At Seceon’s 2024 Innovation and Certification Days, we had the privilege of showcasing one of the strongest partnerships in the cybersecurity landscape today—our collaboration with Exertis, a leading distributor of enterprise IT solutions who recently launched their own MSP powered by Seceon. During the event, Seceon’s own Peter Christou sat down with Geoff Towns and Dominic Ryles from Exertis to discuss the transformative impact this partnership has had on both companies.

Why Exertis Chose Seceon

The conversation kicked off with Peter Christou asking Geoff and Dominic what drove Exertis to launch an MSP and choose Seceon as a partner. As Geoff Towns explained, it was a combination of the advanced capabilities of Seceon’s AI-driven platform and the alignment of both companies’ visions.

“We have extensive industry expertise dating back over 30 years, and what we’re really trying to do here is bring Seceon’s AI-driven security solution across [our] regions,” Geoff noted. The decision to build a managed Security Operations Center (SOC) offering, powered by Seceon’s platform, was a natural extension of Exertis’ mission to provide scalable, proactive cybersecurity solutions.

For MSPs, this means a more streamlined, efficient way to protect clients from growing cyber threats. With Seceon’s comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities, Exertis is enabling their partners to offer cutting-edge security solutions without the overhead of managing everything in-house.

Scalable, AI-Driven Security for MSPs

One of the key benefits of the Seceon platform highlighted during the discussion is its scalability, something Dominic Ryles emphasized: “Our goal is to ensure that our partners can gain access to cutting-edge technology that’s easy to deploy and manage—particularly in a managed security services environment, which is critical.”

Seceon’s Open Threat Management (OTM) platform, powered by AI and machine learning, allows MSPs to automate threat detection, mitigation, and response at scale. This automation not only reduces the workload for cybersecurity teams but also ensures that threats are neutralized before they can cause damage.

Dominic reinforced the importance of this scalability: “The decision to build a managed SOC offering was relatively easy. With the increased complexity and volume of cyberattacks today, there are a lot of partners struggling to maintain the necessary in-house expertise or response capabilities. Our SOC fills that gap.”

This message resonates strongly with MSPs that are looking to expand their security services without having to hire large teams of analysts. Seceon’s AI-driven technology allows partners to efficiently manage threat detection and response across multiple clients and environments.

Enhancing the MSP Offering

Another crucial point Geoff made during the presentation was how this partnership allows MSPs to enhance their offerings and create new revenue streams. Seceon’s platform doesn’t just stop at threat detection—it offers a comprehensive security solution that integrates with an MSP’s existing tech stack, making it easier to offer managed security services to clients of all sizes.

“From my perspective, we’re essentially empowering our partners to deliver advanced security services to their customers. We’re enabling them to enhance their security stack, and they’re clearly going to make a bit more money from that,” Geoff noted.

For MSPs and MSSPs, this is an opportunity to differentiate their offerings in a crowded market. By leveraging Seceon’s OTM platform, partners can offer advanced threat detection, AI-powered automation, and proactive defense—all key selling points when it comes to winning new clients and retaining existing ones.

Proactive Cybersecurity in an Evolving Threat Landscape

The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly evolving, and both Seceon and Exertis are well aware of the challenges that MSPs face in staying ahead of these threats. As Dominic put it, “We’re helping our partners deliver very precise and proactive threat detection and response capabilities, safeguarding their environments from the sophisticated attacks we’re seeing today.”

This proactive approach is one of the reasons why Seceon’s platform is a game-changer for MSPs. By leveraging real-time data and AI-driven analytics, Seceon can detect and neutralize threats before they escalate into full-blown incidents. For MSPs, this means less time spent reacting to security breaches and more time providing value to their clients.

As Geoff pointed out, “Having Seceon underpin our SOC capability means we’re utilizing cutting-edge technology ourselves. The use of AI and machine learning enables us to automate at scale, ensuring that our partners and customers are protected from breaches before they can cause harm.”

Strengthening the Partner Ecosystem

Seceon’s collaboration with Exertis isn’t just about providing cutting-edge technology; it’s about strengthening the entire partner ecosystem. By making advanced cybersecurity accessible and manageable, Exertis is helping its partners build more resilient offerings while driving revenue growth.

“We’re bringing on AI-driven security solutions for resellers and MSPs across the regions we operate in,” said Dominic. “This allows us to enable a broad range of partners to offer the same high level of threat detection and response that larger enterprises have access to.”

This partnership model empowers even smaller MSPs to deliver enterprise-level cybersecurity solutions, opening up new opportunities in markets that were previously difficult to serve. 

Looking Ahead: The Future of Seceon and Exertis

As the session drew to a close, it was clear that both Seceon and Exertis were excited about the future of their partnership. With plans to continue innovating and expanding their offerings, they remain committed to helping MSPs stay ahead in a rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape.

Geoff summed it up best: “We’re preventing breaches before they can cause any damage, and that’s the real value we’re bringing to the table. This partnership with Seceon allows us to offer a level of security that wasn’t previously possible for many of our partners.”

For MSPs looking to stay ahead of cyber threats and grow their security offerings, the Seceon-Exertis partnership offers an unmatched opportunity to deliver AI-driven, scalable cybersecurity solutions. Whether you’re a small MSP looking to grow or an established MSSP aiming to enhance your stack, this collaboration is designed to help you succeed.
