We had an absolute blast in Las Vegas at our first-ever CompTIA ChannelCon! ChannelCon gave us the opportunity to learn more about channel partnerships and also to see what new and innovative technologies are coming onto the scene.
The first day was filled with many great speakers and breakout sessions that we were able to attend. We had an amazing time at our booth and got to talk to a lot of new people about the positives of DNS-based filtering.
We had our first-ever customer event on the first evening of ChannelCon. Thanks to Beer Park for hosting us as we enjoyed dining under the lights of the Miracle Mile. Here we got to really learn more about why our customers stay loyal to us.
The last two days were a blur of conversations, sessions, and great guest speakers. Talking to many new people and introducing our product is something we always enjoy! We got to see a lot of people’s first reactions and impressions of DNSFilter.
Why people at ChannelCon ‘19 loved us:
- We are 25-50% of the cost of Cisco Umbrella
- Simple interface with 24/7 customer support
- Works better and faster than Cisco Umbrella
ChannelCon ‘19 was capped off with an amazing talk with Todd Thibodeaux and Shaquille O’Neal. It was great learning about Shaq’s tech business ventures and also hearing him serenade us with some 1980’s pop hits.
Shaq also left us all with some valuable words of wisdom. One of those was his favorite quote from Bill Gates, which was “Don’t focus on the problem, focus on the solution”. One of his other fantastic quotes was “In leadership, you have to balance tasks with the team relationship. If you focus too much on one then the other one suffers.”
What a great way to round off such an exciting event. If you missed us at ChannelCon, please feel free to contact us at our website to ask any questions or set up a demo!

New clients are coming in, and revenue is rising, yet the day-to-day operation feels more stretched, not more efficient. The service desk is constantly busy. Senior techs keep getting pulled into escalations. The team is working harder just to maintain the same standard of delivery.The usual response is to hire more people. On...
The Hidden Cost of “Good Enough” Security in MSP Environments
“Good enough” security checks the boxes and keeps the dashboards green. It covers the basics and gets you through onboarding. But in MSP environments, “good enough” usually means nothing breaks badly enough to force action. And that’s exactly the problem.The tooling system doesn’t fail. It just becomes more expensive to run, gradually turning your service desk into a permanent cleanup crew.Over time, reactive security tools create a profitability...
SASE vs SSE: What's the Difference and Why It Matters for Your Security Stack
If you’ve spent any time researching modern network security, you’ve likely come across SASE and SSE used interchangeably, sometimes even in vendor messaging. The result is a lot of confusion around two concepts that are closely related but not identical.
