Despite the recession, speakers at the distributor’s IoT Virtual Symposium event said today, spending on IoT solutions is heating up.

The launch this month of the company’s Managed Remote Desktop solution and MSP University enablement platform are the latest steps toward building what CEO Brian Helwig (pictured) says will be “the number one MSP platform on the planet.”

Unveiled during the staffing and outsourced service provider’s 2020 Build IT conference today, the new offerings include an online university, peer groups, an employee performance management solution, and an MSP consulting service.

New features added to the offering include dark web monitoring and the “human risk analytics” functionality Bitdefender introduced in July. Subscribers can also now choose among Core, Advanced, and Enterprise packages.

Establishing a trusted business adviser relationship with clients during these uncertain times can contribute to collaborative success and long-term growth.

Wondering how dangerous the cybersecurity landscape is lately? Don’t count malware variants. Count hoodie sales. After all, hackers wear hoodies, so more hoodies means more hackers. It’s simple! Just ask Matt, Rich, and guest host Rory Sanchez, CEO of True Digital Security, who also have thoughts on Kaseya’s new phishing defense solution and pending IPO, RocketCyber’s new managed SOC service, and a new cloud management vendor from the founders of N-able.

Gavin Garbutt (pictured left) and Derek Belair (pictured right) say Augmentt, their new company, is building a complete portfolio for profitably administering SaaS applications rather than the physical infrastructure that old school RMM tools support.

Consolidating multitenant environments will help customers achieve more efficient operations, optimize collaboration and engagement, and improve management of resources.

The outsourced as-a-service offering, which includes threat remediation assistance, is part of a strategic business model shift by RocketCyber from making security products to providing security services.

“If you boil them all down, they’re about MSPs being able to be more efficient,” says Chief Strategy Officer Mike Puglia (pictured) of the changes, which Kaseya discussed during its 2020 Connect IT conference.
