Become a Trusted Cybersecurity Partner
The MSP Cybersecurity Accelerator
You built your MSP to solve problems and make technology work for clients.
A hands-on, cohort-based program created by MSPs, cybersecurity leaders, and industry advisors who have faced the same challenges and found what works.
The Challenge
Why Most MSPs Struggle with Security
Most MSPs started out to make IT easy for their clients — not to sell endless security tools.
But here we are. Every client meeting turns into another cyber conversation.
This program helps you get through the jargon, operationalize security, and get back to being the innovator you wanted to be when you started your company.
You'll learn how to:
Talk to clients about risk in plain English
Build a service model that clients actually stick with
Cut down on pointless solution sprawl
Run your MSP like the trusted advisor you already are
"I didn't become an MSP to be a cyber business. But we adapted. This program helped us operationalize security and lead with innovation."
— Jason Makevich, Greenlight Cyber
