost, complexity, and risk for the customers you protect

A stolen password should not open the front door to your entire network.

Traditional VPNs were built for a different era. Once a user gets in, too much of the network often becomes reachable. That broad, implicit trust gives ransomware exactly what it needs: an entry point, a path to move, and room to spread.

This webinar shows how WatchGuard helps replace VPN exposure with a zero trust access model built for today’s threat landscape. You will see how removing implicit trust and containing lateral movement can turn a compromised credential from a network-wide crisis into a limited, controlled event.

Key Highlights:

• Replace broad VPN access with continuous zero trust validation
• Limit every user to only the specific resources they need
• Contain attackers before they can move across the network
• Reduce one of the most exploited entry points for ransomware and credential-based attacks

Every time a client gets breached through a cloud app, it's the MSP who gets the call. Compromised Microsoft 365 accounts, unauthorized AI tools, and misconfigured sharing settings. Attackers aren't breaking in anymore. They're logging in through gaps that your endpoint, firewall, and MDR tools were never designed to see.

WatchGuard Cloud Detection and Response closes those gaps. But here's what makes it the easiest sell of 2026: you don't have to convince clients the problem exists. You just show them. Run a single Shadow IT discovery scan and walk into your next client meeting with a list of 40, 50, sometimes 60 applications, including AI tools, that are connected to their environment without anyone's knowledge or approval. The conversation sells itself. Clients don't push back. They ask what to do next.

WatchGuard CloudDR is the only solution that provides a full suite of Cloud app security, unifying Shadow IT discovery with SaaS posture management and identity threat detection in a single platform. Best yet, it's priced to attach to every security renewal you're already closing. 

You'll leave this webinar with:

• A repeatable pitch for any client running Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or SaaS apps that starts with real client insights
• A demo showing the power of operating the unified Cloud app security capabilities together as one platform
• Tactics for handling the most common objections, including "we already have Microsoft"
• A land-and-expand playbook that turns a single discovery scan into a recurring managed service
• The pricing story that makes CloudDR the simplest bundle conversation of the year

You didn't get into this business to spend your weekends cleaning up breaches you had no tools to prevent. That changes now.

Hundreds of MSPs joined our last webinar to discuss the growing security and operational challenges of remote-user VPNs. Since then, the headlines have only reinforced the problem. Fortinet. Ivanti. Palo Alto Networks. SonicWall. Different vendors, same challenge: critical vulnerabilities, credential theft, and ransomware attacks continue to target remote access infrastructure, forcing organizations into a cycle of emergency patching, user disruption, and increased risk.

The reality is that VPNs were designed for a world where users, devices, and applications lived inside a trusted network perimeter. Today's workforce operates everywhere, and attackers increasingly exploit that trust to gain access, move laterally, and compromise critical systems.

Join WatchGuard experts for a candid discussion on why organizations must rethink traditional remote access and how identity-based secure access is the modern approach to protecting users, applications, and data.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• Why VPN vulnerabilities continue to impact organizations regardless of vendor
• How attackers exploit trusted remote access to gain a foothold and move laterally across networks
• The hidden operational costs of maintaining, patching, troubleshooting, and scaling VPN infrastructure
• Why identity, device posture, and continuous verification are replacing traditional network-based access models
• How MSPs are modernizing remote access services to improve security, simplify management, and create new recurring revenue opportunities

Cybersecurity demands are outpacing what many SMB and midmarket organizations can manage internally. New global research from WatchGuard Technologies shows rising concern around AI-driven attacks, increasing pressure for 24/7 monitoring, and growing demand for MSPs that can deliver measurable security outcomes.

In this webinar, WatchGuard will break down key findings from its global cybersecurity survey and what they mean for MSPs looking to grow their security practice and strengthen customer relationships. You’ll learn:

• What SMBs are prioritizing most in cybersecurity today
• Why organizations are shifting toward MSP-led security models
• How AI concerns are changing customer expectations
• Where cybersecurity spending is increasing and what services customers value most

MSPs are under pressure to deliver stronger security across a growing customer base without adding more tools or people. Despite this, many still rely on approaches that don’t scale, leading to gaps, alert overload, and missed opportunities to grow their security business. 

The goal of this 30-minute session is to help MSPs take a step back and assess how they’re delivering security today. We’ll walk them through the most common pressure points, help identify where their current approach is falling short, and guide them toward the next conversation based on what matters most to their business. 

A few topics we’ll cover:

• Where gaps show up across client environments today  
• How alerts are handled and where teams get stretched  
• Where password-only access still creates risk  
• The impact of too many tools and limited visibility  

The new WatchGuard Agent brings everything together with a single, lightweight installer that simplifies deployment, control, and ongoing operations across your environment. Get a practical, technical walkthrough of how the WatchGuard Agent reduces complexity while increasing flexibility and visibility.

In this session, we’ll walk through the essential steps for managing your Firebox in WatchGuard Cloud, including:

• Onboarding Your Firebox – Add your device in WatchGuard Cloud
• Building a Security Services Baseline – Create a foundational configuration for core security features
• Local vs. Cloud Management – Understand the key differences and when to use each approach
• Configuration Templates – Design, apply, and manage reusable templates for consistent deployments
• Cloud-Based Branch Office VPN Setup – Configure and deploy BOVPNs directly from the cloud
• Deployment History & Management – Track changes, review deployment logs, and maintain configuration integrity

A firewall is essential, but it’s no longer enough. Today’s attackers slip past perimeter controls, hide in encrypted traffic, and move fast once they get inside. Network Detection and Response (NDR) delivers always-on network visibility, earlier threat detection, and faster response, enabling you to see and stop what firewalls miss.

For MSPs, NDR changes the game, helping:

• Move beyond prevention-only to full-spectrum security
• Build stronger customer trust with better outcomes
• Turn firewall management into a higher-value detection and response service
• Clearly differentiate your offering in a crowded market

AI is everywhere in cybersecurity. For partners, the real question is not about the technology. It is about your people.

In this session, we break down the differences between automation and augmentation and why they matter for MSPs delivering security services. Automation removes repetitive SOC work such as triage, enrichment, and basic containment. Augmentation strengthens human experts with faster investigation, clearer attack mapping, and smarter response decisions.

Together, they change the economics of your security practice.

You will learn:

• How AI reduces manual workload across your team
• How automation handles initial investigations in seconds
• Why human oversight improves quality and consistency
• How an AI-augmented SOC helps you scale without adding headcount

Many MSPs rely on Microsoft Defender as a starting point for protecting customer environments. It’s built in, familiar, and good at generating alerts. But modern attacks don’t stop when an alert appears. They often use stolen credentials, legitimate tools, and cloud access to move quickly after detection.

In this session, WatchGuard’s Worldwide MDR Channel Sales Manager Jen Rose will look at how attacks unfold in Microsoft Defender environments and why detection alone leaves gaps for MSPs and their customers. 

We’ll walk through:

• What’s missing after an alert fires
• Why response timing matters
• How partners are beginning to think beyond alerts to better protect customers without changing the tools they already use

Join WatchGuard CSO Corey Nachreiner and Director of Security Operations Marc Laliberte as they discuss key findings from the WatchGuard Threat Lab’s H2 2025 Internet Security Report, the first of our biannual release version of the report. 

During Inside the Threat Landscape: Biannual Cybersecurity Briefing, they cover the latest malware and network attack trends targeting small and midsize enterprises, along with defensive tips you can take back to your organization to stay ahead of modern threat actor tactics.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Top malware and network attack trends that targeted small and midsize businesses globally
• Detailed examples of how top threats looked to their victims
• Most-common infection vectors of malware on endpoints
• And much more…

Attackers continue to move faster, automate more aggressively, and operate with greater precision at the endpoint. Detection alone is no longer enough. Security teams need clarity, context, and the ability to act decisively as threats unfold. 

Yet many endpoint approaches still rely heavily on manual investigation and response workflows that require human intervention. The result is alert overload, delayed response, increased operational effort, and growing pressure on already-stretched security teams. 

Join WatchGuard and GigaOm for an educational webinar that cuts through the noise to explore what modern endpoint protection really requires and how organizations can simplify security without sacrificing effectiveness. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Explore how endpoint threats have evolved and where legacy protection falls short 
• Examine why complexity is a top risk in endpoint security 
• Define what true EDR looks like today 
• Discover key findings and trends from the 2025 GigaOm Radar Report for EDR
• See how AI, automation, and integration are transforming endpoint defense 
• Learn practical ways to make advanced endpoint security achievable
