Cyberthreats are becoming more sophisticated and prevalent every day, leaving SMEs and SMBs facing unprecedented risks, higher regulatory demands, and more stringent cyber insurance. They need more robust solutions to safeguard their systems and networks. But many businesses are struggling to get the level of cybersecurity and compliance they need without hiring a full-time CISO.
That’s where the partnership between Pax8 and Cynomi comes in. By adding Cynomi’s vCISO capabilities to the Pax8 marketplace, MSPs get the tools they need to offer enterprise-level security—without the complexity or cost. MSPs can now expand their services and offer their clients protection through high-level AI-driven cybersecurity management, growing their business and revenue in the process.

What are the Benefits of This Partnership for MSPs?
The partnership between Cynomi and Pax8 allows MSPs to easily access Cynomi’s vCISO platform through the Pax8 Marketplace. Through this partnership, MSPs can benefit from:
CISO-Level Cybersecurity Expertise
Cynomi empowers MSPs to offer CISO-level cybersecurity and compliance services to their clients, regardless of the MSP’s size or current cybersecurity infrastructure and knowledge. The AI-driven platform, which is based on global CISO knowledge, allows MSPs to automate and streamline cybersecurity management in a standardized and structured manner. Example capabilities include risk assessment, compliance readiness and cyber posture evaluation. This is just one more step in making Cynomi’s vision of ‘enabling every company to achieve CISO-level security’ a reality.
Facilitating Business Growth and Revenue Expansion for MSPs
This partnership also opens up new revenue streams for MSPs. SMEs and SMBs are increasingly facing cybersecurity challenges due to threats, regulatory demands and cyber insurance requirements. Yet, such services were traditionally only accessible to larger enterprises. Now, MSPs can easily leverage Cynomi’s advanced features to offer smaller organizations enterprise-grade security and compliance services.
As a result, more MSPs can expand into new areas of cybersecurity and attract new customers, without having to invest significant resources. In addition, Cynomi provides insights and capabilities that help MSPs quickly identify and act on upselling sales opportunities. MSPs that choose to do so will gain a competitive edge and grow their business.
Addressing the Cybersecurity Skill Gap with Automated Solutions
The partnership also addresses the cybersecurity skill gap, a significant challenge faced by many MSPs. The demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals far exceeds the supply, impeding many MSPs from offering vCISO and security services.
Cynomi’s platform draws on AI, automation and built-in knowledge to overcome these hurdles and simplify complex cybersecurity processes. The platform automates and standardizes cybersecurity and compliance management responsibilities, turning them into manageable tasks. These include risk assessment, compliance readiness, cyber posture, policy creation, and remediation.
As a result, MSPs can easily offer a wide range of services and effectively serve their clients without hiring in-house cybersecurity experts and growing their headcount. Standardization also allows easily onboarding employees to provide security services, regardless of their previous experience.
What is the Significance of This Partnership?
The partnership between Cynomi and Pax8 represents a significant evolution in the cybersecurity landscape, allowing MSPs to meet the growing cybersecurity needs of their clients. By integrating Cynomi’s vCISO platform into the Pax8 Marketplace, the partnership democratizes access to professional cybersecurity expertise. Even small and mid-sized MSPs, and by extension, their clients, can access sophisticated cybersecurity services, making enterprise-grade security accessible to all.
Looking ahead, adding vCISO services to their portfolio enables 35,000 MSPs to future-proof their service offerings. vCISO services ensure they remain relevant and competitive in an increasingly security-conscious market. Cynomi enables MSPs to operate more efficiently and focus on strategic growth areas, ensuring they can deliver consistent, high-quality cybersecurity services to their clients.
