Guardz reports AI-driven growth and strategic partnerships in 2025

Guardz reports significant growth in 2025, expanding partnerships and introducing new AI-native cybersecurity capabilities.

In 2025, Guardz reported substantial developments in its cybersecurity offerings for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT professionals, providing unified cyber protection for small businesses. The company recorded 300% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue, reflecting increased demand for its AI-native detection and response platform.

With a workforce exceeding 100 employees, Guardz’s operations and global expansion were supported by a $56 million USD investment secured earlier in the year, providing resources to further develop its platform and services for the MSP community.

During the year, Guardz expanded its strategic partnerships, including agreements with Check Point and SentinelOne, which enhanced the platform’s capacity to address ransomware, business email compromise, and other advanced threats. A partnership with Pax8 extended the company’s reach among MSPs.

Product updates in 2025 included the introduction of the Ultimate Plan, designed to streamline security operations for MSPs, and the launch of Identity Threat Detection and Response capabilities to address identity-based attacks. The Guardz Research Unit (GRU) was also established, providing monitoring of dark web activity, unpatched vulnerabilities, and ransomware-as-a-service threats.

Guardz’s solutions are now used by thousands of MSPs to protect tens of thousands of small businesses worldwide. The company received several industry recognitions, including the Global Infosec Awards, MSP Today Product of the Year Award, and Top InfoSec Innovator Award, as well as finalist placements in the SC Awards Europe and CRN Tech Innovator Awards.

Looking forward, Guardz plans to continue developing its cybersecurity platform, expand its global presence, and participate in upcoming industry events such as the MSP Expo and Right of Boom conferences.
