Guardz

Claude just pulled up to the SMB party, and it's mingling with everyone. 🤖

From drafting emails to crunching docs to running half the office's brainpower, AI assistants are quietly becoming SMB coworkers. The smart move for MSPs is knowing exactly what these tools do before clients start asking.

Elli Shlomo broke down Claude's core features, real SMB use cases, and the security stuff MSPs should have on their radar.

Brazil, the energy is real. 🇧🇷

"The next chapter of cybersecurity will not be won by those who accumulate tools, but by those who execute security better." That's Guilherme Rabinovitsch, Co-Founder of Cysfera, calling out exactly why the Guardz x Cysfera partnership makes sense.

The MSPs leading the way are the ones executing with focus and clarity. Cysfera knows the Brazilian MSP landscape inside and out, and we bring the agentic security platform built for how MSPs actually run. Together we're handing Brazilian MSPs a serious advantage built around how they already operate best.

This is the start of something loud.

Plot twist: ransomware isn't the main character. 🍿

Malware is running the show at 66.3% of detected threats across SMB environments, while ransomware sits at just 4.7%. The headlines and the data are telling very different stories right now.

Our 2026 Threat Report has the full breakdown of what's actually hitting MSPs and where the real action is.

Guardz API has been live for just a few days, and the response is already massive. MSPs are showing strong demand for bringing security directly into the tools they already use.

With a simple API call, they can seamlessly access issues, incidents, protected users, endpoint information, and critical security insights, all without disrupting their existing workflows.

This is just one example of how Guardz is continuously innovating to empower MSPs to work the way they prefer.

See how easily you can use it yourself. https://okt.to/uvAaV1

AI just got a job offer from Main Street and it accepted.

Anthropic launched Claude for Small Business with 15 agentic workflows that plug directly into QuickBooks, HubSpot, DocuSign, Canva, and Slack. This is AI moving from the chat window into the operating layer of SMBs.

For MSPs, this is a huge opportunity. 41% of SMBs already want MSP help deploying AI, and the real value isn't just the setup. It's the data governance, permission management, and security guidance that makes it all work safely. MSPs who start offering AI readiness assessments and phased deployment frameworks are positioning themselves as strategic advisors, not just tech support.

Blink and you miss it. That is the pace of threats hitting SMB environments right now.

Our Threat Report is out, and the numbers are not theoretical. 89% of monitored SMBs had at least one compromised user. Attackers are not waiting, and the environments MSPs protect cannot afford tools that do.

Dor Eisner, Elli Shlomo, and Doni Brass share what they are seeing on the ground, where attacks are originating, and what MSPs are already doing to stay ahead of it.

31% of users have compromised passwords every month.

Not because something broke. Because access was already exposed. Attackers are not breaking in anymore, they are logging in with valid credentials and moving through environments like they belong there. That is what makes these attacks faster, quieter, and so much harder to catch.

This is not a tooling problem. It is an identity problem.

The 2026 Threat Report breaks down how compromised credentials are driving real attacks across MSP environments and what needs to change now.

Your EDR says it's working. But have you actually tested it? 🤔

Run 9 real-world attack simulations on a live endpoint and see exactly what gets caught, what slips through, and where your stack breaks down. No setup, no risk, under 5 minutes. ⚡

It's the kind of stress test that changes conversations in onboarding and QBRs, and it's a lot better to find the gaps yourself before an attacker does.

That's a wrap on '26. 🎉

Three days of real conversations, packed sessions, and MSPs who showed up ready to talk security without the fluff. The booth stayed busy until the very last minute, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

One last winner to celebrate before we close the chapter: congrats to Felix Barba on the AirPods! 🎧

Big love to the Guardz crew who made it all happen: Doni Brass, Cameron Peterson, Dave Maik, Kassandra Marín, Andrew Silden, and Marelise Martinez. You showed out. 👊

See you at the next one!
