Security isn’t about finding the perfect tool. It’s about building layers that work together.
As AI continues to evolve, cybercriminals are already using it to power ransomware attacks, compromise credentials and impersonate brands. These threats create entry points before threats even reach your clients’ networks, which means that MSPs need more than endpoint protection or basic backup; they need comprehensive coverage across every stage of the threat lifecycle.
That’s why we’re expanding our security and continuity portfolio with three new solutions: Afi, NordStellar and Trend Vision One. Together, they give you the tools to build a complete defense that includes reliable data recovery, proactive external monitoring and real-time threat detection. These solutions are available now in the Sherweb marketplace, backed by the hands-on support you expect from us.
Here’s why these MSP security solutions matter, and why they’re key parts of a complete security stack.
Staying ahead of the modern threat lifecycle
Building a strong security posture has never been more complex. Cyberattacks are increasing in both frequency and sophistication. They also disproportionally affect small organizations: according to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 88% of breaches reported by SMBs were related to ransomware.
At the same time, MSPs are juggling multiple security tools that don’t always work together. The result? Security gaps, operational complexity and clients who are vulnerable despite your best efforts. What MSPs need is a layered approach to security that addresses threats at every stage: before they reach the perimeter, while they’re active in the environment and after an incident occurs.
Three MSP security solutions, one comprehensive defense
Each of these new solutions addresses a critical layer of your security stack. Together, they create the kind of comprehensive protection your clients expect and the operational efficiency you need to scale.
Afi: AI-powered backup and recovery
Afi is an AI-powered, cloud-native backup solution for SaaS applications like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure and Kubernetes. It protects your clients’ most critical data without requiring additional infrastructure.
Key features:
- Automated backups performed multiple times per day across platforms
- Granular restore capabilities (individual emails, files or calendar events)
- AI engine that monitors backups in real time to prevent data loss
- Compliance and audit tools to support client compliance in regulated industries
Even with strong perimeter defenses, you need a recovery plan. Ransomware, accidental deletions and insider threats can still compromise client data. Afi gives you the ability to restore quickly and confidently, keeping downtime minimal and client trust intact. It’s your last line of defense, and one of the most important.
NordStellar: External threat monitoring
NordStellar is a threat exposure management platform that monitors the dark web, cybercrime communities and public-facing assets in real time. It surfaces actionable intelligence about threats before they reach your clients’ networks.
Key features:
- Real-time dark web and underground forum monitoring
- Compromised credential detection and alerts
- Brand exposure and domain squatting identification
- Actionable threat intelligence with recommended next steps
Most security tools focus on what’s happening inside the network. NordStellar flips that by giving you visibility into what’s happening outside: stolen credentials, leaked data and brand impersonation attempts. This early warning system helps you catch threats before attackers can exploit them, positioning you as a proactive security partner rather than a reactive one.
Trend Vision One: Unified detection and response
Trend Vision One is a unified cybersecurity platform that centralizes cyber risk exposure management, security operations and robust layered protection. Powered by AI, it provides continuous visibility and automated risk prioritization across your clients’ entire environments.
Key features:
- Centralized cyber risk exposure management and attack surface risk management
- Continuous visibility across endpoints, cloud, email, network and identity
- AI-powered threat detection and automated risk prioritization
- Reduces tool sprawl by consolidating security operations
Managing multiple security tools is time-consuming and creates blind spots. Vision One brings everything together in one platform, giving you unified threat management with AI-powered insights that help you respond faster and operate more efficiently. It’s the middle layer of your defense, detecting and responding to active threats in real time before they can cause damage.
Why this matters: stronger together
These three MSP security solutions weren’t chosen randomly. They represent a layered defense system, with each solution addressing a critical stage of the threat lifecycle.
NordStellar monitors the dark web and gives you early warning about compromised credentials, data leaks and brand exposure to catch problems before they reach your clients’ networks.
Trend Vision One detects and responds to active threats in real time, providing unified visibility and automated risk prioritization across endpoints, cloud, email and network.
Afi protects and recovers critical data when something gets through, ensuring you can restore quickly and minimize downtime.
Together, they give you:
- Comprehensive coverage: Address every stage of the threat lifecycle, from external monitoring to active detection to data recovery.
- Operational efficiency: Reduce tool sprawl and simplify vendor management by sourcing these complementary solutions from a single partner.
- Competitive advantage: Differentiate your MSP with a complete security offering that goes beyond basic endpoint protection.
- Revenue opportunity: Expand your service portfolio and increase margins by offering layered security that clients actually need.
And as always, you’re not managing this alone. Sherweb provides the training, technical support and account management you need to bring these solutions to market confidently.
Aligning your MSP with modern security demands
This portfolio expansion is about responding to real market demand from our partners. According to Gartner, spending on XDR solutions is expected to grow significantly as organizations look to consolidate their security operations. Meanwhile, the rise in ransomware attacks has made SaaS backup a critical requirement, not just a nice-to-have. And as attackers increasingly target external vulnerabilities like stolen credentials and misconfigured cloud assets, solutions like NordStellar are becoming table stakes for proactive security.
MSPs that can offer a comprehensive security stack to their clients will be better positioned to win and retain clients in an increasingly competitive market.
