“In 2025, 57% of Australian businesses have increased their cyber budgets, yet only 23% have fully implemented the Essential Eight.

In New Zealand, a similar story – 52% of organisations have boosted their cybersecurity budgets, but only 27% have implemented NCSC NZ’s Critical Controls.”

– Mark Iles, Canalys (Omdia)

Overview

While investments are growing, real framework adoption is lagging behind – creating gaps MSPs need to address.

This webinar is designed to help MSPs take a leadership role in closing the growing gap between security investment and real-world resilience. You’ll gain practical insights into how to move beyond ad hoc solutions and embed the principles of trusted frameworks like the Essential Eight and NCSC NZ Critical Controls directly into your service delivery.

What we’ll explore

Through expert led keynotes and a panel discussion featuring frontline security practitioners, we’ll explore:

Why many partners struggle to implement security frameworks effectively and how to overcome the most common roadblocks

How to turn high-level controls into tangible, customer-facing outcomes across prevention, detection, response, and recovery

How to position your practice as a trusted security partner by aligning with compliance and governance expectations

How framework alignment can unlock operational efficiency, reduce client risk, and drive sustainable business growth

Whether you’re in the early stages of building a security-focused offering or refining a mature service stack, this session will give you the clarity and direction you need to deliver real cyber resilience.
