Tool sprawl. AI phishing. Shrinking margins. Sound familiar? 🎯 We surveyed senior cybersecurity and IT leaders at US-based MSPs and the data confirmed what most in the industry already feel. But the MSPs winning right now aren't just surviving the squeeze. They're growing through it. Join Mikey Pruitt and Charles Love on June 25 at 11AM ET for a peer roundtable where we walk through four headline findings from our research, then hear directly from MSP leaders turning these same pressures into practice growth and stickier clients. πŸ’‘ You'll leave with three actions you can take in the next 30 days. πŸ—“οΈ June 25 | 11AM ET | Free to attend Register now: explore.dnsfilter.com/webina… #MSP #Cybersecurity #ManagedServices #DNSFilter #Webinar

Brian Hein and Constantin Jacob laid it out plainly in their closing keynote at Elbsides 2026: the trusted networks that power real-time collaboration during major incidents are aging out, and almost no one is building the bench behind them. Their call to action: adopt the same feeder-system thinking that professional sports figured out decades ago. πŸ† Sponsored entry. Deliberate mentorship. A named roster of who steps in tomorrow.

Tomorrow in Hamburg, two DNSFilter of DNSFilter's best close out Elbsides 2026 πŸ’« Brian Hein and Constantin Jacob are delivering the closing keynote on where threat intelligence goes next 🎀 The argument: KMT β€” Know, Met, Trust β€” ran the industry for two decades, enforced by the physics of being in the same room. That room closed. Travel budgets didn't recover. The next generation of defenders is being raised by tools that answer every question except the one that matters most β€” who do I call? Their answer is bench depth. A feeder-team model for the threat intel community, and a direct challenge to how the industry grows its next generation. Elbsides is sold out β€” but catch our recap as soon as they exit the closing stage tomorrow.

If you're still using 2016 metrics to measure your 2026 defensibility, you might not be standing behind a moat, you might be standing in a puddle. πŸ’§ DNSFilter CTO TK Keanini just published a piece in Forbes Technology Council on what actually makes a technical moat defensible in the age of generative AI. It's not your code. Code is increasingly commoditized. The durable advantage has shifted to what AI can't replicate: Proprietary data, workflow entrenchment, and infrastructure that compounds over time. Worth a read if you're thinking about where your competitive edge actually lives in 2026. πŸ‘‰ Read it on Forbes: forbes.com/councils/forbeste…

We're thrilled to announce that DNSFilter has officially joined the World Economic Forum-hosted Cybercrime Atlas as a community member. 🌐 The Cybercrime Atlas brings together global law enforcement agencies, private-sector security leaders, and international research organizations to map, disrupt, and dismantle the criminal networks behind today's most damaging cyber threats. Insights from the Atlas have supported INTERPOL-led operations resulting in thousands of arrests and the recovery of over $140 million across multiple countries. Cybercriminals share infrastructure, tools, and playbooks across borders. Defenders need to do the same. DNSFilter's vantage point in DNS traffic gives us early visibility into the infrastructure cybercriminals rely onβ€”newly registered phishing domains, command-and-control callbacks, malware distribution infrastructureβ€”often before it appears in conventional threat feeds. We could not be more proud to contribute that intelligence to a community of this caliber. πŸ‘‰ Read the full announcement: dnsfilter.com/blog/dnsfilter…

Knowing something is blocked is only half the story. πŸ” CyberSight's two newest capabilities β€” Threat Trends and Timeline β€” give you the other half. Threat Trends answers the question security teams always struggle with: where is risk actually concentrating? Instead of manually filtering logs user by user, you get a single view showing your top threat categories, riskiest users, and how activity is trending over time. MSPs can pull this per-organization β€” no custom reports, no switching tools. Timeline takes you deeper. When something looks wrong, it reconstructs everything a device was doing hour by hour β€” applications open, sites visited, machine lock/unlock states β€” so you can investigate in one view instead of piecing it together across multiple tools. Both are live today, included in Pro, Enterprise, and Education plans at no extra cost. πŸ‘‰: dnsfilter.com/blog/cybersigh…
