Cloud-based Datto has acquired BitDam, an Israel-based cyber threat detection company to add phishing defence to its channel partners armoury.
BitDam’s cyber-defence platform secures collaboration tools, such as M365 and Google Workspace, from ransomware, malware, and phishing.
MSPs report phishing as the most common cause of successful ransomware breaches, according to Datto’s annual Global State of the Channel Ransomware Report, a survey of global MSPs.
Datto CEO, Tim Weller, said the acquisition marks an important step on his company security journey, coming on the heels of its recent launch of Ransomware Detection in Datto RMM.
“Both products deliver new revenue and margin opportunities to our 17,000 MSP partners just as cyber attacks on SMBs are proliferating. We welcome the elite BitDam security team to Datto as we continue to execute on an ambitious security roadmap for our partners.”
