Cybersecurity firms expanding MSP service offerings

Overview

Cybersecurity firms are increasingly developing specialized AI-driven and endpoint security solutions tailored for managed service providers (MSPs) and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs).

Initial developments included a joint strategy between ConnectWise and SentinelOne, unveiled at Black Hat USA 2026. This partnership aims to help MSPs scale threat detection and response by combining AI-driven platforms with managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) to manage increasing operational complexity.

Following this, several other firms expanded their offerings to address ransomware and AI-driven threats. SonicWall introduced MSP-focused endpoint security with ransomware rollback capabilities, while ConnectSecure and Blumira launched AI-assisted training and security operation command centers. Additionally, CrowdStrike began extending its Project QuiltWorks framework to smaller organizations through a global distributor network, utilizing frontier AI models to provide enterprise-grade vulnerability discovery and remediation services.
