Datto
SaaS Protection with Vade Email Security for O365 offers MSPs comprehensive
protection against data loss and unknown email threats
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – June 18, 2019 – Vade, the global leader in
predictive email defense, and Datto, the
leading global provider of IT solutions delivered through managed service
providers (MSPs), today announced a partnership and joint product bundle
available exclusively to Datto’s MSP partners worldwide. Datto SaaS Protection
with Vade Email Security for O365 combines Datto’s
cloud-to-cloud backup solution with Vade native, AI-based email
security solution for Office 365, allowing MSPs to protect their clients at the
highest point of vulnerability and recover data from any point in time.
According to IDC1,
Microsoft Office 365 is the most widely adopted email solution, with a 54%
share of the overall email applications market. The ubiquity of Office 365 –
combined with the lucrativeness of user credentials, which provide a single
entry point to the entire platform – has made Microsoft the #1 phished brand for
four straight quarters2. On top of email-borne threats, small
businesses using Office 365 are at risk of data loss from operational errors,
disgruntled employees, ransomware attacks, canceled app licenses and most
commonly: human error.
Advanced Email Filtering for Office 365 Combined with Secure,
Reliable Backup
Vade
for Office 365 uses artificial intelligence and
machine learning to detect highly targeted phishing, spear phishing and malware
attacks. The solution prevents more email threats from reaching users’ inboxes
than any other product by leveraging real-time threat intelligence from 600
million mailboxes globally to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals. Combining
Vade advanced email filtering and Datto SaaS Protection, this new
joint offering provides MSPs with a comprehensive solution for clients’ Office
365 environments that is easy to deploy, manage and sell.
“We’re
excited to partner with Vade to launch their technology in the MSP channel so
MSPs can address the largest vulnerability in security perimeters
today--email,” said Tim Weller, CEO of Datto. “Unlike others, our joint
offering natively integrates with O365 and brings a sophisticated, AI-based
threat detection that’s proven to be accurate in the world’s most demanding
ISPs. It’s right for our MSP partner base because it's in high demand, simple
to manage and offers new and increasing margin opportunity that capitalizes on the
growth of Office 365.”
Datto Partnership an Extension of Vade’s MSP Strategy Tied to
New Funding
The partnership with Datto follows closely on the heels of
Vade announcing it has entered into a €70 million financing agreement with
General Catalyst. Vade plans to use the investment to accelerate its
product innovation and global expansion, with a particular focus on building out
a go-to-market strategy focused on servicing SMB customers through MSPs. To
execute on this strategy, Vade has added several executives to its
board, including Datto Funder Austin McChord; former Akamai Technologies CEO
Paul Sagan; and General Catalyst partner Matthew Brennan. Stephan Dietrich,
Co-Founder/CEO of Neolane, Inc. (acquired by Adobe), will remain on the
company’s Board to serve as Chairman.
“While small businesses are increasingly targeted with
email-borne threats, they lack the budget and technical resources to manage
complex, customizable enterprise-grade email security solutions,” said Georges
Lotigier, Vade CEO. “SMBs are looking to MSPs to fill this
cybersecurity gap but what’s critical for both is a solution that just works.
Through our partnership with Datto, we’re offering small businesses powerful,
AI-based threat detection used by the world’s largest enterprises—through a
solution that offers instant activation and simple, set-it-and-forget-it
configuration for MSPs.”
