ConnectWise and SentinelOne have unveiled a joint managed cybersecurity strategy aimed at helping MSPs scale threat detection and response through deeper integration of Managed EDR, AI-driven security, and automation.
ConnectWise and SentinelOne deepen MSP security collaboration
Announced at Black Hat USA 2026, the strategy establishes a framework for deeper collaboration that brings together the AI-driven security capabilities of SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform with ConnectWise’s managed security expertise and the agentic operational workflow capabilities of the ConnectWise platform that MSPs use to serve their customers.
The strategy features a number of principles:
- Build on the ConnectWise Managed EDR with SentinelOne foundation
- Make security intelligence easier to operationalize across MSP environments
- Use AI and automation to support faster, more consistent action
- Maintain human oversight and operational control
- Preserve partner choice through open technologies and ecosystem collaboration
- Introduce new capabilities through clear, partner-ready milestones
“MSPs are being asked to protect more customers, manage greater complexity, and respond to threats that move faster than traditional operating models can support,” said Manny Rivelo, CEO of ConnectWise. “ConnectWise and SentinelOne share a vision for helping MSPs meet that challenge. By aligning our strategies, we can bring forward meaningful capabilities in the right sequence, with clear and practical value for partners at each step.”
“We believe this partnership strengthens ConnectWise’s position as the platform of choice for MSPs delivering Managed EDR services at scale today, and as we jointly create new security service capabilities in the coming quarters.”
AI and automation underpin autonomous threat defense
According to the organizations, this joint vision is focused on helping MSPs deliver value in the AI era through secured AI usage and stopping AI-powered threats through governed autonomous threat detection, investigation, and response that maintains expert human analysis control.
SentinelOne and ConnectWise each bring key components to this shared strategy of improving managed cybersecurity.
SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform provides AI-driven prevention, detection, investigation, and response through one agent wherever AI now runs.
Meanwhile, ConnectWise brings expertise in MSP operations, managed security services, service orchestration, and workflows partners use to support their customers.
Additionally, the ConnectWise Managed EDR with SentinelOne foundation helps MSPs extend protection across customer environments without requiring them to independently build, staff, and operate a SOC.
“MSPs are critical to expanding access to advanced cybersecurity, particularly for organizations that cannot build extensive security operations of their own,” said Michael Cremen, President and Chief Revenue Officer of SentinelOne.
“Our work with ConnectWise reflects a shared commitment to helping MSPs use advanced security technology effectively and at scale. We look forward to continuing that work in the coming quarters in ways that help our mutual partners and their customers confidently and securely embrace their AI advantage.”
