    Orange Cyberdefense gets an instant army of independent software vendors and managed security service providers that have integrated their systems to bolster their defences against escalating threats from increasingly motivated state sponsored hackers, organised crime and deranged individuals. “Our managed security services providers can help cybersecurity industry leaders to protect and support our joint customers,” said Microsoft’s MD of security partner marketing, Parri Munsell.

    This collaboration makes it even simpler for customers to monitor their cloud and hybrid IT systems and neutralise threats before they cause damage. Now that Orange Cyberdefense’s  managed threat detection service is based on Microsoft Sentinel and complemented with the collective intelligence of its security partners, clients can see what’s going on in their enterprise.
