📢 New blog alert! "From MSP to MIP: The Agentic Shift With Pax8" Following on from our last post, we've put together a written breakdown on our blog for anyone who would prefer to read through or revisit any points in detail on our conversation with Mostyn Thomas from Pax8 😊 🔗 You can read the full blog here: eu1.hubs.ly/H0tNMN90 From masterclasses to special appearances such as Snoop Dogg, Mostyn tells us why Pax8 is such a success within the MSP community, while also exploring how MSPs are navigating the AI shift. We talk about AI experimentation, packaging & pricing, where governance is beginning to play a bigger role, and more... We've included some very useful links in there for you too! 💭 We're very interested in hearing your thoughts on this whole topic! 🔗 Full video on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0tNNcS0 #RoboShadow #Pax8 #AI #MSP #ManagedIntelligenceProvider #CyberSecurity #Cloud #Microsoft #Claude #MIPplaybook #AgenticAI #TheAgenticShift

Our latest conversation between our CEO, Terry Lewis, and Mostyn Thomas from Pax8 captures some of the thinking that’s starting to shape how MSPs approach AI. The discussion centres around the shift towards the Managed Intelligence Provider model, and how that links back to the ideas in Pax8’s pioneering MIP Playbook, especially when it comes to packaging, delivering, and monetising new types of services. There's an undeniable gap between knowing where things are heading and having the time and space to adapt. But MSPs have historically dealt with major changes (such as the shift to Cloud), and in the midst of this next big shift, it's time for all of us to roll up our sleeves. 🔗 The full video is now up on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0tLY0b0 Keep an eye out as we've got a lot more coming very soon 🔥 #RoboShadow #Pax8 #AI #AgenticAI #MSP #MIPplaybook #MIP #ManagedIntelligenceProvider #IT #CyberSecurity #Cloud #Microsoft #Automation

🌟 Feature of the week: Configuration Benchmarking and Remediation RoboShadow’s Benchmark reports are designed to help you with security ‘hardening’, meaning it checks your systems configurations against established standards to ensure they’re set up correctly. The goal is to reduce the potential attack surface for cybercriminals and help you with compliance. By reviewing your systems against our Configuration Benchmarks, you can: 🔷View configuration pass/fail status across all devices 🔷Browse benchmarks organised by CIS section number 🔷Apply AI AutoFix to automatically remediate failed checks 🔷Track compliance progress over time ➡️ Universal Cyber Benchmarks Provides 17 Cyber Essentials benchmarks. Each benchmark checks Windows registry settings and system configurations against expected secure values. ➡️ Microsoft 365 CIS Benchmarks (Tenant based) Evaluates your cloud environment’s alignment with CIS Level 1 & 2 standards for Microsoft 365 services - recognised globally by auditors, compliance frameworks, and security professionals. Make sure to reach out if you have any questions or feedback! We love hearing from you 😉 #CyberSecurity #MSP #CyberEssentials #CISBenchmarks #Compliance #RiskManagement #VulnerabilityManagement #SecurityPosture #IT #RoboShadow #Microsoft365 #365 #CyberGovernance

It turns out... some of you still don’t know that we do compliance reporting 😲 With recent upgrades (more on that soon), now’s a good time for a quick reminder of how we support you: To get straight to the point, here’s where we help you in terms of compliance and reporting: ➡️ Compliance framework reporting exports (ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, HIPAA and more) ➡️ Vulnerability assessment reporting (now automated for faster audit evidence) ➡️ Security posture visibility for audit and compliance support, covering assets, encryption, MFA, configuration, AV and more. RoboShadow helps MSPs clearly demonstrate security posture, reduce audit stress, and meet regulatory requirements with less manual work. Essentially, we’ve simplified visibility and compliance for you.

Had a great day last week catching up with Mostyn on all things Pax8, Cyber Security, MIPs, the future of agentic AI, and much more. Thank you for coming in and livening up the office, and for the amazing company at Gaucho - the steaks were good but the conversations were even better! 🔥 We may have filmed some content in the studio 👀... which will be coming out soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

🌠 NEW BLOG Cyber governance gets brushed under the rug for a lot of MSPs and SMBs because it’s not seen as a priority, or it feels too complicated. We’re here to un-complicate it for you and tell you why it needs your attention. One of our more popular videos on YouTube covers the top essential strategies for cyber governance, and we’ve now put together a blog breaking down some of the misconceptions around this in more detail, with practical strategies to make your life easier. Every single organisation has some level of cyber risk, and there’s no shame in that. What’s important is that it’s understood and documented, and that the people making budget decisions are actually aware of it. Honestly, the starting point is far simpler than people expect. A clear risk register, even just a structured spreadsheet, can go a long way in making sure vulnerabilities, impact and remediation plans are visible and discussed at the right level. If it’s something you’re working through (and you should be!), give this a quick read and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, we're always happy to help. Link to the full blog and YouTube video here: eu1.hubs.ly/H0sNmW40 💡 Always interested to hear how others are approaching this / handling governance with clients too.

⏰ Patch Friday… oops, we mean Patch Tuesday (We know we're a little late) Microsoft’s March Patch Tuesday addressed 84 vulnerabilities, including 2 zero-days and 8 critical flaws. Privilege escalation vulnerabilities make up the biggest portion again this month, with a good number of remote code execution issues mixed in as well. Two that are worth flagging are CVE-2026-21262 (SQL Server privilege escalation) and CVE-2026-26127 (.NET denial of service), both of which were publicly disclosed before patches were released. The overall theme this month is the number of privilege escalation bugs across Windows components. These tend to show up once an attacker already has access to a system, so they’re well worth prioritising in the patch queue. This is also where having good visibility into your externally exposed systems makes life a lot easier when Patch Tuesday rolls around - which, of course, is exactly the sort of thing we built RoboShadow to help with. We’ve written up a quick breakdown of the key vulnerabilities and what’s worth focusing on this month. 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0sDF8P0

Our 2026 Predictions: Part 7 ⬇️ Bonus - Quantum Computing Arrives ⬇️ We’re feeling adventurous with our final prediction, but hear us out. Remember Google’s Willow Quantum Chip? Over the past year, Willow has moved from theoretical breakthrough to proof that the quantum roadmap works. We're predicting that timelines will compress, investments will accelerate, and long-term assumptions will be challenged, especially around encryption and security durability. Quantum computing won’t break encryption any time soon, and there’s nothing to act on as of yet, so consider this a call to awareness instead. "The second that you've got one person that's confirmed proof of concept, you're going to see that race really heat up." - Terry, CEO, RoboShadow The race begins this year 🏁 📹 Watch the full video: eu1.hubs.ly/H0s4BXs0 📃 Read the in-depth blog: eu1.hubs.ly/H0s4CG-0 - #RoboShadow #CyberSecurity #QuantumComputing #Google #WillowChip #GoogleWillow #MSP #MSPTrends #2026Predictions #TechTrends #IT #ITTools

📢 AWS says more than 600 FortiGate firewalls hit in AI-augmented campaign A hacker managed to compromise over 600 FortiGate devices across 55+ countries between January and mid-February 2026 - without exploiting a single vulnerability. According to AWS, the campaign relied on exposed management ports, weak or reused credentials, and single-factor authentication. Amazon assesses this as a financially motivated, lower-skilled operator who used multiple commercial generative AI services throughout the operation to: - Generate attack plans - Build reconnaissance scripts in Go and Python - Parse stolen FortiGate configuration files - Harvest credentials - Move laterally into internal networks A few important takeaways for anyone running perimeter devices or managing client environments: - Exposed management interfaces remain a serious risk - Credential hygiene and MFA enforcement are critical controls - Backup infrastructure continues to be a high-value target in pre-ransomware activity As we move further into 2026, we should expect more campaigns like this from both skilled and unskilled actors. This campaign reinforces something we’ve said for years: strong security fundamentals still do most of the heavy lifting. This is why we talk about continuous visibility rather than periodic checks. If you want visibility into exposed management interfaces, weak credential posture, and backup risk across your client base, take a look at RoboShadow or drop us a message at hello@roboshadow.com. 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0s2NR70 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0s2NtT0 #FortiGate #FortiGateBreach #Hacker #CyberSecurity #AI #AIHacking #MSP

Our 2026 Predictions: Part 6 ⬇️ Intune Continues to Disrupt RMM Market ⬇️ We’ve been keeping track of how a lot of everyday device management is increasingly present inside Microsoft licenses. With increased involvement around update rings, device compliance, and baseline security controls, Intune has really stepped up. Combine that with Microsoft Business Premium, and you have access to a pretty decent set of endpoint management and security capabilities, without per-device licensing. Now, we’re not saying that traditional RMM tools are obsolete by any means, but blanket coverage is becoming harder to justify. "What you're going to see a lot more in 2026, is that people may be decreasing their device amounts with their favourite RMM vendor" - Terry Lewis, CEO, RoboShadow 🗝️ The key here is that Intune and RMM tools serve different purposes. The main shift we’ll continue to see is in intentionality; in where and how they are used. With this Microsoft integration, the goal is to reduce or eliminate overlapping functionality, meaning that MSPs are able to reduce device counts in RMM platforms when some endpoint needs are already handled within the Microsoft stack. 📹 Watch the full video: eu1.hubs.ly/H0s0w3h0 📃 Read the in-depth blog: eu1.hubs.ly/H0s0w550 - #RoboShadow #CyberSecurity #Intune #RMM #MicrosoftIntune #MSP #MSPTrends #2026Predictions #TechTrends #IT #ITTools
