Explore the latest Guardz updates, fresh product enhancements, & more.
What’s New in the Platform
We’re excited to bring you new feature updates and improvements to our existing product.
ITDR (Coming Soon)
Beta is ongoing, and general availability is planned for mid-June. Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) allows for the discovery of identity threats through behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, and continuous monitoring by automating actions such as suspending accounts.
Those on the Ultimate Plan will benefit from the 24/7 MDR analysis of these detections.
Transparent MFA Detection
We’ve enhanced our MFA detection engine to provide better visibility into misconfigurations. Each alert now includes a clear reason for why it was flagged, making it easier for MSPs to troubleshoot and act.
What’s new:
1. Every MFA detection now shows the specific reason it was triggered
2. Helps MSPs quickly pinpoint and resolve configuration issues
3. Reduces alert confusion and shortens time to remediation
This update brings clarity to MFA enforcement and gives MSPs greater control over identity security at scale.
Compliance Mapping
If you didn’t spot the in-product announcement or stumble on it yourself, we’re pleased to announce that Compliance Mapping is live.
You can find the icon at the top right of the platform and see how easy it is to extract CSV reports mapped to some of the most common compliance and regulation frameworks.
External Scan Just Got Smarter and Faster
We’ve upgraded the Guardz External Scan engine to improve response times and expand vulnerability coverage. These updates help MSPs validate remediations sooner and identify more external risks across client environments.
What’s improved:
- Follow-up scans now trigger approximately 1 hour after remediation instead of 12
- Unresolved issues reopen after 1 day rather than 4
- New vulnerability checks added for HTTP-based technologies such as Apache, Microsoft IIS, and PHP
Faster scans mean quicker confirmation that issues are fixed, so you can close tickets and reduce open risk sooner. The expanded checks give you deeper visibility into client infrastructure, allowing for more accurate and comprehensive external security assessments.

Legacy Auth is the backdoor that attackers are counting on
Between March 18 and April 7, Guardz Research, led by Elli Shlomo (SR), Head of Security Research at Guardz, tracked a global campaign that abused BAV2ROPC in Microsoft Entra ID, bypassed MFA, dodged Conditional Access, and flew under the radar.
- 90% + of attacks hit Exchange Online
- 10K + brute-force attempts on admin accounts
- Origins: Eastern Europe & APAC
If you’re still allowing legacy authentication, you’re a sitting target.
🚀 Where to Find Guardz This June
We’re excited to join MSPs and security leaders at IT Nation Secure to talk about what’s next for SMB protection. Meet Dor Eisner, Royi Barnea, Sasha Milan, and William Barr and see how Guardz is making security simpler, smarter, and built for the real world.
We’re bringing the energy to Pax8 Beyond. Join us in Aurora to explore how Guardz helps MSPs drive impact with a unified approach to cybersecurity, minus the complexity. We’re ready to connect, learn, and build stronger partnerships.
Royi Barnea and Jonathan Boulos will be in Chicago for ASCII Edge, joining forces with MSPs focused on growth, community, and practical security solutions. Come chat with us about what you’re seeing in the field, and how Guardz can help you stay ahead of it.
We’re looking forward to connecting with the MSP community.
