The organizer lists MSPs, MSSPs, and IT channel partners as intended attendees.
It suits owners and sales leads at MSPs and MSSPs who want to add or sharpen a security offering, since the first day is a workshop split into four tracks covering risk mitigation, response, business growth and tools. The speaker list mixes channel business leaders such as Dawn Sizer of 3rd Element Consulting with attorney Bradley Gross, so the content leans toward running and selling a security practice, and in-house security staff at end-user companies would get less from it.
Attendees at MSP and IT channel events usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts or polos and chinos, and some wear a blazer for the sessions.
