Software provider for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT service management (ITSM) teams, ConnectWise, has announced the launch of ConnectWise Email Security and Security Awareness Training, partnering with Proofpoint, an enterprise cybersecurity provider.
New email security solution built into Asio platform
This solution is AI-powered and built into the ConnectWise Asio platform, helping MSPs strengthen email security, drive behavior change with automated learning, boost revenue, and reduce complexity and costs.
ConnectWise Email Security, in conjunction with Proofpoint, offers defense by combining email protection with seamless platform integration. It enables MSPs to gain centralized visibility into their clients’ security postures, allowing them to proactively monitor threats, automate incident response, and enhance protection for Microsoft 365 environments.
“ConnectWise Email Security and Security Awareness Training with Proofpoint represents a game-changing partnership that delivers enterprise-grade email protection through our unified Asio platform,” said Manny Rivelo, CEO of ConnectWise. “This isn’t just another security tool, it’s a force multiplier for MSPs. By seamlessly integrating Proofpoint’s industry-leading threat intelligence with ConnectWise automation, we’re eliminating operational complexity and amplifying MSPs’ ability to defend against sophisticated email attacks.”
Phishing, ransomware, and malware among top priorities for MSPs and their customers
The solution also provides Advanced Threat Protection to safeguard against sophisticated email threats, including phishing and ransomware. It also defends against data loss by scanning outbound emails for sensitive information and enforcing policies to prevent data leakage and ensure regulatory compliance.
It also features Modern URL Defense, which blocks malicious links in emails to prevent malware infections and credential theft.
With integration into the ConnectWise Asio platform, the solution enables:
- Accelerated revenue: Streamlined onboarding and deployment for MSPs to clone security profiles across tenants and reduce setup time from hours to minutes. MSPs can also expand into new markets that demand enterprise-grade email security.
- Reduced complexity: ConnectWise Asio platform integration and a centralized management console help simplify administration across multiple clients. Automation reduces manual intervention by streamlining threat response and policy enforcement.
- Lower operational costs: Advanced threat detection and built-in compliance tools enable MSPs to prevent costly breaches, fines, and data loss. It offers flexible deployment options, allowing MSPs to quickly adapt to client needs without incurring additional labor overhead.
“We are thrilled to expand our relationship with ConnectWise in delivering a game-changing email security and security awareness training solution for MSPs,” said Blake Sallé, chief revenue officer at Proofpoint. “Our collaboration signifies a commitment to empowering MSPs with the most advanced email security features while leveraging the robust capabilities of ConnectWise. Together, we are dedicated to equipping MSPs with the tools they need to provide unparalleled protection and value to their clients, setting a new standard in cybersecurity excellence.”
