Managed AI Security for MSPs: Build a New Recurring Service Line

Your clients are adopting AI agents faster than anyone is securing them. That gap is a risk for them — and a new recurring revenue line for you. Crawdad is the managed AI-security service you deliver.

Crawdad Fleet Console — manage AI agent security across your client base

Fleet Console — centralized management across your client base

AI agents run with real power inside your clients' environments. Nothing in their stack sees them.

The agent layer is a new attack surface. The MSP who brings the answer first wins the relationship.

A surface nobody covers

AI agents act with real authority — your client's credentials, files, network. When an agent reads a poisoned document, it follows hidden instructions silently. EDR, DLP, firewalls, and identity tools don't see agent-layer behavior. This is a net-new attack surface.

Your clients are already deploying

AI agents are moving from pilot to production across every industry. Regulated clients are asking who secures them. The security buyer is looking for answers — the MSP who arrives first with a real one defines the category.

You own the security relationship

Your clients already trust you with their endpoints, their networks, their identity. Agent security is a natural extension — and a new recurring service line layered on top of the relationship you've already built.

Fleet Console — per-client tenancy, centralized policy management
Crawdad Dashboard — real-time detection trends, agent activity

Fleet-scale agent security. Every client. One console.

Deploy Crawdad across your client base with one command per endpoint. The Fleet Console gives you centralized visibility — per-client tenancy, policy management, detection trends — while raw content stays on each client's machine.

  • Per-client tenancy and isolation
  • Centralized policy and detection monitoring
  • One-command deployment per endpoint
  • Local-first — raw client content never leaves their machines by default
  • Each client gets their own dashboard

One deployment. Every request inspected.

Your client's machine — raw content stays local

Channel-friendly. Built for recurring revenue.

Crawdad fits the MSP delivery model. Deploy it, manage it, bill for it.

A new recurring service line

Crawdad is a managed service, not a one-time sale. Layer it into your existing security practice alongside EDR, DLP, and identity. One more line of recurring revenue on top of the relationships you already have.

Additive, not competitive

Crawdad doesn't replace anything in your current stack. It covers the agent layer that EDR, DLP, identity, and firewalls don't see. Additive to your existing offering — no displacement, no rip-and-replace conversations.

First-mover advantage

The AI agent security category is nascent. The MSPs who bring a real answer to their clients now set the standard for how this layer gets covered. First movers define the category — everyone else follows.

The MSPs who secure AI agents first define the category.
