From Vision to Reality: IRONSCALES + Malwarebytes Elevate MSP Security

When we first teamed up with Malwarebytes, the goal was ambitious but straightforward: give Managed Service Providers (MSPs) a single, streamlined way to deliver true defense in depth for their customers. That meant uniting industry-leading endpoint protection with adaptive, inbox-level email security so threats could be stopped earlier, remediated faster, and managed without adding complexity.

Today, that vision is live on the Malwarebytes OneView platform, with ThreatDown Email Security powered by IRONSCALES now fully integrated and ready for MSPs to deploy on a multi-tenant basis to their customers.

The Partnership in Motion

The journey started with a shared recognition: attackers do not care about your security silos. They are just looking for the weakest link, whether that is a phishing email that slips through or a malicious payload that lands on an endpoint.

• Phase 1: Combine forces. Malwarebytes’ proven endpoint protection already shields MSP customers from malware, ransomware, and post-compromise activity. IRONSCALES brings AI and human-powered detection directly into the inbox to catch phishing, BEC, and advanced social engineering attempts before they become an endpoint problem.
• Phase 2: Build it for MSPs. The integration had to be multi-tenant, API-based, and ready for click-to-activate deployment with no MX record changes, no separate consoles, and no weeks-long onboarding.
• Phase 3: Deliver more than just technology. Together, we are giving MSPs a platform that not only prevents compromise but also educates end users with built-in security awareness training and phishing simulations, reducing risk over time.

Joint Partner Value Drivers

For MSP partners, this integration is not just a new product listing. It is a business and security enabler:

1. Centralized Security Management
   Manage endpoint and email security from the same OneView dashboard, eliminating the swivel-chair problem and making incident response far faster.
2. Defense in Depth by Default
   Stop attacks at multiple layers:
   • Email Layer: Adaptive AI and human insights to block never-before-seen phishing and BEC attempts.
   • Endpoint Layer: Malwarebytes’ multi-vector protection to detect and remediate malicious payloads and suspicious activity.
3. Automation with Control
   IRONSCALES auto-clusters and remediates polymorphic threats across tenants while still giving MSPs the ability to adjust automation thresholds and maintain oversight.
4. Frictionless Deployment
   API integration means MSPs can protect a new customer’s email environment in minutes with no mail flow disruption and no lengthy reconfiguration.
5. Revenue and Retention Upside
   Expanding the security stack in OneView gives MSPs more services to offer without adding operational overhead, creating stickier relationships with clients.

Why This Matters for Defense in Depth

For many MSPs, defense in depth is more theory than practice, with multiple tools that do not talk to each other, leaving gaps attackers can exploit. This integration closes two of the most targeted vectors, email and endpoint, within a single, unified platform.

Here is how it plays out in the real world:

• If an attack starts at the inbox: IRONSCALES flags and quarantines the phishing attempt across all mailboxes before a user can click. If somehow a link is clicked or a payload is downloaded, Malwarebytes steps in to detect and remediate it at the endpoint.
• If an attack starts at the endpoint: Malwarebytes blocks execution and shares telemetry that can inform email threat hunting, ensuring related campaigns are identified and neutralized.

This layered, coordinated response shrinks dwell time, reduces incident costs, and builds resilience against evolving tactics, including AI-generated phishing lures and multi-stage ransomware attacks.

Built for MSPs, Ready for End Users

The partnership also recognizes that MSP success hinges on balancing security outcomes with operational efficiency. That is why this solution is:

• Multi-tenant and usage-based for easy client onboarding and predictable billing.
• User-empowering, with the report phishing button, contextual warning banners, and tailored training content.
• Continuously improving, thanks to AI models retrained with real-world threat intelligence from over 17,000 global IT teams.

Bottom Line

The IRONSCALES and Malwarebytes integration in the ThreatDown platform provides truly holistic protection. It is a practical way for MSPs to turn the promise of defense in depth into an everyday reality for their customers.

The gap between email compromise and endpoint breach is shrinking. We are recording some of the fastest lateral movement times on record. This combined solution closes that gap, giving partners coordinated protection, faster detection, and less operational drag.

If your current stack leaves room for attackers to pivot from the inbox to the endpoint, now is the time to rethink your strategy. Deploying IRONSCALES and Malwarebytes together on OneView upgrades your security posture today and positions you to take on tomorrow’s threats with confidence.
