Pax8 has added cybersecurity protection solution Malwarebytes to its cloud marketplace. The partnership will provide managed service providers (MSPs) with Malwarebytes' all-in-one endpoint security portfolio to defend against constantly evolving threats posed by modern-day cybercriminals, the companies said.
Through the Pax8 Marketplace, MSPs can access Malwarebytes' entire security portfolio, which helps spot and stop more malware, including zero-day threats, ransomware, fileless attacks and exploits, the companies said.

Pax8's Growth
In late November 2022, Pax8 hit a $1 billion ARR (annual recurring revenue) run rate and said it expected to be EBITDA positive in early 2023, a company spokesperson confirmed to ChannelE2E last year.
The ARR milestone arrived seven months after Pax8 raised $185 million at a $1.7 billion valuation.
Last week, Pax8 named David Powell as Vice President of Sales Strategy. The appointment is part of an effort to assist MSPs in expanding their cybersecurity strategies to meet customers' needs, Pax8 said. Powell will report to Jared Pangretic, SVP of sales, Americas.
In February, Pax8 named Rob Rae Corporate Vice President of Communities and Ecosystems. Rae spent years at Datto from its early BDR days through its acquisitions of other vendors, technology expansions, and eventual IPO. Before Datto, Rae helped build Level Platforms, a remote monitoring and management (RMM) vendor that was acquired by AVG Technologies in 2013.
Next up, the company is preparing the Pax8 Beyond 2023 global partner conference — an inaugural event set for June in Denver, Colorado.
