Cloud commerce marketplace company Pax8 has partnered with cybersecurity firm Blackpoint Cyber.
The collaboration is designed to bring Blackpoint Cyber's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) technology into the Pax8 Marketplace.
With this integration, managed service providers (MSPs) will have a system in place designed to detect, isolate, and counteract threats continuously throughout the year, the company said.
