And while we’re talking security, let’s hit some of the product announcements.
Cyan AG has announced the launch of its new cybersecurity solution, cyan Guard 360, designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises, and focusing on MSPs. This product addresses the growing threat of digital attacks, particularly phishing, which has become a prevalent method for cybercriminals. Cyan Guard 360 integrates a threat intelligence platform that utilizes artificial intelligence to prevent attacks.. Initially launched in the DACH region, cyan aims to help companies defend against various digital threats with minimal effort. Cyan AG has over 15 years of experience in the IT industry and has worked with major clients including Deutsche Telekom and Claro Chile.
Huntress introduced a new Sensitive Data Mode aimed at simplifying compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC, which has been a challenging requirement for managed service providers. This feature blocks unauthorized access to controlled unclassified information files while still allowing security analysts to detect threats.
Cisco has announced that its Meraki for Government solution is now authorized under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, known as FedRAMP, at a moderate impact level. This authorization signifies a commitment to enhancing security for federal agencies, ensuring they have access to trusted cloud solutions. Over the past 18 months, Cisco has seen a thirty-three percent increase in products achieving FedRAMP authorization, reflecting its dedication to government customer needs. Additionally, Cisco has doubled its global compliance efforts, resulting in a significant two hundred seventy-one percent increase in global certifications.
Why do we care?
Security is shifting toward automation, compliance enablement, and AI-driven threat intelligence—but MSPs need to focus on real-world outcomes, not just vendor marketing claims. AI-based solutions are now table stakes. This isn’t a differentiator anymore—it’s an expectation.
Compliance complexity is a major pain point for MSPs. By simplifying controlled unclassified information (CUI) protection, Huntress is addressing a major roadblock for IT providers handling government contracts.
33% growth in FedRAMP-certified products is significant. It signals more competition in the federal space, meaning MSPs and IT providers serving government clients need to stay updated on compliance trends.
