As organizations grow in size and complexity, their internal networks often become a “black hole” in terms of visibility. To keep these networks secure, this visibility needs to be managed, but time and budget seldom allow IT and cybersecurity professionals to gain actionable insights. 

N‑able’s VP, Product Management, Jim Waggoner and Head of Threat Research, Kevin O'Connor demystify network visibility and provide valuable takeaways you can implement today to mature your cybersecurity posture: 
- Why going beyond Endpoint Security and basic integrations is critical for network integrity  
- How to empower your team with automation and AI to defend against ransomware and other cyberattacks 
- How to simplify cyber-threat visibility to make it accessible for SMBs

How to Use Network Visibility in Your Cyber Security Strategy

In this on-demand session, Jim Waggoner and Lewis Pope break down the latest cyber incidents making headlines and explain what they mean for businesses of all sizes. From ransomware hitting critical services to supply chain compromises in widely used software ecosystems, the discussion highlights both persistent and opportunistic attackers, their evolving tactics, and the growing “as-a-service” criminal marketplace. 

Whether you’re an MSP protecting clients or an IT leader responsible for organizational resilience, this session arms you with actionable steps to strengthen defenses and respond to today’s fast-moving threats.

Inside the Headlines: How Threat Actors Are Exploiting Businesses Like Yours

N-able Head Nerd Lewis Pope explains how Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT teams can use cybersecurity tabletop exercises to improve incident response readiness. Learn how to design, facilitate, and get business value from these exercises -plus access free CISA and N-able resources to help you get started.

Watch now to strengthen your team’s response before the next cyber incident hits.

From Plan to Practice: Strengthen Incident Response with Tabletop Exercises

From credential abuse and ransomware to cyber extortion and unpatched vulnerabilities, small and midsized businesses (SMBs) are 3x more likely to be targeted than large enterprises due to resource disparities.

Join us for our 2025 Threat Report webinar and get a data-driven reality check on the evolving threat landscape targeting SMBs, exposing the gaps, trends, and real-world consequences organizations can no longer afford to ignore.

Combining threat intelligence from across the N-able and Adlumin ecosystems, Kevin O’Conner, Director of Threat Research, and Jim Waggoner, VP of Product Management, will share significant takeaways, trends, and vulnerabilities from the new 2025 Threat Report including:

· Top SMB threats in 2025

· Current trends in the SMB threat landscape

· Real-world SMB incidents and takeaways

Preparing for Tomorrow’s Threats Today: The Critical Need for End-to-End Cyber Resilience

The tools that got you here won’t get you where you need to go.

If you’re still relying on legacy backup tools, bloated hardware, and time-draining admin work, you’re not just stuck, you’re falling behind. Our new MSP Growth Playbook reveals how outdated backup strategies are eroding your margins, hindering growth, and leaving your customers exposed.

In this unapologetically practical session, we’ll show you what high-growth MSPs are doing differently and how you can shift your backup from bottleneck to breakthrough.

You’ll learn:
- How to slash admin time by up to 90% and free your techs for higher-value work
- Why cloud-first, image-free backup is transforming margins for thousands of MSPs
- How to repurpose your data center instead of letting it drain profit
- What “ransomware resilience by design” really looks like with immutable, isolated backups
- How Cove’s predictable pricing model puts an end to cloud billing surprises

This isn’t about swapping one vendor for another. It’s about rethinking your entire approach to backup and unlocking time, margin, and flexibility that’s been buried under outdated systems.

Watch now if you’re ready to grow smarter.

Choosing the right backup solution is never just about features - it’s about outcomes. In this live “Hear from a Peer” session, we spoke with Dave Brown, Director of Cloud Services at CSCM IT Solutions, a West Midlands-based MSP delivering IT services across the UK and beyond.

Dave has spent 15 years growing within CSCM, and he’s led their shift to Cove Data Protection. In this candid interview, he’ll share:
• Why CSCM moved away from traditional backup tools
• The operational and commercial impact of switching to Cove
• How Cove helps them deliver faster recovery and reduce support overhead
• Tips for other MSPs considering a change

If you’re still managing legacy backup, juggling multiple tools, or just not convinced by cloud-first options – this is your chance to hear directly from a partner who’s been there.

Watch to see what’s possible with Cove Data Protection.

IT teams and MSPs are under constant pressure to detect threats early - but threat hunting often feels like a black box.

In this webinar, Jim Waggoner and Kevin O’Connor guide you through a hands-on threat hunting session, showing how they identify, investigate, and surface hidden threats across cloud and endpoint environments.

You’ll learn:
- What threat hunting actually is (and how it differs from investigation)
- How to uncover threats hiding in normal traffic
- Why correlation across identity and endpoint data matters
- What sets apart a mature, effective threat hunting capability

Whether you’re new to the concept or looking to deepen your technical knowledge, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to act on threats more effectively.

Threat Hunting Explained: See It in Action, Learn How It Works

The Security Operations Center (SOC) is at an AI-fueled inflection point, facing an increasing volume, velocity, and sophistication of threats from cybercriminals armed with AI tools. To combat these challenges, many SOCs have turned to AI and ML tools, but the balance between AI’s potential and its risks remains a pressing issue — especially for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).  

Join us as we share the findings of Adlumin’s inaugural State of the SOC Report and provide a deeper look at how the Adlumin SOC is responding to today's cybersecurity threats. Will Ledesma, Director of MDR and SOC team leader at N-able, and Jim Waggoner, VP of Product Management at N-able, will share key insights from our State of the SOC Report including: 

- Where threats are coming from
- Benefits and challenges of AI  
- How AI has shaped and will shape the future of the SOC 
- Building the SOC of the future

This webinar is a must for any cybersecurity or IT professional. All registrants will receive an exclusive copy of the State of the SOC report.
