Guardz integrates with ConnectWise to boost MSP capabilities

Guardz, the cybersecurity firm that focuses on small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has announced a new collaboration and integration with ConnectWise.

Guardz has successfully completed all required security certifications to ensure the safety and security of its integrations with ConnectWise PSA APIs. This certification not only enhances Guardz’s credibility but also provides greater access to a broader market of Managed Service Providers (MSPs), thereby fostering growth opportunities.

The ConnectWise Invent program is a comprehensive integration collaboration initiative for third-party software providers aiming to merge their solutions with ConnectWise's software. The program is designed to support MSPs globally in their business growth by leveraging innovative technologies and boosting productivity through Tier 1 integration support. To achieve certification, integrators must clear an independent security review that validates the safety and security of the integration.

Guardz will now be able to empower more MSPs with its AI-powered, unified cybersecurity platform tailored for SMB clients by integrating with ConnectWise PSA. This integration will enable MSPs to seamlessly incorporate Guardz incident data into their clients’ ConnectWise PSA environment. This facilitates effective detection, prioritization, and response to incidents directly from their service board. Combining Guardz’s actionable insights on emerging threats and malicious activities with ConnectWise PSA’s automation and management capabilities will enable MSPs to proactively identify and address security gaps, minimizing risks, protecting critical assets, and enhancing operational efficiency.

“We are proud that Guardz is at the forefront of AI-powered cybersecurity, empowering hundreds of MSPs and IT professionals across the globe to deliver comprehensive security tailored specifically for SMBs,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-Founder of Guardz. “With everything required to protect a business in one package, this integration allows more MSPs to significantly increase their range of capabilities while cutting their costs and growing their businesses. Integrating the power of our MSP platform with ConnectWise PSA allows us to provide a powerful combination of threat intelligence, remediation, and automation.”

Chris Timms, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Ecosystems at ConnectWise, expressed enthusiasm for the new integration. “We’re excited to welcome Guardz to the Invent Program at ConnectWise as a certified integrator. Their expertise in security solutions aligns with our mission to enable MSPs with the tools and resources they need to succeed. We look forward to the innovative solutions and value they will bring to our community through the power of the Invent Program,” he said.

Integrators in the Invent program work closely with the ConnectWise API team to create comprehensive integration roadmaps. Upon certification, they gain access to a variety of resources, tools, and benefits, facilitating support throughout the development process.
