ConnectWise Enhances ASIO, ESET Integrates AI, OpenAI Hits 1M Customers, Trust as a KPI?

About this episode

ConnectWise has announced enhancements to its Ozzio platform, which now includes expanded third-party patching for over 7,000 applications, improvements to the professional services automation (PSA) user experience, and advanced robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities. These updates aim to address security vulnerabilities in widely exploited applications and streamline operations for managed service providers (MSPs). The new features are set to improve operational efficiency and security, with the expanded patching available immediately and RPA features expected to roll out in the coming months.

In conjunction with these updates, ESET has integrated its ESET Protect platform with ConnectWise Ozzio, allowing for one-click deployment of security management tools. This integration is designed to enhance the efficiency of security tasks for MSPs, enabling them to meet legal and insurance requirements more effectively. Additionally, ConnectSecure has introduced AI-powered vulnerability management reports that prioritize risks based on business impact rather than just technical severity, further supporting MSPs in delivering proactive risk assessments.

OpenAI has surpassed 1 million business customers, marking it as the fastest-growing business platform in history. A Wharton study indicates that 75% of enterprises using AI technologies report a positive return on investment. Meanwhile, Google has launched Gemini AI tools for stock traders and improved hurricane prediction capabilities through its DeepMind technology, showcasing the growing integration of AI across various sectors, including finance and weather forecasting.

For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of integrating advanced security and AI capabilities into their service offerings. As the landscape shifts towards cyber resilience and AI-driven solutions, providers must adapt by leveraging these tools to enhance their operational efficiency and client services. The focus on measurable outcomes, such as trust and risk management, will be crucial for maintaining competitive advantage in an increasingly automated environment.
