At an event headlined by a roundtable discussion with none other than Peyton Manning and a surprise performance by -- wait for it -- Nelly (yes, that Nelly, of "Hot in Here" fame), by far the biggest development of Pax8's inaugural Beyond Conference was Apptega's launch of Edge.
Okay. We're biased. But this *is* big news for MSPs.
Apptega Edge immediately uplevels the expertise and technical sophistication of MSPs in the lucrative and quickly growing cybersecurity compliance space, enabling them to offer end-to-end services that meet the needs of a broad range of clients, from initial assessment of gaps through to remediation and even cyber insurance procurement. We showcased it at Booth 120 and connected with the 1,600 passionate MSPs in attendance interested in delivering top-notch compliance program management to the businesses they support.
The t-shirts were an understandably big hit, too (get yours here if you missed out)!

The launch of Apptega Edge lowers the barriers to entry for the 40,000 MSPs looking to break into the cybersecurity compliance space. It gives them an Edge over the competition.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s some press from the event:
"Apptega Edge is a game-changer for the entire MSP industry. For the first time, we have one platform to cost-effectively deliver cybersecurity assessments, program management, reporting, and cyber insurance to a huge, emerging market. The integrated marketplace in Edge lets us map our line card of products and services to any compliance gap, which drives more sales, loyalty, and value to our customers. Any MSP getting serious about cybersecurity and compliance will love Edge.” - Andrew Edstrom, CEO of Assessivate
“Now, over 150,000 MSPs worldwide can easily build, manage, and report on their customers' cybersecurity programs, with a cost-effective and user-friendly solution.” – DataM Intelligence Market Research
“Apptega has shipped its first compliance-as-a-service solution. And its first security software marketplace. And its first automated cyber insurance solution. All three functions are actually components of a single fully-integrated product called Apptega Edge, introduced this Monday and aimed squarely at MSPs.” – Channelholic
In an interview with eChannel News, Armistead Whitney, CEO of Apptega, commented, “The tailwinds for this have never been stronger and we’re thrilled to make it easy for MSPs to capitalize on this growing $40 billion market.”
Edge was created to be a continuation of Apptega’s goal to make cybersecurity easy for everyone – and Pax8’s inaugural Beyond conference was the perfect place to launch it.
