Password Boss Acquires AutoElevate to Give MSPs Increased Cybersecurity Protection Levels

Password Boss, a password manager solution provider for MSPs, recently acquired AutoElevate, a provider of automated privileged access management (PAM) software. The acquisition will bring together two security solutions, giving MSPs the ability to better drive security for their own and their clients’ organizations. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

David Bellini, CEO of Password Boss, and Todd Jones, co-founder of AutoElevate, have a combined 50+ years of MSP industry experience. In addition to his role as CEO of Password Boss, Bellini is a founder and CFO of ConnectOn, a Tampa Bay area provider of managed services, cloud services and security services. In 1982, he co-founded ConnectWise, a technology solutions provider for MSPs that was acquired by Thoma Bravo in 2019. Jones, who began as an MSP more than 20 years ago, founded and managed a security-centric MSP practice in Colorado before being acquired in 2016. In 2018, he launched Miami-based AutoElevate to fulfill the need he saw for an MSP-based solution for privilege management. 

Bellini will serve as CEO of both organizations. Jones will remain with AutoElevate to manage operations and ongoing technology initiatives.
