In the fast-paced world of technology startups, securing the right funding can be the difference between success and obscurity.

By offering in-depth reporting on policy changes and providing customizable security baselines that adhere to international standards, inforcer ensures that MSPs can effectively meet the evolving demands of their clients. As Jamie Daum, CEO of inforcer, noted, the company is not merely facilitating operational improvements for MSPs but is also paving the way for what he describes as “Managed Microsoft Security Service Providers—MSP 2.0.” With this investment, inforcer is on track to redefine how MSPs leverage Microsoft's security capabilities, ensuring that they remain competitive in an increasingly challenging environment.
