The vendor collective gets ready for its final “Channel Strong” tour of the year after pulling off its last community block party of 2022 in Orlando during Hurricane Nicole.

Due within two weeks, the update will include support for MFA via authentication apps, a new set of procurement reports, and the ability to send order tracking numbers to end users automatically.

The company is rapidly staffing up a team tasked with helping MSPs get a security practice off the ground and a separate team led by CISO Patrick Beggs (pictured) charged with protecting ConnectWise products from external attack.

The new functionality, which is designed to help MSPs present the data Liongard collects to clients in a more readable format, is the latest in a string of updates this year that include new PSA integrations and scalability enhancements.

Now in an early access program, with general availability scheduled for early next year, the new feature is the vendor’s latest effort to help MSPs with multiple BDR solutions standardize on one system offering comprehensive functionality.

The recently introduced update is designed to help managers get disaffected employees re-engaged, according to IT By Design CEO Sunny Kaila (pictured).

Current and forthcoming additions to the vendor’s Modes Theory offering aim to help channel pros drive internal alignment around shared objectives and better support their customers’ goals.

The deal marks ConnectWise’s first entry into the market for automated end user payment collection and reconciliation for MSPs.

Attendees at a two-part online “Battle Royale” hosted next week by IT network and marketplace Channel Program will help select this year’s finalists in ConnectWise’s annual competition for startup makers of MSP software.

According to Chief Product Officer Jeff Bishop (pictured), the platform is meant to provide a single interface for everything technicians do. The RMM solution is designed to be a faster, more scalable successor to the vendor’s two existing RMM products.

To prevent more breaches of the kind that struck IT management solutions in the last year, the company says, MSPs must embrace cyber hygiene best practices and vendors must embrace independently audited security frameworks like BSIMM.

15 months after its launch, CompTIA’s ambitious security information sharing and analysis organization is issuing some 50 actionable alerts a month to over 1,120 members based on expert analysis of threat intelligence from across the industry.

The recently introduced enhancements provide more control over what data the unified communications integration platform exchanges with ConnectWise Manage and Autotask PSA, and provides greater visibility into unanswered calls, among other topics.

In conjunction with a “shift left” strategy launched earlier this year that seeks to build security earlier into software development, the company is ramping up threat modeling, rolling out automated tools, and introducing its first formal bug bounty program.

Working through a security information sharing group formed last summer, the two vendors successfully investigated and remediated an attempt to sell an undisclosed MSP’s administrative credentials on the dark web.

Code-named “Flash,” version 2.0 of 1Stream includes new Windows and Mac clients that condense formerly multi-step processes and a feature that automatically pops multiple windows connected to multiple external applications when users answer a call.

Updates to the documentation system allow users to create tickets in ConnectWise Manage or remote into endpoints via ConnectWise Control without changing interfaces. Enhanced synchronization with Manage and ConnectWise Automate is now available too.

Named X360, the new unified entry point for all of Axcient’s products is part of a larger campaign to make buying and delivering business availability solutions simpler for MSPs.

Announced by CEO Jason Magee (pictured), the blockbuster deals add BDR, security, and documentation to a lineup that already included RMM, PSA, quoting, and remote control, positioning ConnectWise to offer one of the industry’s most complete portfolios for MSPs.

Named ConnectWise Engage and powered by technology from PRM vendor Webinfinity, the new system is the latest expression of ConnectWise’s ambition to offer single-pane-of-glass access to all of the tools and resources MSPs need to serve customers.

The backup and security vendor also announced forthcoming plans to enhance existing integrations between Cyber Cloud and ConnectWise’s RMM and PSA solutions.

With strength in numbers, Capstone IT, Choose Networks, Live Consulting, and Networking Results now have national reach.

See what six users of ConnectWise software have to say about private equity firm Thoma Bravo buying the managed service software maker and founder Arnie Bellini (pictured) stepping down as CEO.

Jason Magee (pictured) is now president and COO, Jeff Bishop has become chief product officer, and former chief product officer Craig Fulton has been named the vendor’s first-ever chief customer success officer

Like the vendor’s other products, the new tool is designed to be easily adopted, implemented, and supported by MSPs with limited in-house security expertise who want to enter the cybersecurity services market.

The former Sienna Group LLC will now be the ConnectWise Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. Its goal, according to ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini (pictured), will be closing the gap between demand for security expertise and available supply in the channel.

Based on technology acquired along with German software maker Protected Networks, the new system offers features for assigning and removing user permissions, as well as auditing both what users can access and what they have accessed in the past.

The new groups will help MSPs prepare to buy or sell a business and advise traditional hardware and software resellers on how to add as-a-service offerings to their product lineup, according to Arlin Sorensen (pictured), who is leading the initiative.

Available in both free and advanced editions, the new functionality automatically searches for advanced persistent threats, keyloggers, malicious registry changes, and other intrusions that have gained a foothold on monitored end points.

Acronis, Dropsuite, Passportal, Proofpoint, and lesser-known Israeli anti-phishing vendor IRONSCALES join Pax8’s catalog in connection with an ongoing effort to give partners more options to recommend and cross-sell within key product categories.

According to CEO Arnie Bellini (pictured), core elements of the initiative include the launch of an open source security integration standard and the introduction of new cybersecurity solutions, some of which will compete with products from ConnectWise partners.

The vendor plans to use price cuts, free trial deployments, no-fee onboarding, and other measures to drive adoption of its flagship solution by both newcomers to documentation software and customers of competing vendors, including market leader IT Glue.

The newest addition to the ConnectWise product family, which currently provides centralized control over cloud computing solutions, will soon perform similar functions for backup and security solutions from ConnectWise’s vendor partners.

Developing closer ties with strategic partners and rolling out partner program enhancements will be top priorities for the long-time Ingram Micro executive, who officially becomes eFolder’s new channel and distribution chief today.

That’s according to the Usman Choudhary (pictured), the vendor’s chief product officer, who says that usability—especially on mobile devices—can be the single most important factor in a security system’s effectiveness.

Developed in direct collaboration with ConnectWise, the new offering supplements the outsourced help desk and NOC services IT By Design has been delivering for ConnectWise since last year, and precedes a forthcoming outsourced security operations center.

The network security vendor’s firewalls can now open, close, and reopen tickets in Autotask’s PSA solution automatically. The new Firebox devices, meanwhile, offer small and home office users significant security inspection performance improvements.

New functionality available now and arriving early next year will consolidate multiple, related tickets involving the same device, allow administrators to remote into endpoints from inside a ticket with a single click, and more.

The former Autotask CEO sees upside in the blockbuster deal for the two companies involved and the MSPs they do business with, but wonders how long their commitment to openness and integration with third parties will last.

The new deployment option targets SaaS resellers who want to use ConnectWise’s cloud management system but not the rest of its managed services software suite. New billing and single sign-on capabilities for CloudConsole debuted today as well.

Called ConnectWise Control Free, the new system lets one technician conduct one end user session via up to 3 access agents and can be upgraded to a paid version of the solution as an MSP’s needs grow more sophisticated.

Users of ConnectWise products in the U.S. who register by the end of the month will get 20 percent back on all new Office 365, SharePoint Online, and Exchange Online licenses sold in the first half of 2017.
