Brussels, March, 23, 2022 — Managed Security Services provider NVISO, today announced it has become a Palo Alto Networks Cortex® XMDR Specialization partner. NVISO joins a select group of channel partners who have earned this distinction through operational capabilities and fulfillment of business requirements and completion of technical, sales enablement and specialization examinations. The Cortex XMDR Specialization will enable NVISO to combine the power of best-in-class Cortex XDR™ detection and response solution with their managed services offerings — helping customers worldwide streamline security operations center (SOC) operations and quickly mitigate cyberthreats.
“We are excited to partner with Palo Alto Networks to provide our customers with next-generation security technology for our services,” said Carola Wondrak, Business Development Lead at NVISO. Erik Van Buggenhout, Partner at NVISO emphasizes this further: “NVISO’s priority has always been delivering world-class cyber security services to our clients that are not bound to particular technology products or vendors. This being said, we consider Palo Alto Cortex a best-in-class, leading, platform which we rely on at the core of our managed services. We are thus very excited to be recognized as an XMDR Specialization partner.”
“Organizations need effective detection and response across the network, endpoint, and cloud but managing today’s threats effectively is a massive undertaking,” said Karl Soderlund, senior vice president, Worldwide Channel Sales at Palo Alto Networks. “NVISO’s commitment to attain the Cortex XMDR Specialization will give their managed security services customers peace of mind that the services they are choosing will mitigate security gaps and relieve the day-to-day burden of security operations for customers with 24/7 coverage.”
NVISO has a successful history with Palo Alto Networks, specifically focusing on Cortex solutions. Through everything NVISO does, automation plays a crucial role. As an XSOAR MSSP partner of Palo Alto Networks, NVISO builds on Cortex XSOAR for its own internal efficiency through automation and orchestration, yet also provides automation services to its customers as an MSSP. NVISO has flexible deployments models whereby it can provide either dedicated, co-managed (shared responsibility between NVISO and the end customer) or fully outsourced XSOAR deployment models.
To achieve Specialization status, Palo Alto Networks partner organizations must have Cortex XDR-certified SOC analysts/threat hunters on staff and available 24/7. Partners seeking this XMDR Specialization distinction must also complete both technical and sales enablement and specialization examinations. Cortex XMDR Specialization partners combine experienced analysts, mature operational processes and proven customer support with Palo Alto Networks market-leading security products, enabling them to provide customers comprehensive visibility, detection and response across network, endpoint and cloud assets, combined with best-in-class threat prevention and in-depth security expertise.
