SolarWinds Orion security warning: no impact to RMM customers

 

Several US Government organisations were recent hacking targets via a product called SolarWinds Orion. It’s an on-premise solution used by large enterprise organisations. While SolarWinds MSP shares the brand name with Orion, we’d like to reassure you that SolarWinds MSP does not use any of the components of Orion. No action is required, as we are not aware of any impact to your RMM customers. Please contact swmsp@sofsol.co.nz, should you have any concerns.

How to access integrated EDR, in RMM

 

You may have heard the term “endpoint detection and response” (EDR) crop up over the past few years. These solutions were created, to better adapt to the evolution occurring across the threat landscape. Everything modern AV does, EDR takes a step further – providing greater security and (more importantly) peace of mind.

 

To make control seamless, SolarWinds’ EDR is now fully integrated into RMM’s dashboard. Simply go into the integrations tab in RMM’s portal, to start your free 30-day trial. This video explains how to set up and use EDR. (If you’d like to know more about EDR’s benefits, ). For any queries, contact us via swmsp@sofsol.co.nz.
