Unlock MSP Growth: How AI Drives Operational Efficiency and New Revenue

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration for MSPs because it is already reshaping how leading providers run their businesses, protect their clients, and create new revenue streams. Separating real business value from hype requires a clear-eyed, practitioner-driven perspective. Join Marc Laliberte and a panel of MSP and security operations leaders for a candid discussion on how AI is being deployed today.

WatchGuard Recognized as 2026 CRN Annual Report Card Winner for Network Security

What Campaigns Like Grandoreiro Teach Us About Threat Detection

The recent Grandoreiro campaign detected by the WatchGuard Threat Lab team is a clear example of how today’s threats combine different techniques to make detection more difficult and operate more discreetly. In this case, the attack begins with a phishing email designed to persuade the user to click a link. From there, the victim is taken through several redirects and eventually downloads a compressed file from well-known services such as Dropbox or MediaFire.

Cryptographic Context Injection - The 443 Podcast - Episode 384

This week on the podcast, we discuss a research post that defines a new attack technique against AI tools called Cryptographic Context Injection. Before that, we cover an authentication bypass vulnerability in CircleCI's MCP server after discussing 3.6 million records stolen from the Azure tenants of several large organziations.

AI Isn't Creating New Cyberattacks. It's Changing How They Operate

Artificial Intelligence has quickly become one of the most important conversations in cybersecurity. Much of that conversation focuses on what attackers might create next: AI-generated malware, deepfakes, autonomous attacks, or entirely new categories of threats. Those risks matter, but focusing only on new attack techniques misses a much larger transformation already taking place. The real impact of AI is not only what attackers can create. It is how efficiently they can operate.

Why Employee Behavior Is The Next Big Security Opportunity for MSPs | WatchGuard Webinar

Employees are increasingly adopting AI tools, working across unsecured networks, and bypassing established security practices, often without their organization's knowledge. The result is a growing class of cybersecurity risks that traditional security controls alone cannot address.

Why Employee Behavior Is the Next Big Security Opportunity for MSPs

Employees are increasingly using AI tools, working across unsecured networks, and bypassing established security practices creating new risks that traditional security controls alone can’t address. Join WatchGuard’s Marc Laliberte, Director of Security Operations, on August 20 for an exclusive webinar exploring the findings from the 2026 Cybersecurity Hygiene Report.

American Cyber Mercenaries - The 443 Podcast - Episode 383

This week on the podcast, we discuss a new White House memorandum that creates a program to authorize American private companies to begin conducting offensive cyber operations. Before that, we discuss a vulnerability write up for a Citrix Netscaler flaw before covering yet another prompt injection vulnerability in a popular AI tool.

Uncovering Shadow AI Before It Becomes Your Biggest Risk | WatchGuard Technologies Webinar Series

Your employees have already adopted AI. The question is whether your organization knows where, how, and with which data. While many companies are encouraging AI innovation, a new security challenge is emerging in parallel: Shadow AI. Employees are connecting AI tools faster than security teams can evaluate them, moving sensitive data into unmanaged applications, and creating blind spots that traditional security controls were never designed to see. Even organizations with mature AI strategies are discovering that sanctioned AI is only part of the story.

Redefining Client Expectations in Cybersecurity: From IT Support to Strategic Partner

Organizations are increasingly turning to third-party providers to navigate a cybersecurity landscape marked by expanding attack surfaces, fragmented technologies, and growing operational complexity. MSPs deliver specialized capabilities, round-the-clock protection, and multi-environment expertise, helping internal teams mitigate risks that are difficult to manage on their own.

AI Is Changing Cyberattacks on Hotels: Here's How to Stay Protected

Peak season brings challenges to the hospitality industry every year. Thousands of guests, temporary staff, vendors, and business partners interact daily with reservation systems, management platforms, mobile apps, and loyalty programs. That operational complexity makes hotels a particularly attractive target for cybercriminals. Artificial intelligence hasn't created a new problem for hotels, it is simply accelerating an existing one: identity-based attacks.

Cybersecurity Skills Shortage or Capabilities Gap? Why the Difference Matters

For years, cybersecurity has faced a persistent talent shortage. Yet the real challenge for many organizations isn't simply finding more people; it's having the specialized capabilities needed to investigate and respond to today's increasingly sophisticated threats.

HuggingFace's List of Demands - The 443 Podcast - Episode 381

This week on the podcast, we review HuggingFace's technical write up of their recent run in with a rogue OpenAI model, as well as their CEO's demands from OpenAI in response. We then cover an interesting research whitepaper that describes a side channel attack that could let AI transcribe typed text by an audio recording alone. We end with a threat intelligence report about DNS Poisoning attacks against hotel Wi-Fi systems.
