ConnectWise and SentinelOne Announce Shared Strategy to Advance Managed Cybersecurity for MSPs at Black Hat 2026

TAMPA, Fla. & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – August 4, 2026 – ConnectWise, the leading platform dedicated to the success of managed service providers (MSPs), and SentinelOne® (NYSE: S), the AI Security leader, today announced at Black Hat 2026 their shared strategy to advance managed cybersecurity for MSPs and the customers they protect.

Building on the companies’ established collaboration through ConnectWise Managed EDR with SentinelOne, the strategy creates a framework for deeper collaboration that brings together the AI-driven security capabilities of SentinelOne’s Singularity™ Platform with ConnectWise’s managed security expertise and the agentic operational workflow capabilities of the ConnectWise platform that MSPs use to serve their customers.

The companies share a belief that MSPs need security capabilities that are advanced enough to address rapidly evolving threats and practical enough to operate across diverse customer environments. Their joint vision is focused on helping MSPs deliver unique value in the AI era by securing AI usage and stopping AI-powered threats, through carefully governed autonomous threat detection, investigation and response that keeps expert human analysts in control.           

“MSPs are being asked to protect more customers, manage greater complexity and respond to threats that move faster than traditional operating models can support. ConnectWise and SentinelOne share a vision for helping MSPs meet that challenge. By aligning our strategies, we can bring forward meaningful capabilities in the right sequence, with clear and practical value for partners at each step. We believe this partnership strengthens ConnectWise’s position as the platform of choice for MSPs delivering Managed EDR services at scale today, and as we jointly create new security service capabilities in the coming quarters." 

— Manny Rivelo, CEO of ConnectWise

The shared strategy is grounded in several principles:

  • Build on the established foundation of ConnectWise Managed EDR with SentinelOne
  • Make security intelligence easier to operationalize across MSP environments
  • Use AI and automation to support faster, more consistent action
  • Maintain appropriate human oversight and operational control
  • Preserve partner choice through open technologies and ecosystem collaboration
  • Introduce new capabilities through clear, partner-ready milestones

SentinelOne's Singularity Platform delivers AI-driven prevention, detection, investigation, and response through one agent, everywhere AI now runs. ConnectWise brings deep expertise in MSP operations, managed security services, service orchestration and the workflows partners use to support their customers. The companies are working to bring these complementary strengths together to create a more connected experience for mutual partners.

“MSPs are critical to expanding access to advanced cybersecurity, particularly for organizations that cannot build extensive security operations of their own. Our work with ConnectWise reflects a shared commitment to helping MSPs use advanced security technology effectively and at scale. We look forward to continuing that work in the coming quarters in ways that help our mutual partners and their customers confidently and securely embrace their AI advantage.” 

— Michael Cremen, President and Chief Revenue Officer of SentinelOne

The strategy builds on the value already delivered through ConnectWise Managed EDR, which combines SentinelOne technology with continuous monitoring and support from the ConnectWise Security Operations Center. The service helps MSPs extend protection across customer environments without requiring them to independently build, staff and operate a SOC.   

The collaboration also reflects both companies’ commitment to open ecosystems. ConnectWise will continue to support partner choice across its platform, while SentinelOne will continue investing across its broad network of technology, service and channel partners. The shared strategy is specifically focused on improving the experience available to mutual ConnectWise and SentinelOne partners.
