RoboShadow has joined the Pax8 Marketplace, giving managed service providers access to its platform through Pax8’s distribution network.
The agreement puts RoboShadow’s security platform in front of Pax8’s network of more than 47,000 IT partners worldwide. Pax8 says its marketplace also reaches more than 800,000 small and medium-sized business customers through that partner base.
Based in London, RoboShadow sells tools for vulnerability assessment, Microsoft 365 security visibility, automated remediation, and compliance reporting. The marketplace listing is intended to simplify procurement, billing, and provisioning for managed service providers, or MSPs, that want to add those services to their portfolios.
The partnership comes as service providers face a growing volume of vulnerability alerts and compliance work. RoboShadow says more than 48,000 common vulnerabilities and exposures, or CVEs, were published last year, while many MSPs still rely on manual processes to review risks and prepare customer reports.
Operational pressure
That pressure has become a commercial issue as well as a technical one. Security teams supporting multiple client environments often have to balance incident prevention, patching, and reporting with limited staff, making automation central to efforts to protect margins.
RoboShadow says its platform is built for multi-tenant management, allowing MSPs to oversee several customer environments from one system. It also says automation can cut the time needed for triage and remediation by up to 80%, while evidence-based compliance reporting aligned with schemes such as Cyber Essentials can be reduced from days to hours.
The company traces its roots to the managed services sector rather than a traditional software development background. That experience shaped its focus on reducing manual workloads for providers that need to deliver repeatable security services across broad customer bases.
“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,” said Terry Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of RoboShadow.
“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,” Lewis said.
Marketplace reach
For Pax8, adding RoboShadow expands the range of security products available through a marketplace that has become an important route to market for vendors targeting MSPs. The company has built its business around giving service providers a single place to source, deploy, and manage cloud and software products for smaller business customers.
The listing reflects Pax8’s view of how the managed security market is developing, with providers looking for fewer standalone tools and more systems that fit existing operational workflows. In turn, security software vendors are increasingly seeking distribution channels that already handle partner onboarding, billing, and account management.
Oguo Atuanya, Corporate Vice President of Vendor Experience at Pax8, said the partnership is aimed at MSPs that need to improve security outcomes without adding complexity to day-to-day operations.
“MSPs are under pressure to deliver stronger security outcomes while keeping operations efficient and scalable,” said Oguo Atuanya, Corporate Vice President of Vendor Experience at Pax8.
“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,” Atuanya said.
RoboShadow says the listing should help it reach a broader MSP audience at a time when compliance obligations and vulnerability management workloads are rising. The company previously went through the National Cyber Security Centre for Startups programme and has positioned its software around helping service providers identify and fix security risks across customer estates while reducing the reporting burden that often comes with managed security contracts.
The agreement also highlights the role marketplaces now play in the cybersecurity software market, particularly for suppliers trying to reach fragmented MSP channels. Rather than building direct sales relationships with thousands of service providers, vendors can use marketplaces to place products into ecosystems where partners already buy and manage customer technology stacks.
RoboShadow’s addition gives Pax8 partners another option for handling vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 oversight, and compliance reporting through a single service framework.
