e92plus, the leading cybersecurity VAD, has announced the launch of its partnership with Smarttech247, a multi-award-winning MDR (Managed Detection & Response) company and a market leader in Security Operations.
Helping organisations understand and secure their data is the foundation of modern cybersecurity. Smarttech247’s platform VisionX provides threat intelligence with MDR to provide actionable insights, 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response. The solution integrates with key data security solutions, such as advanced Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detect and Response (DDR) to help businesses identify, classify, and secure sensitive information as well as respond to data incidents in real time.
“The volume of data is increasing exponentially - it is estimated that 90% of the world's data was generated in the last two years alone” explains Mukesh Gupta, CEO of e92plus. “Organisations need to protect and secure that data from a variety of threats and attacks, as the value of that data to criminals increases. Smarttech247’s platform provides an automated, proactive service that our partners can take to their customers that enhances their existing technology stack”.
There are key market changes that mean the opportunity for partners is evolving towards managing data security more proactively:
· Data is the new perimeter – a shift that underscores the need for a data-centric approach to security. DSPM has emerged as a crucial strategy, emphasising data discovery and classification as the foundational layer of all security measures.
· Managed DDR provides a holistic security framework built on a data-first approach, and a 24/7 managed offering combines proactive and reactive measures to stop data exfiltration before it starts
· Consolidation of security tools & economies of scale – The current cybersecurity market is complex and customers need integrated, easy-to-use solutions that help them increase efficiencies. The VisionX platform offers a 319% Return on Investment by consolidating various security tools into one platform allowing customers to manage their cloud, on-prem, networks and data infrastructure sustainably.
“As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, organisations need access to innovative, proactive security solutions that can keep pace with emerging threats” explains Raluca Saceanu, CEO, Smarttech247. “Our partnership with e92plus strengthens our ability to deliver cutting-edge data security solutions to businesses globally, ensuring they have the tools and expertise needed to defend against increasingly sophisticated attacks. By combining Smarttech247’s AI-driven threat detection capabilities with e92plus’ extensive channel expertise, we are empowering organisations to build resilience and stay ahead of cyber threats. Together, we are committed to driving innovation and enhancing security outcomes for businesses of all sizes.”
For partners, the opportunity with providing MDR services allow them to support their customers in moving from reactive defence models to proactive strategies, and put data security at the heart of their approach. With the MDR market growing at a rate of 50% YOY (source: Canalys), many MSPs/MSSPs or VARs don’t have the in-house expertise and resources to meet those requirements, therefore outsourcing to a partner that integrates data detection with incident response can provide strong growth opportunities as well as help provide a more comprehensive, holistic solution to their customers.
