Liongard’s goal is “to help partners uncover risk, act before incidents happen, and really prove value to their clients at the end of the day,” says Kyle Chandler, director of partner success with Liongard.
Founded in 2015 and built by MSP veterans, Liongard is an attack surface management platform built for MSPs, MSSPs, and IT service providers to secure complex IT environments and deliver cyber resilience. The platform provides visibility from cloud to endpoint and automates asset inventory, documents configuration changes, and continuously detects misconfigurations. It is designed to eliminate error and reduce manual labor to help MSPs increase their bottom line.
“We are often looked at as a power tool in the space,” says Chandler. “It provides unparalleled visibility into the IT stack, which is crucial for MSPs.”
Enhancements in 2025
This year, the company has added several innovations to its platform. In May, Liongard rolled out a major product evolution with LiongardIQ, which unifies asset inventory, network monitoring, AI insights, and remediation, exposing blind spots, surfacing vulnerabilities, and eliminating manual effort, according to the company. The AI-powered asset summaries provide contextual, plain-language insights with aligned guidance and broader support for frameworks like CIS and NIST. In addition, the platform detects critical changes across the stack and generates intelligent alerts on Microsoft 365 events. It also automates remediation and hardening. And MSPs can share dashboards and reports tailored for QBRs, compliance, and customer trust.
And in August, Liongard introduced HunterX, a tool for external exposure scanning. The standalone tool enables MSPs to run ongoing and agentless scans for existing clients to help uncover new risks. In addition, Liongard says MSPs can use HunterX as a sale tool; it enables sales teams to scan public domains, uncover exposed assets, and generate AI-enriched reports.
Chandler says Liongard’s dedication to MSP partners is a key reason he joined the company about 18 months ago. “A really nice feature of Liongard is we assist with operational efficiencies within an MSP, so we like to provide an internal use license for our partners to kind of eat their own dog food and reap the benefits of having their own house in order while seeking to also provide that value proposition to their clients.”
In this episode of Partner Playbook with Tonya Gentry of Big Red Media/MSP Success, Chandler reveals how Liongard is doubling down efforts to help partners grow and leaning into some recent feature releases to help partners reduce tool sprawl. He also shares Liongard’s shift to onboarding partners around the outcomes they’re looking for, and how partners can be successful with Liongard.
