Webinar: How Smart MSSPs Using AI to Boost Margins with Half the Staff. Every managed security provider is chasing the same problem in 2026 — too many alerts, too few analysts, and clients demanding "CISO-level protection" at SMB budgets. The truth? Most MSSPs are running harder, not smarter. And it's breaking their margins. That's where the quiet revolution is happening: AI isn't just writing reports or surfacing risks — it's rebuilding how security services are delivered. The Shift Until now, MSSPs scaled by adding people. Each new client meant another analyst, another spreadsheet, another late-night ticket queue. AI automation flips that model. It handles assessments, benchmarking, and reporting in minutes — freeing your team to focus on strategy, not data entry. Early adopters are already seeing double-digit margin gains and faster onboarding cycles — without increasing headcount. Real Proof — Not Theory When Chad Robinson, CISO at Secure Cyber Defense, applied Cynomi's AI platform, his team stopped drowning in manual checklists. He didn't just automate reports; he turned junior analysts into "virtual CISOs," expanding coverage and growing revenue from advisory services — all by standardizing delivery through AI. Secure your spot for the live session ➜ What You'll Learn In this session, Cynomi CEO David Primor and Chad Robinson unpack the real operating blueprint: If you're still hiring your way out of the workload crisis, you're already behind. The MSSPs winning 2026 aren't bigger — they're smarter. Join the live session to see how AI can scale your security business without scaling your payroll. Register for the Webinar ➜
