Connectability

Overview

About

Connectability is a managed IT services provider based at 28 Eugene Street in North York, Ontario. Founded in 1995, the company employs between 11 and 50 people and is led by President Brad Shafran, who can be reached at (647) 724-5514. It supports small and midsize businesses with day-to-day helpdesk, cloud systems, backup, and layered cybersecurity, and its service area covers Toronto, North York, and the wider Greater Toronto Area.

The company's service lines include managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud services, IT consulting, backup and recovery, helpdesk, remote monitoring and management, network services, email protection, and mobile device management. Its managed IT work covers the ongoing administration of client technology, while its remote monitoring and management services watch systems for issues around the clock. Its cybersecurity services address the protection of client systems and data, and its email protection services help defend inboxes against phishing and malicious messages.

Its cloud services cover the hosted platforms businesses use for storage, applications, and collaboration, and its backup and recovery services protect client data with a path to restore it when something goes wrong. Its network services cover the wired and wireless connectivity offices depend on, and its mobile device management services help clients control and secure the phones and tablets used for work. Its IT consulting services give clients guidance on technology decisions and planning. The company's technology partners include Sophos, SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Microsoft, Lenovo, and Kaseya, which reflects a mix of security vendors, hardware makers, and management platforms behind its service delivery.

Its partner mix says something about how Connectability protects clients. Sophos and SentinelOne are endpoint and threat protection vendors, so the company's cybersecurity services include the tools that watch individual devices for malicious behavior. Proofpoint is an email security vendor, which connects directly to its email protection services that defend inboxes against phishing and malicious messages. Microsoft sits behind its cloud services and productivity work, while Lenovo covers the hardware side of client environments. Kaseya is an IT management platform, which supports its remote monitoring and management services that watch client systems for issues. Together, these relationships let a company of 11 to 50 people deliver layered security and management to small and midsize businesses: endpoints are watched, email is filtered, networks are maintained, devices are managed, data is backed up, and staff have a helpdesk to call when something goes wrong. For a North York business that cannot justify a full internal IT department, that combination covers the essentials.
