Webroot Introduces Unity API
November 2016 by Marc Jacob
Webroot announced the release of Webroot Unity API
(Unity).
Managed Service Provider (MSP) security administrators can use Unity to securely
connect services and data sets to Webroot’s SecureAnywhere(r) Business Endpoint
Protection
(GSM) console. With Unity, MSPs can easily extract data and tailor, integrate and
automate their endpoint offerings for better productivity, improved financial
control, customized alerting and reporting, and increased profitability.
Because Unity uses representational state transfer (REST) architecture,
administrators only have to set up their secure credentials once to authenticate
connection. Once connected, MSPs are able to extract data from their consoles as
desired. This on-demand instant access to data and services allows MSPs using Unity
API to:
* Generate highly detailed and personalized reports at a moment’s notice;
* Deliver detailed client or global views via a customizable dashboard;
* And, provide the data needed to automate organization-wide processes
including business intelligence applications and billing.
Unity also aids MSPs in lowering their costs through the integration and automation
of technologies and business processes. Currently geared towards MSPs, Unity will
serve as the API for Webroot’s threat intelligence and shared application services
platform, and provide an easy integration point for all products and services.
