โ€œDatto has always focused on enabling its MSP partners to secure the digital assets โ€“ both applications and data โ€“ of their Small and Medium Business (SMB) clients. The addition of the Infocyte team and technologies augments our capabilities within the critical Protect, Detect, and Respond stages outlined in theย NIST organizational security framework,โ€ said Tim Weller, CEO of Datto. โ€œInfocyteโ€™s offerings are complementary to Datto RMM Ransomware Detection and SaaS Defense application security products in those same NIST stages.โ€

Weller continued, โ€œIn 2022, we will continue to leverage the power of our Datto RMM platform by fully integrating Infocyteโ€™s patented technology, further securing endpoints and fortifying this key first line of defense for MSPs. Today, we welcome the Infocyte team, who will join us in developing our rapidly expanding set of MSP-delivered security offerings. MSPs are squarely in the security business, so Datto continues to make security a top investment focus.โ€

โ€œWe look forward to joining Datto and to further securing the SMBs and other clients served by its vast network of MSPs around the world,โ€ said Curtis Hutcheson, CEO of Infocyte. โ€œSecuring endpoints from advanced threats continues to be a top challenge for SMBs. With Dattoโ€™s partner community and growing security portfolio, we will be able to dramatically expand our reach to millions of endpoints under management, enabling Dattoโ€™s partners to provide their SMB customers with leading detection and response technologies.โ€œ
