Speaking from the floor of the Cloud Connections 2025 conference, Dino De Palma of True North Advisory emphasized the intersection of culture and innovation in the cloud communications sector during a roundtable he moderated on “Innovating at Scale: Creating Next-Gen Cloud Products.” De Palma, a longtime industry leader and advisor, said the conversation focused on how companies can maintain culture and alignment while developing new technologies in hybrid or remote work environments. “The key theme that emerged was balancing remote collaboration tools—like Zoom, Teams, and Webex—with the need for in-person connection,” said De Palma. “That offline conversation still matters. It can spark deeper, longer discussions that you can't always fit into a back-to-back Teams schedule.” True North Advisory, a boutique advisory firm, provides strategic consulting for cloud and communications companies, helping clients refine their product positioning, go-to-market strategies, and long-term relationship building. De Palma underscored that the firm emphasizes hands-on engagement and strategic fit between vendor and buyer. De Palma also highlighted a comment from a participant that resonated with the group: “AI should be viewed as an augmentation of the team—not a replacement.” He noted that embracing AI in a way that enhances productivity, rather than replacing jobs, is essential to building trust and buy-in across teams. He added that the conversation touched on the challenge of “over-communication,” where workers today juggle multiple channels—email, Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, and more—making alignment on company vision more difficult. On the topic of emerging technologies and platform evolution, De Palma observed that small businesses now have greater access to tools traditionally reserved for large enterprises. “We're seeing companies like Clark Chat, Spanoco, and Kiwi delivering mobile-first, easy-to-use solutions that empower micro and small businesses,” he said. “At the end of the day, ease of use is the differentiator.” De Palma is also scheduled to moderate a panel on cloud communications mergers, focusing on the Alianza-Metaswitch and XTM-Evolve IP deals. The session will explore cultural integration, operational challenges, and whether these transactions signal a broader shift in the sector. “There's a lot of M&A activity in the air,” said De Palma. “The question now is: what's next?” For more information on True North Advisory, visit truenorthadvisory.com.

Podcast with Chandra Pandey, Founder & CEO, Seceon – recorded at MSP Summit, Channel Partners 2025 At the 2025 MSP Summit in Las Vegas, Seceon founder and CEO Chandra Pandey shared how his company is reshaping cybersecurity delivery for MSPs and MSSPs. Speaking with Doug Green, publisher of Technology Reseller News, Pandey outlined a powerful vision: giving MSPs the tools to provide better-than-enterprise-grade security at a price point even the smallest customers can afford. “Threat actors don't care which vendor you use—they know how to get around siloed tools. You need a platform that works in real time, across all telemetry, with built-in remediation.” Founded over a decade ago, Seceon was built from the ground up as a cybersecurity platform, not a patchwork of point solutions. The result is a fully integrated stack that ingests application, network, and endpoint telemetry in real time, correlates context with global threat intelligence, and automatically neutralizes threats—through auto-remediation or actionable, guided response. Pandey emphasized Seceon's multi-tenant, multi-tiered architecture, designed specifically to empower MSPs to deliver advanced protection with minimal overhead. For MSPs, that means onboarding hundreds of customers quickly and cost-effectively, while building long-term stickiness and recurring revenue. A featured case study discussed during the podcast tells the story of a mid-sized MSP that suffered a significant breach while using conventional SIEM and EDR tools. After transitioning to Seceon, the company not only secured its infrastructure, but transformed its business—growing revenue by triple digits and achieving 60%+ margins by reselling advanced cyber services through Seceon's platform. “It's not just margin for profit—it's margin to invest in people, deliver better service, and grow. That's the power of platform-based cybersecurity.” Pandey's message to the channel at MSP Summit was clear: cybersecurity is no longer a luxury reserved for the enterprise. With Seceon, MSPs can deliver superior protection to SMBs and SMEs—and thrive doing it. Learn more: www.seceon.com

Welcome to the Detection at Scale Podcast! My name is Jack Naglieri, CEO and founder of Panther Labs and more importantly, I'm also a security practitioner.  When I was part of the Airbnb and Yahoo security teams, I experienced firsthand the challenges of high-scale security monitoring. In 2018, I left Airbnb to fully dedicate myself to solving this problem. In this short episode, I will cover: - Who we are - Why we are doing this podcast - What you can expect on future episodes We can promise you one thing: this is NOT a podcast about selling you what Panther can do. The #1 reason we are doing this, it's because we want to help demystify a lot of techniques that we use to operate effectively at scale.  Thank you for listening and very excited to start this journey together!
