s the leaves begin to turn and we usher in the fall season , I ’ m excited to welcome you to our September 2024 quarterly edition of IT Channel Insider . With Q4 on the horizon , we ’ re not just looking ahead to year-end strategies — we ’ re already gearing up for an electrifying 2025 ! Our calendar is buzzing with upcoming live events that promise to be game-changers for the IT Channel community . For those of you who ’ ve been with us before , you know how quickly our sponsorship opportunities vanish . So , if you haven ’ t already , now ’ s the time to stake your claim and secure your spot before they ’ re all snapped up . Trust me , you won ’ t want to miss out on the networking , learning , and growth opportunities that lie ahead .
This month , we ’ re excited to bring you inspiring stories of innovation and growth in the IT Channel . Our cover story features David Setzer , founder and CEO of Mailprotector , who has been battling email security threats for over two decades . Setzer ’ s journey from helping his family business go online to founding a company dedicated to email security is a testament to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity .
In our MSP Rockstar feature , we spotlight Todd Clark , CEO and founder of DenaliTEK Incorporated . Clark ’ s story is a powerful reminder of how leveraging partnerships can transform a business . Facing profitability issues in early 2022 , Clark turned his business around by fully engaging with the TMT MSP community and implementing strategic partnerships .
These stories from Mailprotector and DenaliTEK underscore the power of partnerships in the IT channel . Whether it ’ s developing cutting-edge security solutions or transforming business profitability , collaboration and community involvement are proving to be key drivers of success .
As we move forward in this ever-evolving industry , let these stories inspire you to seek out new partnerships , embrace innovation , and continually strive for growth .
Happy reading ,

Tonya Gentry
