Compliance Requirements Are Complex – But You Don’t Have to Start from Scratch

Regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIS 2, and NIST create strict security requirements for MSPs and IT professionals. However, compliance is not just about checking boxes – it is about building a security-first approach that protects your business and your clients.

Our on-demand webinar explains how a structured compliance framework can help you:

Understand where to start and how to break down complex compliance mandates

Leverage security integrations (SIEM, UEM, MDR) to automate reporting and reduce manual effort

Work toward compliance without slowing down your business operations

How N‑able Helps:

N‑able provides the tools and expertise MSPs and IT professionals need to build compliance-ready security operations, from SIEM and UEM for visibility and endpoint management to MDR for threat detection and response.

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 Our new MSP Growth Playbook reveals how outdated backup strategies are eroding your margins, hindering growth, and leaving your customers exposed.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about rethinking your entire approach to backup and unlocking time, margin, and flexibility that’s been buried under outdated systems.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.

The Cyber Experts Series – Oliver Spence, CEO, CybaVerse

As the cyber-threat landscape continues to evolve in sophistication and frequency—75% of pros surveyed by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) reported a ransomware attack in the last year—businesses struggle to protect ever-growing, distributed application and data environments. This is due in part to siloed, app-specific protection measures that obscure, rather than grant, security visibility. 
 
In this webinar, ESG Practice Director Scott Sinclair, and Chris Groot and Stefan Voss from Cove, explore how traditional data protection methodologies struggle to keep pace with today’s cyber resilience expectations, and the critical role that data operations efficiency plays in protecting business data.
 
Watch now to:
• View data protection spending trends (56% are prioritizing data protection spend).
• Explore the importance of data movement and management in maintaining recovery SLAs.
• Benefit from an optimized approach to data protection.
• Unpack the key differentiators of Cove Data Protection.

Speakers:
• Scott Sinclair, Practice Director, Enterprise Strategy Group
• Chris Groot, General Manager, Cove Data Protection, N-able

The importance of data efficiency in optimizing cyber resilience and data protection

Cybersecurity professionals preach the power of multi-factor authentication (MFA), but what happens when a cybercriminal goes around it?

Join Kevin O’Connor and Lewis Pope as they demonstrate MFA bypass techniques using EvilGinx 3. In this webinar, you’ll also see how attackers can leverage hijacked session cookies and EvilGinx phishlets to compromise user accounts and access. The pair will also dive into how to combat these attacks, along with the benefits of a fully visible network for cybersecurity.

In this webinar, Charles Weaver, CEO and co-founder of MSPAlliance, and Jim Waggoner, VP of product management for security at N‑able, took an in-depth look at today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. As global cybersecurity concerns intensify, this session focused on the key areas where policymakers are placing their greatest attention. With hostile nation-state actors and cybercriminals increasingly targeting national critical infrastructure, understanding the current threat landscape is more important than ever.

Weaver and Waggoner also explored why Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are essential to national and global security efforts. As trusted technology partners, certified and competent MSPs are uniquely positioned to safeguard not just the infrastructure itself, but also the adjacent vendors and smaller contractors that are often exploited as points of vulnerability. From government initiatives to private sector collaboration, this webinar underscores the critical role MSPs play in ensuring the resilience and protection of infrastructure around the world.
