A new sales team, managed security service catalog, vendor incubation program, and training facility are key ways the distributor will fulfill its part of that bargain, according to security executive Alex Ryals (pictured).

Equipped with patented artificial intelligence technology, the new offering aims to help MSPs better view and react to ongoing security threats.

Available at no extra cost, the new functionality lets users of the vendor’s BullPhish ID product identify “targets” for awareness campaigns without manually uploading user lists, according to ID Agent exec Dan Tomaszewski (pictured).

Called Powered Services 2.0, the “go-to-market-in-a-box” offerings are designed to help MSPs launch lucrative new services faster by sharing proven best practices from more experienced providers.

Kevin Lancaster (pictured) will continue to lead the dark web monitoring and security training vendor, which is the latest in a string of purchases by Kaseya and the first since the IT management vendor announced a $500 million funding round last week.

The presales technical staff, partner success team, and additional channel account executives will be among several measures this year aimed at helping traditional product-oriented resellers become security service providers.

The new functionality lets Bitdefender users who also use ConnectWise Automate handle deployment, quarantine management, alerts, notifications, and more without exiting the console they employ for other administrative activities.

The transaction positions Passportal to enhance its products and expand its market reach faster, according to CEO Colin Knox (pictured), who will remain on board as director of MSP product strategy.

The new naming scheme is designed to emphasize the degree to which Continuum offerings combine to form a complete platform for running a managed services practice.

The new functionality, which supports commonly used systems like Adobe Reader, Mozilla Firefox, and Java Runtime Environment, can also automatically install software end users should be using and remove systems they shouldn’t.
