Welcome to the August 2025 MSP Minute!
At Climb Channel Solutions, we’re always looking ahead to what’s next for MSPs. This month, we’re spotlighting ThreatDown — a partner-first platform that’s helping MSPs and resellers simplify security, stay ahead of threats, and turn cybersecurity into a growth engine. From smarter automation to deeper integrations, here’s what’s new and what’s next.
Meet Brian Kane
Sr. Director of Global MSP, Alliances, and Strategic Distribution, ThreatDown
With deep experience in building and scaling MSP programs, Brian Kane is leading ThreatDown’s partner-first strategy into its next phase of growth. His focus on automation, integration, and enablement is helping MSPs and resellers deliver stronger protection while unlocking new revenue opportunities. In this edition, Brian shares how ThreatDown is evolving to meet the needs of modern service providers—and why cybersecurity should be seen as a strategic advantage, not just a technical necessity.
Evolving the Partner Program for 2025
ThreatDown’s partner program is built to help MSPs and resellers protect more, manage less, and grow faster. Over the past year, they’ve streamlined onboarding, expanded marketplace availability, and made it easier to scale with flexible licensing and multi-tenant management. In 2025, they’re going even further—with deeper integrations and enhanced automation that reduce time spent on day-to-day security tasks.
Staying Ahead of Threats
Phishing and social engineering attacks are getting more targeted, and AI-powered ransomware is moving faster than ever. ThreatDown helps partners stay proactive with layered, AI-driven protection that combines prevention, behavioral detection, and built-in response — so MSPs can keep clients secure and confident.
Simplified Security, Smarter Growth
ThreatDown gives MSPs a single cloud-based console to manage all customers, while resellers can easily provision and scale across environments. With automated remediation, policy deployment, and integrations with leading RMM and PSA tools, partners can reduce repetitive tasks and deliver consistent, enterprise-grade protection.
Compliance Without the Complexity
Meeting compliance requirements is now a must. ThreatDown makes it easier with built-in reporting, policy templates aligned to major frameworks, and automated audit trails — helping partners stay compliant without slowing down service delivery.
More Than a Program — A Growth Engine
ThreatDown’s partner program is designed to drive real results. MSPs benefit from stronger recurring revenue and retention, while resellers get the enablement, sales tools, and co-marketing support to win new business. With dedicated partner managers and flexible pricing, it’s easier than ever to succeed.
Cybersecurity as a Strategic Advantage
ThreatDown helps partners shift the conversation from “security as a cost” to “security as a business driver.” With outcome-based sales plays, vertical-specific messaging, and customer education tools, partners can connect security to reduced downtime, compliance success, and long-term business continuity.
What’s Coming in the Second Half of 2025
Looking ahead, ThreatDown is rolling out new integrations with leading platforms, expanding AI-driven threat intelligence, and adding more automation to speed up incident response. Plus, the partner portal is getting a major upgrade — with richer training, certifications, co-branded marketing assets, and advanced analytics to help partners showcase their value.
The Final Word
“Security should be a growth driver, not a burden,” says Brian Kane. “We’re here to help MSPs and resellers deliver world-class protection — and build stronger, more profitable businesses in the process.”
