CISA flagged a critical authentication bypass in BeyondTrust Remote Support, CVE-2026-102764, hitting versions 26.2.3 and earlier. Check if you run the affected product and follow the advisory before you re-enable anything. That hole costs you clients if it's exploited.

Kaseya rated an incident critical on its status page: Service Disruption, VSA 10, APAC-Hosted-1. Resolved after 2 hours 12 minutes. That's two plus hours of tickets you don't get back.

A client who can now buy Huntress through a VAR can compare that price to yours; know what your managed layer adds before they ask.

Billing is now the Committed Minimum Quantity or the calculated license usage, whichever is higher, and the 10% overage buffer is gone. The rest of the Kaseya portfolio was due to follow by 30 June 2026. Audit committed quantities against real endpoint counts before renewal.
