Defending Against Modern Email Threats

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2025 @ 2PM EST

Email remains the number one entry point for cyberattacks, but today’s threats look nothing like yesterday’s spam. Attackers are using automation, AI, and social engineering to bypass legacy defenses and exploit gaps in MSP security stacks. To stay ahead, providers must move beyond the basics and adopt layered, adaptive protection strategies. 

In this session, we’ll break down what “modern” email security really means for MSPs. 

You’ll learn how to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of today’s leading approaches, from API-driven solutions to traditional secure gateways. We’ll highlight the configurations that matter most, where encryption and authentication often fail in practice, and how to shore up outbound traffic so your clients’ brands don’t become the next victim of spoofing or impersonation. 

This session will be hosted by Dave Sobel, with special guests Cody Ekle of Mailprotector and Mauro Cretari of CIO Landing, a longtime Mailprotector partner, bringing together the vendor and MSP perspectives to highlight how collaboration on both sides of the channel creates stronger security strategies in practice.
