The ongoing talent shortage, and navigating a crowded and noisy market are among the top pain points in the cybersecurity channel.

At this fall’s Channel Partners Conference & Expo, we conducted roundtables with channel experts addressing hot topics in areas such as cybersecurity, cloud and MSPs.

During our cybersecurity roundtable, we asked panelists about their partners’ major pain points and most pressing needs. They also talked about how they’re addressing those issues.

Panelists included:
