Cybersecurity distributor Brigantia celebrated another successful series of events with the conclusion of its three-city Insider Threat Roadshow. The events allowed Brigantia’s MSP partners to meet vendors and learn the latest ways to manage and mitigate insider threats.
Beginning in London at Lord’s Cricket Ground, the roadshow moved onto Birmingham before concluding in York on Friday, 23rd February.
Why insider threat?
The event's theme was insider threat – in other words, the security risks that people within an organisation can pose. The roadshow highlighted the need for MSPs to address the security deficit and the potential to add new revenue streams.
The event
All three events featured the same vendors, allowing Brigantia’s MSP partners from across the UK and Ireland to meet them face-to-face. Brigantia's Senior Product Specialist, Ed Knox, introduced the event, explaining the theme and the opportunities it presents for MSPs.
The speakers were:
- Next DLP's Vice President (EMEA), Stefan Jarlegen, on the risks of unintended data loss and ways of monitoring and managing the internal and external flow of information.
- Hornetsecurity’s Head of Presales, Matt Fry, on insider risk concerning Microsoft 365 and ways to mitigate it without compromising productivity.
- Conceal’s Director of Sales, Mark Ross, on the importance of security at the browser level in the age of cloud services and hybrid work.
- Sendmarc’s Senior Sales Specialist, Danny Hoogeveen spoke in London, on the rise of DMARC and the critical need to raise standards of domain and mail security. While, Filipe Guedes and Kerry Tomkinson spoke in Birmingham and York respectively on the same topic.
In addition to the vendors, Brigantia invited expert guest speakers to share their insights with attendees. In London, Mike Knight of MKLINK advised on how to maximise referrals. Ethical hacker and cybersecurity consultant Joe Burns spoke about session-hijacking attacks at the Birmingham and York events.
In addition to the talks, attendees received lunch, refreshments, and facetime with the vendors.
Angus Shaw, Brigantia Director, said:
“Our events are all about adding value for partners, and the roadshow was no exception. Insider threat is critically essential and all too often neglected. A vast majority of successful cyberattacks involve some human error – and in the age of cloud, organisations face more threats with less visibility.
The roadshow was a chance to educate partners on ways to tackle those threats. As well as protecting their customers, we’re also highlighting the potential for new revenue opportunities that insider threat presents. I want to thank all attendees and, of course, all the speakers who shared their time and expertise.”
