Allen, TX - ControlOne introduces Global Security Policies, enabling our MSP partners to efficiently create, edit, and assign security policies across multiple customer accounts and zones. ControlOne already dramatically simplifies network connectivity and security while enabling Zero Trust Network Access. Global Security Policies takes this to a new level for MSPs by enabling faster, more consistent deployments across customers. While you can always customize policies per individual client, you can now develop standard global policies from which to create or update client networks. Consistent, policy-driven configuration significantly reduces the risk of human error, a leading cause of security incidents. Standardization also makes troubleshooting and compliance management significantly easier. By implementing Global Policies, ControlOne delivers a powerful "write once, apply to many" model to all your security policies, enhancing efficiency and security across the board.

"We are committed to providing our partners the ability to standardize and manage their ControlOne environment at scale," said Rob McDonald, Chief Product Officer at Cytracom. "It's clear that MSPs desire standard network deployments, and the functionality introduced by Global Security Policies is a giant stride in helping our partners achieve this goal."

This feature simplifies and expedites deployment to new clients, ensuring better compliance enforcement and consistency in security policy configuration. As a result, you can streamline processes, enhance security measures, and provide a more reliable service to your customers. The Global Policies you create, and any future edits, will automatically cascade to all your customers, ensuring consistency and up-to-date security!

Key Benefits:

  • Customizable Cloning: This feature allows partners to clone a Global Security Policy at the customer level and customize it as needed.

  • Streamlined Management: Edits to Global Policies automatically apply to all customers, keeping security measures current.

  • Consistency and Compliance: Ensures uniform security measures, enhancing compliance and reducing errors.

  • Efficient Deployment: Simplifies onboarding by eliminating repetitive security policy configurations.
