Beyond the Alerts: Actionable Insights from the BROC Frontlines

Episode Summary: 

Cyber threats evolve daily, and MSPs need more than just alerts — they need actionable intelligence. In this Beyond the Alerts: Actionable Insights from the BROC session, Blackpoint Cyber shares how its Security Operations Center, Threat Intelligence, Research, and Detection Engineering teams work together to uncover emerging threats and turn them into real-world guidance for partners.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How Blackpoint’s SOC, Threat Intelligence, Research, and Detection Engineering teams collaborate under the BROC to deliver faster response and contextualized intelligence.
• Why community sharing of real-time intelligence, threat notices, and curated briefings empowers MSPs to proactively strengthen defenses.
• The latest adversary tactics, including edge device exploitation (targeting VPNs/appliances with weak creds or no MFA) and fake CAPTCHA campaigns (tricking users into running malicious code).
• Practical steps to defend against these threats: patch management, user awareness training, exposure management, layered defenses, and continuous monitoring.
• Why traditional controls like MFA and AV, while critical, must be paired with contextual detection and post-exploitation response to truly reduce risk.
