GROVE, Ill., June 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Learning how to recognize and overcome the latest
cybersecurity threats to protect businesses and their customers
remains a major focus of CompTIA ChannelCon 2024, hosted in
Atlanta July 30 – Aug. 1 by
CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology
(IT) industry and workforce.
"Solution providers will come away from
this year's ChannelCon with great insights on cybersecurity."
This year's cybersecurity sessions will explore the ransomware
landscape and how channel businesses can better approach risk
assessment. The sessions feature a tabletop experience, an expert
from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA),
and discussions with top security leaders across the
country.
The ChannelCon agenda is organized into four
educational tracks to help participants maximize their
experience:
- Cybersecurity: Protecting Your Business and
Customers
- MSP Success: Strategies to Improve Your Business
- Community: Gaining Advice and Insight from Member
Leaders
- Vendor Education: Building Successful Relationships
"This year's cybersecurity track will be a new experience," said
Wayne Selk, vice president,
cybersecurity programs, CompTIA. "We listened to feedback from
CompTIA Community members and designed the track sessions to start
with a 30-minute topic, followed by a short break. Then, there will
be two breakout sessions that dive deeper into areas of the
preceding topic. Between the member-led sessions and the workshops,
solution providers will come away from this year's ChannelCon with
a lot of great insight on cybersecurity."
The cybersecurity track includes four workshops aligned with
CompTIA's Cybersecurity Trustmark, which offers a path for CompTIA
Community solution provider members who are looking to
differentiate themselves by adhering to this industry standard of
controls and providing an accreditation certification designating
they have met or exceeded the standard set forth by their industry
peers. There are currently over 1,250 MSPs from 37 countries
registered through the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark, with just
over 200 actively working through the program.
The workshops are included at no additional cost as part of
ChannelCon registration for solution providers, and will explore
risk, culture, policy development.
"What is Data?" will explore the various types of data in an
organization, the risk associated with each type and what to do if
a company accidently receives data it shouldn't have. Other
Cybersecurity Trustmark workshops include:
- "Culture & Strategy" – Learn how to embed cybersecurity
into your culture and how that shift in thinking can benefit your
approach to the Cybersecurity Trustmark.
- "Policy Development 101" – Learn how to write effective
cybersecurity policies that meet both the goals of the business and
the requirements for security compliance.
- "Risk Management" – Take an immersive dive into the world of
business risk for MSPs.
