With Threat Detection and Response, inforcer is now the single, centralised platform for multi-tenant Microsoft 365 management across the entire security lifecycle, both left of boom and right of boom.” www.inforcer.com/inforcer-tdr-early-access … No hype, just automation that works Now available on the Pax8 marketplace, Londonbased cybersecurity vulnerability management platform RoboShadow gives MSPs a single, integrated platform for vulnerability assessment, Microsoft 365 security visibility, automated remediation and compliance reporting that reduces the time service providers need to spend on repetitive security tasks and reporting. RoboShadow CEO Terry Lewis said: “RoboShadow was born inside an MSP, built by people who’ve lived the pain, the pressure and the chaos of trying to keep customers secure while running a profitable business. For years the industry has made cyber security feel scary, complicated and expensive, and now everyone’s talking about big AI models like Mythos as if they’re going to magically fix everything overnight. MSPs don’t need hype, they need automation that works today. That’s exactly why RoboShadow exists. “AI can remove up to 80% of the manual grind MSPs deal with daily so we built it into the core of the platform. We use AI in the most practical way possible: to kill manual effort, boost margins and make security services something MSPs can actually deliver at scale without burning out their teams.” RoboShadow’s combination of automation, agentic AI and multi-tenant MSP workflows enable MSPs to extract greater value from their security operations without increasing the management burden. Vulnerabilities can be prioritised and remediation automated through agentic AI, reducing triage and remediation time by up to 80%, while evidence-based reporting aligned to frameworks such as Cyber Essentials becomes significantly easier, cutting preparation time from days to hours. www.roboshadow.com … Vodafone Business launches DaaS for mobile devices Vodafone Business has launched a Device as a Service (DaaS) solution for smartphones and tablets from leading manufacturers including Apple, Samsung and Google.
