Security News > 2020 > June > ConnectWise issues a slightly scary but unusually significant security advisory

ConnectWise isn't a vendor most Reg readers deal with directly, but the fact the company has just issued its first-ever security advisory deserves attention.

That's because ConnectWise specialises in software that IT services providers use to manage your IT. The 38-year-old company is the dominant force in that market, meaning that if you work with a system integrator, managed services provider or other outsourcer there's a decent chance that ConnectWise touches some of the tech your business relies on.

ConnectWise found its security questioned again a month later after catching ransomware itself.

In early 2020 security consultancy Bishop Fox put the company under the microscope and found eight vulnerabilities in ConnectWise code.

The Register imagines customers of service providers that use ConnectWise will do likewise, because it's well understood that many attacks exploit the weakest link in a security chain.
