Called Continuum Security and scheduled to reach market early next year, the solution combines software for erecting and managing a defensive perimeter with threat detection and response technology and a 24/7 security operations center.

In a keynote at this year’s Community Live partner event, CEO Mark Cattini (pictured) argued that the productivity Autotask’s integrated software suite makes possible frees up time MSPs can use to re-invent themselves as digital technology strategists.

The new offerings combine formerly discrete equivalents from Avast itself and AVG, the security and managed services vendor it purchased last year.

The new release also adds hover-over status icons to pop up menus for improved dashboard visibility.

The acquisition positions the managed services software maker to add a more robust threat intelligence engine, mobile-friendly interface, and multilingual code base to its MSP Mail security, archiving, and continuity solution.

The new addition to the vendor’s Unbox managed infrastructure-as-a-service platform emails MSPs or an MSP’s ticketing system when services need attention.

Built around a completely new three-panel design, the revamped GUI seeks to boost technician productivity by providing more customization options and allowing MSPs to align their ticketing process more closely with service level agreement commitments.

Due to reach market this quarter, the new release will integrate with Kaseya’s RMM solution to let IT infrastructure managers address technical issues and perform maintenance tasks through a single interface.

The new enhancements aim to simplify the selling and management of VIPRE solutions for channel partners.

The fledgling RMM and network monitoring vendor, which recruited its first 1,000 MSPs in just over 18 months, has hired a new chief revenue officer and begun staffing up its sales and marketing organization in a bid to add more partners at an even faster clip.
