MSPs face increasing pressure to provide advanced cybersecurity while managing more complex and dispersed IT environments. To meet these challenges, SentinelOne needed a way to smoothly integrate into MSPs' daily workflows without adding extra operational burden. Partnering with ConnectWise offered that solution. 

Through ConnectWise Invent and SentinelOne’s Asio certified integrator status and participation in the program, SentinelOne embedded its autonomous cybersecurity solutions directly on the ConnectWise Asio™ platform—an extensible, cloud-native architecture built for scalability, speed, and simplicity.

Asio, a first-of-its-kind platform, enables solution partners like SentinelOne to build deep, native integrations that are scalable and future-proof. The architecture also offers real-time threat visibility, automated response workflows, and centralized management—all accessible from a single interface. The platform’s flexibility also ensures that as SentinelOne continues to innovate—especially in AI-driven threat detection and response—these capabilities can be quickly deployed and used by MSPs without disrupting existing operations.

Operationalizing Cybersecurity at Scale: A Strategic Alliance for MSP Growth

Jay Ryerse, Senior Director at SentinelOne, emphasized how this strategic partnership has become a cornerstone of the company’s growth strategy. “Cybersecurity is already a challenge. Operationalizing it—figuring out who does the work, how to sell it, and how to support it—is where SentinelOne has really stepped in to lead,” he said. 

By leveraging the power of the ConnectWise Asio® platform and the broader IT Nation community, SentinelOne empowers MSPs with cutting-edge protection, operational efficiency, and the confidence to scale securely.

Certified to Scale: How SentinelOne’s ConnectWise Asio® Integration Drives Real Results

SentinelOne joined the ConnectWise Invent program and achieved Certified Integrator status, enabling deep, reliable integration with the Asio® platform. This allows MSPs to manage cybersecurity from a single pane of glass, with real-time threat alerts, automated ticketing, and seamless endpoint visibility.

“Being a Certified Integrator isn’t just a badge—it’s a commitment to building with and for the MSP community,” Ryerse explained. “It gives partners confidence that our solutions are tested, supported, and built to scale.”

Ryerse emphasized that any vendor serious about scaling in the MSP space must invest in certification, both in time and cost. “If you didn’t have an integration, I wasn’t talking to you when I was an MSP. My team didn’t have time to manage another tool in another silo. Certification makes adoption easier, and that’s why SentinelOne has become a fan favorite.”

He encouraged other vendors to fully embrace the ConnectWise ecosystem: “If you’re serious about the MSP market, get certified, show up at IT Nation, and build with ConnectWise. It’s the best decision we’ve made for our channel strategy.”

Efficiency in Action: What 75% Fewer False Alarms Really Means

Faster incident response times through automated workflows and integrated threat intelligence. Increased MSP adoption due to simplified onboarding and trusted certification.

“Reducing false positives by 75% means MSPs can focus on real threats, not noise. That’s a game-changer for operational efficiency,” Ryerse emphasized.

Platform Alignment and Future Vision

SentinelOne’s growth strategy is tightly aligned with ConnectWise’s platform vision. Both companies are focused on consolidating tools and services into unified platforms to reduce complexity and improve scalability. 

“We’ve rolled everything into our singularity platform, just like ConnectWise is doing with [ConnectWise] Asio. Because the most expensive part of running a managed services business is the people—not the tools,” Ryerse said. “Platforms help partners onboard, offboard, support, and scale more efficiently.”

Community Engagement: The IT Nation 

SentinelOne’s commitment to the MSP community is deeply rooted in its active participation in the IT Nation ecosystem—"particularly IT Nation events because they are the heart and should of the MSP community,” Ryerse shared.

For SentinelOne, the event is more than a conference—it’s a strategic forum to engage with partners, gather feedback, and align on the future of cybersecurity. The company uses the event to showcase new capabilities, co-create solutions with the community, and stay ahead of emerging threats.

“Cybersecurity is a team sport—it takes all of us,” Ryerse emphasized. “IT Nation is where that collaboration happens.”
