Darren Hopkins, partner at McGrathNicol Advisory, said the firm’s award recognised its cyber and incident response team’s commitment to helping clients minimise risks and mitigate threats in an ever-evolving cyber security landscape.
“We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with SentinelOne and congratulations to all the other category winners,” he said.
Jason Duerden, regional director A/NZ at SentinelOne, said as cyberattacks become more widespread and complex, it was imperative for organisations to have access to advanced, intelligence-based solutions.
“We understand the requirements faced by local agencies and XDR is the answer to detect, respond to and remediate threats in a real-time, compliant way,” he said.
