Kaseya launched Kaseya Directory Services and Kaseya Policy Management, two new products that will allow IT professionals to further improve the way they view and manage their networks.
Kaseya Directory Services solution allows customers to automate the process of syncing their Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure for complete visibility from the Kaseya IT Automation Framework while also ensuring access and data privileges are uniform to execute efficient IT services.
Kaseya Policy Management streamlines the process of creating, setting and remotely applying IT policies to groups of systems across a distributed organization.
Key features of Kaseya Directory Services include:
* Active Directory integration – allows administrators to choose appropriate groups of users and machines to map into Kaseya while allocating them specific rights and access options.
* Password reset and disable account – technician enablement to remotely reset user passwords or disable accounts directly from the Kaseya Portal.
* Unified Login access – administrators can login to the Kaseya Portal using their domain login credentials while end users will have the option to connect to their work computer remotely using their familiar login credentials.
* Alerts and notifications – a bundled set of alerts can be configured to notify key personnel when changes have occurred within the Active Directory domain including new users and machines.
As IT organizations are required to manage more and more machines across distributed networks with different requirements and SLA standards - security or otherwise - the need for policy management becomes clear. With the introduction of Kaseya Policy Management, IT professionals can manage machine policies by organization, group or machine, meaning defined service level agreements can be set up, published and managed in one location quickly and efficiently.
Key Features of the Policy Management module include:
* Policy definition and management – multiple named policies can be defined, assigned and nested at a number of different levels including organization, group and machine. Policy settings cover the key areas of the Kaseya Management Framework, including:
- Remote Control Settings
- Kaseya Portal Access
- Maintenance Routines
- Monitor Alarms, Alerts and Patch Policies
* Dashboard – at a glance, administrators can quickly ascertain the overall status of all policies in the system, highlighting important metrics such as the number of machines in or out of compliance, machines not covered by the policy or other metric.
* Automated Policy assignment – an automated assignment scheme streamlines the process of bringing new machines under service. Equally, once a policy has been applied to a machine, any subsequent changes to the policy get automatically propagated to the assigned machines.
* Combined Policies – via the flexible assignment scheme, multiple policies can be assigned to any group of machines
The Kaseya Directory Services and Kaseya Policy Management modules are available now for new and existing customers and can be purchased as a subscription or perpetual license.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
