ConnectWise launches first global cyber security framework for MSPs

ConnectWise has announced the launch of the first global cyber security framework for managed service providers (MSPs), in an attempt to educate the market and make it easier for MSPs to deliver security solutions. Announced at ConnectWise’s virtual IT Nation Explore event today (24 June), the framework brings together existing security guidance produced by some of the world’s foremost security standards organisations, including the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre and the US’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. It incorporates NCSC’s Cyber Essentials programme and NIST’s Cyber Security Framework. Alongside the framework, ConnectWise is launching two new security products: ConnectWise Fortify for SaaS Security, a detection and response solution that monitors Microsoft accounts for unusual user behaviour, and ConnectWise Fortify for Assessment, a tool helping MSPs sell solutions to small and medium-sized businesses.
