What’s New in the Platform

We’re excited to bring you new feature updates and improvements
to our existing product.

Randomized Timing for Phishing Simulations

By mimicking the unpredictable nature of real-world phishing attacks, randomized email delivery helps MSPs deliver more authentic training experiences to customers, boosting user vigilance and making simulated threats harder to game or ignore. Instead of sending all simulation emails at once, this feature gradually delivers them at random times during business hours, across 70% of the campaign’s duration, creating a more realistic and effective phishing simulation.


Advanced Detection for Email Scanning

By analyzing both sender behavior and attachment content, this update gives MSPs sharper insight into sophisticated, email-based threats that typically fly under the radar. With context-aware LLM detection, Guardz now flags unusual senders using historical patterns and scans the contents of text-based attachments, making it easier to catch malicious emails, even when the message body is empty.


A settings panel titled Email Scan displays security options with statuses: Impersonation Detection On, Email Authentication Detection Off, End-user Reported Email Off, and Spam Detection On. AI Enhanced Scanning is highlighted in pink. Perfect for MSPs.

Updated Playbooks for External Scan Issues

By upgrading the External Scan Issues playbooks, this update helps MSPs move faster from detection to resolution, translating technical findings into clear, actionable next steps. With improved guidance and vendor references for the most common risks, including TLS misconfigurations, exposed service databases, vulnerable and outdated technologies, and WordPress-related issues, MSPs can prioritize and remediate with confidence.

Now Reporting in 10 Languages

This update helps MSPs strengthen relationships, build trust, and simplify security conversations by offering reports in their customers’ native language. With support for 10 new languages, including French, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), German, and more, Prospecting and Security Business Review reports can now speak your customers’ language, not just yours.


A language selection dropdown is open on a website, showing options like Dutch, French, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, and Italian. In the background, MSPs can see a partially visible form to create a new security report.

Billing Change for Existing Customers

As part of our ongoing commitment to simplicity and transparency, we’re updating our billing model. 
 
The last prorated invoice will be on July 1st. Starting with the August 1st invoice, we’ll move to a fixed snapshot billing approach.
 
Here’s how it works:
– On the 1st of each month, we’ll take a snapshot of your usage.
– Any usage above your minimum commitment will be added to that month’s invoice.
– We will still bill you upfront for the month based on your minimum commitment and usage.
– No more mid-month proration.
