FlashStart at GTIA Channel by CompTIA: Innovation, Partnership, and Cybersecurity at the Core
A Premier Event for the European ICT Ecosystem
The GTIA Channel by CompTIA, held in London on October 13–14, 2025, once again proved to be one of the most significant events for the European ICT ecosystem.
The conference brought together vendors, system integrators, managed service providers (MSPs), distributors, and industry leaders to explore emerging technology trends, market challenges, and new collaboration models.
FlashStart was proud to attend this edition, presenting its expertise and technological innovation in the field of DNS security and web filtering.
Two days filled with insightful discussions, valuable networking, and forward-looking perspectives on how the IT channel is evolving in an increasingly digital and security-driven landscape.
Cybersecurity Trends Discussed at GTIA Channel 2025
The conversations at GTIA Channel 2025 revealed the most pressing cybersecurity trends shaping the ICT industry.
Among the hottest topics were Zero Trust architectures, AI-based threat detection, cloud security, and data sovereignty — all essential to building a safer digital ecosystem across borders.
FlashStart actively contributed to the debate, emphasizing how DNS-level protection represents the first and most effective line of defense against malware, ransomware, and phishing.
By stopping malicious traffic before it even reaches the network, DNS protection reduces attack surfaces and helps companies maintain compliance with international security standards such as ISO 27001 and GDPR.
Another highlight was the rising role of AI and predictive analytics in identifying new threat patterns. FlashStart’s technology uses machine learning algorithms to continuously scan and categorize domains, identifying potential risks in real time and blocking access before damage occurs.
“Cybersecurity is no longer just about reaction — it’s about prediction. And prediction starts with intelligence,” said FlashStart representatives during the roundtable sessions.
