RoboShadow has joined the Pax8 Marketplace, giving managed service providers access to its platform through Pax8's cloud marketplace.
The agreement brings RoboShadow's vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 security visibility, automated remediation and compliance reporting tools to Pax8's partner base. More than 47,000 IT partners and 800,000 small and medium-sized business customers use the marketplace, according to Pax8.
The companies are targeting MSPs at a time when cyber teams are managing a growing volume of vulnerability data and compliance work. RoboShadow cited research showing that 48,000 CVEs were published last year, adding to the workload for providers still relying on manual processes.
For MSPs, that pressure often appears in routine tasks such as triage, remediation and reporting. Compliance reporting can take days for each customer, RoboShadow said, while many providers support large numbers of endpoints with limited staff.
Listing on Pax8 is intended to simplify procurement, billing and provisioning for MSPs that want to add RoboShadow to their security stack. It also gives the company broader reach in a channel market where distributors and marketplaces increasingly shape how software vendors sell to smaller providers.
RoboShadow said its platform uses a multi-tenant model, allowing MSPs to manage multiple customer environments from one system. It added that users can prioritise vulnerabilities and automate remediation with AI, reducing triage and remediation time by up to 80%.
The company also said its reporting aligns with frameworks including Cyber Essentials, reducing preparation time from days to hours. Those claims reflect a broader push across the cyber security market to automate labour-intensive work as service providers seek to protect margins.
Terry Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of RoboShadow, linked the product's design to the experience of running services businesses.
"RoboShadow was born inside an MSP, built by people who've lived the pain, the pressure, and the chaos of trying to keep customers secure while running a profitable business," Lewis said. "For years, the industry has made cyber security feel scary, complicated, and expensive and now everyone's talking about big AI models like Mythos as if they're going to magically fix everything overnight. MSPs don't need hype, they need automation that works today. That's exactly why RoboShadow exists. AI can remove up to 80% of the manual grind MSPs deal with daily so we built it into the core of the platform. We use AI in the most practical way possible: to kill manual effort, boost margins, and make security services something MSPs can actually deliver at scale without burning out their teams."
Marketplace reach
Pax8 has been expanding its role as a route to market for vendors selling cloud and security products to MSPs. Its model centres on a marketplace where partners can discover, buy, deploy and manage software for business customers, rather than negotiate separate direct supplier relationships for each product.
That matters for smaller and mid-sized service providers, which often have limited time and technical staff to assess, integrate and support a growing list of cyber tools. Marketplace distribution can also help vendors shorten sales cycles by plugging into existing reseller relationships.
RoboShadow said the fit with Pax8 rests on a shared view that service providers need to modernise security operations without adding further operational complexity. It also pointed to Pax8's work to help MSPs evolve their services and improve profitability.
For Pax8, adding RoboShadow expands the cyber security options available to partners at a time when vulnerability management and compliance are becoming more central to managed offerings. Security tools that can be delivered across many customers from one console are especially relevant in the MSP market, where efficiency is closely tied to commercial viability.
Oguo Atuanya, Corporate Vice President of vendor experience at Pax8, said the company sees the new listing as part of that trend.
"MSPs are under pressure to deliver stronger security outcomes while keeping operations efficient and scalable," Atuanya said. "RoboShadow brings an automation-first approach that directly supports that mission. Their platform aligns with how Pax8 sees the future of managed security: simplified, insight-driven, and built to help partners grow profitably. We're excited to welcome RoboShadow to the Pax8 Marketplace and to provide our partners with another powerful tool that helps them reduce complexity and deliver higher‐value security services."
