Logicalis has become the first global Cisco partner to launch Cisco Extended Detection and Response (XDR) as a managed service (MXDR).  

This global service provides advanced visibility into cyberattack chains, AI-driven automation and global threat intelligence data. It also forms part of the recently launched Intelligent Security portfolio and increases Logicalis’ proactive threat-hunting capabilities worldwide.

“As security threats escalate against a backdrop of the global skills shortage, we focus on removing both these headaches from our customers. Through our SOC [security operations centre], they can leverage expertise and solutions tailored to their digital environment through one unified platform,” Logicalis CTO Toby Alock said.  

“Our commitment to developing our partnerships and ongoing investment ensures our customers have access to unparalleled security solutions wherever and whenever needed, building their defences against bad actors.”

In addition to the global threat-hunting scale offered by Cisco MXDR, Logicalis is also one of a small group of Microsoft partners to have achieved verified Global MXDR Partner status.  

Logicalis’ MXDR services are managed through its global network of SOCs. 

“With Cisco XDR built into Logicalis’ global service, we are able to provide our mutual customers with an improved ability to quickly and effectively identify and respond to security threats,” Cisco vice president of global partners and distribution sales Andrew Sage added.

During the Cisco Partner Summit last month, Logicalis Asia Pacific (APAC) secured the Sustainability Partner of the Year for the second time in a row.
