This full-day, hands-on certification workshop takes MSPs from Microsoft 365 security fundamentals through Purview configuration and Copilot readiness. Attendees will assess their own environment against the SMB 1001 2026 and CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations benchmarks, identify security and compliance gaps, and use CIPP templates to build a repeatable path to remediation.

The afternoon shifts from securing the Microsoft 365 environment to preparing the data layer for AI. You'll work through Purview policies including DLP, retention, sensitivity labels, and sensitive information types, learning how to define what Copilot can access and how those controls can be standardized and deployed through CIPP.

Completion earns the T3 credential, an MSP-specific credential focused on the Copilot layer and the security, compliance, and data-governance foundations required to deploy it responsibly. Attendees leave with a scored baseline, deployable templates, and a practical methodology they can apply across client environments.

As AI becomes embedded across the technology stack, MSPs and their clients need a practical way to identify and manage the new risks introduced by third-party vendors and solutions. This four-hour course gives attendees a structured approach to evaluating AI risk using established cybersecurity principles, due care, and due diligence.

Nearly half of the course is hands-on. Attendees will work through a simulated vendor assessment with instructor Greg Rasner, learning how to identify AI-related risks, evaluate their potential impact, and apply those findings to real-world third-party risk management. For MSPs, the methodology can be extended across client vendor portfolios to help make AI risk a manageable part of ongoing security and advisory services.

Completion earns the AI and Third Party Risk certification and 4 CPE credits. Attendees leave with a practical framework they can immediately apply when evaluating vendors, technology partners, and AI-enabled solutions.

Modern cyber advisory increasingly requires MSPs and vCISOs to connect risk, security, compliance, and business outcomes in one coherent client conversation. This three-part Cynomi certification workshop teaches attendees how to do exactly that—from establishing the business strategy behind an engagement to scaling delivery with AI and proving value through warranties and insurance outcomes.

Attendees will learn how Business Impact Analysis and Business Continuity Planning can create the strategic foundation for an advisory relationship, then work hands-on in the Cynomi platform to explore how AI can automate repeatable work without replacing the judgment that makes advisory services valuable. The workshop closes by showing how service warranties can create differentiation, strengthen credibility, and connect cybersecurity outcomes to tangible financial value for both MSPs and their clients.

Completion earns the Cynomi CISO Intelligence Certification, recognizing the ability to operate across the full arc of a modern cyber advisory practice: strategic, AI-enabled, and warrantied. Attendees leave with a credential, a repeatable framework, and hands-on experience they can put to work with clients immediately.

This 2.5-hour technical bootcamp gives members of the Horizon3 Vanguard Partner Program hands-on experience with the NodeZero autonomous pentesting platform. Designed for solution architects, technical professionals, and cybersecurity leaders, the workshop combines foundational platform knowledge with practical exercises focused on deploying and operating NodeZero in real-world environments.

Attendees will work through Runner deployment, pentest configuration, and credential injection, then learn how to analyze results, prioritize remediation, and apply best practices for continuous autonomous pentesting. The session also provides insight into the NodeZero product roadmap and gives participants an opportunity to work directly with the Horizon3.ai team and fellow security practitioners.

Completion earns the NodeZero Administrator Certification, validating the knowledge and practical skills required to deploy, configure, and manage NodeZero as part of an ongoing autonomous pentesting program.
