Threat Watch Live – Cyber security Under Pressure: Compliance, Risk and the Future of Managed Security

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, organisations are under growing pressure to strengthen resilience, meet rising compliance expectations and make smarter decisions about how security is managed.

For MSPs, IT leaders and business decision makers alike, the challenge is no longer just about having the right tools in place, but understanding how risk, regulation and operational reality come together.

In this episode of Threat Watch Live, we welcome Mostyn Thomas, Senior Director of Security at Pax8 and a respected voice in the cyber security and managed services community. Drawing on more than two decades of experience across MSPs, cyber security, compliance and partner enablement, Mostyn will share his perspective on the threats, frameworks and strategic decisions shaping security conversations today.

Join us for an insightful discussion covering the future of managed security services, the growing role of compliance, cyber resilience, client risk and what organisations need to understand as security expectations continue to rise.
