2. Recap - Continuum Navigate: Security was the main theme for MSPs at this week's Continuum Navigate 2018 conference in Boston. CEO Michael George positioned security as the next mountain that MSPs must scale, but pointed to the talent shortage as a major inhibitor. Naturally, he sees Continuum Security and associated SOC services as a natural path forward for those MSPs. The strategy involves close working relationships with EventTracker, SentinelOne and Webroot. Our coverage is here on MSSP Alert and here on ChannelE2E.
