With the rise of malicious attacks, cybersecurity is a growing business priority, which has led to greater demand for managed security services. This new partnership enables Infinigate Cloud's MSPs to benefit from managed threat detection and response (MDR) and managed extended threat detection and response (MXDR) services to protect their customers against evolving threats.
"We are seeing a growing requirement for MSPs to provide full 24x7 security protection for their customers," Michael Frisby, senior VP of cloud services at Infinigate Cloud. "For the majority of MSPs, the only viable route to provide true 24x7 managed security protection is through partnership with a specialist provider.
"This provides peace of mind not only for the end-customers but also for MSPs knowing that their customers are being actively protected around the clock. We are delighted to be working with Chorus, a global MSSP leader, to bring a Microsoft Sentinel based SOC-as-a-Service offering to the more than 5,500 MSPs that Infinigate Cloud serves across Europe.
"This addition to our portfolio has the potential to significantly enhance our partner’s security offerings, unlocking new revenue opportunities with MDR and MXDR services that combine human expertise with innovative use of automation, machine learning and threat intelligence."
The managed security services will be provided by Chorus, from their UK-based 24x7x365 Cyber Security Operations Centre. Underpinned by Microsoft’s advanced security technologies, Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR, these services have been recently awarded Microsoft-verified MXDR solution status. With more than 100 employees, Chorus is a member of Microsoft Intelligent Security Association.
"The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association is comprised of some the most reliable and trusted security companies across the globe," said Maria Thomson, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association lead.
Nicky Saner, managing director at Chorus, said, "We are excited to partner with Infinigate Cloud to provide our leading managed security services to their customers. Together, we can help organisations be better protected against continually evolving cyber threats and give them peace of mind in their cybersecurity."
