Ignition Technology has recently announced an exclusive distribution partnership with Siemplify to bring the company’s security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) technology to a growing UK Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) community.
Siemplify’s innovative SOAR platform helps security teams manage their operations and respond to cyber-threats with speed and precision. The platform combines security orchestration, automation and response with end-to-end security operations management to make analysts and security engineers more productive.
“As the MSSP market matures, customers are increasingly expecting more than just the delivery of alerts – ultimately, they want their MSSP to chase down these alerts and, if needed, carry out the remediation work to both stop the attack and fix the underlying issue,” says Sean Remnant, CSO for Ignition Technology.
“The issue is that resolving every phishing email or suspicious login is time consuming – and in many cases, requires significant human intervention from a skilled security analyst. This process is difficult to scale while remaining cost efficient so what happens is that some MSSPs may end up cutting corners due to the sheer workload.”
“Instead, platforms such as Siemplify do more than just sort the wheat from the chaff but also carry out certain remediation steps in an automated way that can dramatically reduce a security analysts’ workload – and ultimately – better serve the end customer.”
The solution is fully multi-tenanted and supports integration with third-party ticketing and helpdesk systems including ServiceNow, BMC and Jira. Ignition will work closely with Siemplify to both grow and enable the fledgling UK channel including pre, and post-sale support, integration best practice and advanced training.
“Ignition is a perfect partner for our continued growth within the UK MSSP community as we share many of the same values around helping partners use automation to overcome the challenges we all face with recruiting and retaining skilled staff,” says Wayne Geockeritz, VP Global Channel Sales for Siemplify. “As more organisations turn to MSSPs to deliver a broader range of cybersecurity services, security orchestration, automation and response is becoming vital in helping providers to focus on the critical events and better utilise their expertise.”
