Employee-owned devices have become one of the largest—and most overlooked—security gaps in the modern IT stack. While 79% of MSPs monitor corporate laptops, only 24% extend that visibility to employee-owned devices, even though these devices frequently access corporate data.

New research from Omdia highlights the risks of this blind spot: more than half of MSPs have experienced a BYOD-related security incident in the past two years. The majority of these incidents are not due to lost devices but stem from credential theft and email compromises.

Peter Giardino, Head of MSP Channel Strategy at Aura Business, will discuss how MSPs are driving the adoption of an identity-based approach to BYOD security. He will outline how this approach goes beyond traditional Identity and Access Management to address critical gaps, enabling MSPs to protect clients without adding complexity or risk.

For twenty years, email security has largely been built around the same idea: inspect a message at a point in time, find a known-bad signal, and make a decision. That model is starting to break.

AI can generate convincing, unique messages at effectively zero cost, while modern phishing increasingly hides behind legitimate infrastructure like Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, and other trusted SaaS platforms. The sender can look legitimate. The URL can be clean. There may be nothing obvious to detonate. The problem is no longer simply identifying known-bad content. It is investigating what an unknown message is actually trying to do.

In this session, Cambrient AI co-founder Armaan Chakrabarti walks through two real attacks that passed incumbent email security controls and shows how an AI agent can investigate them differently: reasoning about the sender and message, opening suspicious links, following multi-step paths, and inspecting the page the user ultimately reaches.

He’ll close with one question MSPs can use to evaluate their own email security stack Monday morning: What happens when a link has no known-bad signal and there is nothing obvious to detonate?

As the AI boom quickly amplifies the capabilities of adversaries and reshapes the global threat landscape, cyber resilience is becoming a key priority for MSPs and their business customers. Ryan Grant will explore the evolving cybersecurity landscape, including malicious AI skills and shadow AI in the workplace, while addressing the challenge MSPs face as customers adopt AI faster than they can secure it.

In this session, Ryan will share how MSPs can harness AI, reduce complexity, and deliver enterprise grade protection for clients of all sizes. From simplified security operations to faster investigations, he will share the benefits of a prevention-first line of defense.
