Innovative Threat Detection and Response
Technology Builds Upon Datto’s Endpoint Security Offering for
MSPs
Datto Holding Corp. (Datto)
(NYSE:MSP), the leading global provider of cloud-based software and
security solutions purpose-built for Managed Service Providers
(MSPs), today announced that it has acquired threat detection and
response company Infocyte, extending Datto’s security capabilities
that protect, detect, and respond to cyberthreats found within
endpoints and cloud environments.
Based in Austin, Texas, Infocyte is an innovator in Endpoint
Detection and Response (EDR) technologies and Managed Detection and
Response (MDR) services. Founded by threat intelligence experts
from renowned cybersecurity institutions within the U.S. military,
Infocyte’s patented technologies continuously collect and correlate
data from endpoints to identify potential threats. Utilizing this
platform is a team of specialized security analysts in a Security
Operations Center (SOC) who can respond in real-time to escalated
cyberthreats.
“Datto has always focused on enabling its MSP partners to secure
the digital assets – both applications and data – of their Small
and Medium Business (SMB) clients. The addition of the Infocyte
team and technologies augments our capabilities within the critical
Protect, Detect, and Respond stages outlined in the NIST
organizational security framework,” said Tim Weller, CEO of Datto.
“Infocyte’s offerings are complementary to Datto RMM Ransomware
Detection and SaaS Defense application security products in those
same NIST stages.”
Weller continued, “In 2022, we will continue to leverage the
power of our Datto RMM platform by fully integrating Infocyte’s
patented technology, further securing endpoints and fortifying this
key first line of defense for MSPs. Today, we welcome the Infocyte
team, who will join us in developing our rapidly expanding set of
MSP-delivered security offerings. MSPs are squarely in the security
business, so Datto continues to make security a top investment
focus.”
“We look forward to joining Datto and to further securing the
SMBs and other clients served by its vast network of MSPs around
the world,” said Curtis Hutcheson, CEO of Infocyte. “Securing
endpoints from advanced threats continues to be a top challenge for
SMBs. With Datto’s partner community and growing security
portfolio, we will be able to dramatically expand our reach to
millions of endpoints under management, enabling Datto’s partners
to provide their SMB customers with leading detection and response
technologies.“
