San Francisco, California — September 1, 2026 — HENNGE Inc., a cloud identity and cybersecurity company, today announced its participation as a sponsor and exhibitor at 2026 ChannelPro DEFEND: Alexandria, taking place September 1–2, 2026, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia.

ChannelPro DEFEND is a two-day cybersecurity event designed for managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs), and other IT channel partners. The event combines cybersecurity education with practical strategies for strengthening client protection, developing security services, and growing recurring revenue.

As part of the event, Dawn Sizer, CEO of 3rd Element Consulting and a member of HENNGE’s MSP Advisory Board, will present a HENNGE-sponsored keynote on September 1 at 5:25 PM titled, “Identity Is the New Perimeter: What’s Missing From Your Clients’ M365 and Google Workspace Security Stacks.”

The session will examine a growing gap in SMB security: while multi-factor authentication remains important, it does not provide the contextual access controls needed to determine whether a login should actually be trusted. Sizer will discuss why conditional access is becoming an essential part of managed identity security and how MSPs can strengthen protection for clients whose existing Microsoft licenses may not include these capabilities.

For MSPs, closing that gap also creates an opportunity to make identity security a more consistent part of their managed service offering. By delivering stronger access controls as a practical, repeatable service, MSPs can better protect client environments while adding value to their existing security stack.

Throughout the event, HENNGE’s team will be available at its booth to meet with attendees and demonstrate HENNGE Identity, the company’s cloud-based identity provider (IdP) and identity and access management (IAM) platform. HENNGE Identity helps MSPs secure Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other SaaS environments through conditional access policies, secure login protection, multi-factor authentication, and centralized identity management.

“Identity security is becoming an important part of the managed security conversation, especially for MSPs serving SMBs,” said Robert Sharp, President and CEO of HENNGE Inc. “The challenge is making stronger protection practical for clients without adding unnecessary cost or complexity. We’re looking forward to joining the ChannelPro community and talking with MSPs about how identity security can become a scalable part of the services they already provide.”

Attendees are encouraged to visit the HENNGE booth during ChannelPro DEFEND to meet the team, see HENNGE Identity in action, and learn more about HENNGE’s MSP Partner Program.
