ConnectWise, a global leader in software solutions for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT service management (ITSM) teams, has announced the launch of ConnectWise Email Security™ and Security Awareness Training with Proofpoint. The AI-driven solution, integrated into the ConnectWise Asio™ platform, is designed to help MSPs strengthen email defenses, reduce complexity, and accelerate growth by offering enterprise-grade protection to small and midsized businesses (SMBs).
With phishing responsible for nearly 90% of cyberattacks, email security has become a critical priority for SMBs. The new ConnectWise solution combines Proofpoint’s advanced threat intelligence with ConnectWise’s automation to provide centralized visibility, seamless monitoring, and proactive response capabilities. The platform enhances Microsoft 365 security while also reducing operational costs for MSPs.
The offering delivers Advanced Threat Protection against phishing, ransomware, malware, and business email compromise (BEC) attacks, while data loss prevention tools scan outbound messages for sensitive information to ensure regulatory compliance. Proofpoint’s Modern URL Defense also prevents credential theft and malware infections by blocking malicious links before they are clicked.

“ConnectWise Email Security and Security Awareness Training with Proofpoint represents a game-changing partnership that delivers enterprise-grade email protection through our unified Asio platform,” said Manny Rivelo, CEO of ConnectWise. “This isn’t just another security tool, it’s a force multiplier for MSPs. By seamlessly integrating Proofpoint’s industry-leading threat intelligence with ConnectWise automation, we’re eliminating operational complexity and amplifying MSPs’ ability to defend against sophisticated email attacks.”
The platform further simplifies management by enabling MSPs to clone security profiles across tenants, cutting onboarding time from hours to minutes. This efficiency, combined with reduced manual intervention and compliance-ready safeguards, positions MSPs to expand into new markets demanding robust security.
“We are thrilled to expand our relationship with ConnectWise… setting a new standard in cybersecurity excellence,” added Blake Sallé, Chief Revenue Officer at Proofpoint.
