Part of an ongoing effort to add more managed service providers to its channel, the new addition to the company’s Partner Advantage Network offers benefits specifically tailored to the needs of companies that earn recurring revenue from SMBs.

Held at TopGolf in Brooklyn Center, Minn., the one-day event featured cybersecurity educational sessions and peer networking.

Though the managed services vendor has a toe in the security water through steps like its alliance with email security vendor Vade Secure, business development exec Rob Rae (pictured) says it’s biding its time before rolling out anything more ambitious.

The new service is designed to help MSPs identify, analyze, and prevent vulnerabilities for their clients.

According to CISO John Ford (pictured), the vendor is teaching its coder security best practices, rolling out a new team of security “champions,” and engaging in M&A discussions with over half a dozen vendors.

The backup and security vendor also announced forthcoming plans to enhance existing integrations between Cyber Cloud and ConnectWise’s RMM and PSA solutions.

The new functionality, which is the first of its kind for Beachhead, is designed to boost technician productivity by providing alerts, status information, and billing data from directly inside the Datto product, rather than requiring them to swivel between consoles.

The new system aggregates and reports on application, security, and connectivity data from Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls, automating what is otherwise often a time-consuming manual process.

The new tool provides a centralized service that businesses and MSPs can use to identify critical patches, prioritize their deployment, and monitor the outcome to maintain security integrity.

Version 14.2 of the vendor’s NG Firewall platform adds functionality for monitoring search terms and blocking objectionable YouTube content. The new appliances offer upgraded processors, faster storage, and speedier networking capabilities.
