ConnectWise has announced that ConnectWise MDR will be integrated with Microsoft’s small and medium business-focused security solutions. This collaboration is intended to strengthen cybersecurity management through the integration of ConnectWise MDR and Microsoft Defender for Business standalone and as part of Microsoft 365 Business Premium.

MSPs of all sizes can leverage the integration to provide enterprise-grade cybersecurity and business solutions to small and medium-sized businesses in a variety of industries.
