What happened
On Oct 19 Portal26 launched its Managed Intelligence Platform (MIP), an AI governance platform that lets MSPs discover AI usage across every client, manage resulting security/compliance risk, and turn it into billable services (license optimization, cost management, AI advisory), alongside the Point2 Academy partner enablement program.
Why it matters
MIP extends AI governance into the SMB/MSP channel where employees use ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini with no oversight, giving evidence-based shadow-AI discovery and risk management to the trusted existing provider rather than forcing SMBs to buy in-house expertise.
Applicability
MSPs and managed-security providers building recurring 'managed intelligence' services should evaluate MIP and Point2 Academy in 2026-2027.
