Sherweb partners with DefensX to help MSPs block web threats, secure remote browsing, and protect over 100,000 businesses from browser-based cyberattacks.
Sherweb, the cloud marketplace and services company that gives MSPs everything they need to run and scale their offerings, is introducing DefensX to block scammers from infecting devices via users’ browsers. Sherweb’s 7,500+ Managed Service Provider (MSP) partners can now access DefensX to secure users’ browsers across the more than 100,000 companies they serve. As part of Sherweb’s growing cybersecurity offering, DefensX helps MSPs identify and block access to malicious domains before they’re opened on their personal and company devices.
Cyber threats are always evolving, but 80% of breaches still involve the place where users spend most of their time— their browsers. This entry point has become even more attractive to scammers as remote work has risen in popularity and made the use of personal devices for professional tasks mainstream. The resulting decentralized networks make it increasingly difficult for companies to monitor and isolate web threats, putting their MSPs under pressure to ensure safe work from anywhere in the world, on any device.

To address this concern, Sherweb is expanding its security offerings even further. Together with DefensX, it will introduce MSPs to features that will enhance security for remote and hybrid workers so that they can browse and access web versions of workplace applications without exposing themselves and their companies to vulnerabilities. These features include:
- Filtering that prevents users from accidentally visiting harmful websites. Blocking malicious domains is easy for centralized networks but much trickier with today’s mix of personal and work devices. With DefensX, MSPs can now help businesses protect remote workers by restricting access to harmful sites– preventing cyberthreats before they start.
- Safer browsing in the cloud. DefensX runs the web browser in the cloud, protecting Sherweb’s MSP partners and their clients against malware and phishing by keeping threats contained and away from users’ devices.
- Zero-Trust security that verifies every user and device. DefensX enforces strict file and credential verification with their zero-trust security framework. No user or device is trusted by default, ensuring that threats are isolated on all devices like desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets. Secure access to company resources from personal devices. With unmanaged device access, MSPs can offer their clients’ employees the flexibility to work from anywhere–and access any company files when they do–without compromising security or corporate data.
- Automated activity reports to manage risk. Automated AI-generated reports on browser usage behaviors flag potential risks. Not only will this enable MSPs to help their clients foster safe online habits, it will also offer insights into each client’s cybersecurity maturity level.
“The browser is a critical access point for business applications, yet it remains one of the most overlooked security gaps,” said Benji Germain, Vice President of Product at Sherweb. “Adding DefensX to our marketplace gives MSP partners a way to safeguard their clients from modern web threats without adding complexity. As the work landscape changes, we know MSPs need to offer their clients security solutions that protect users where they work most.Our partnership with DefensX reinforces our commitment to helping them protect their clients in a way that makes sense for their businesses.”
