March 2023 by Marc Jacob
Ontinue, the managed detection and response (MDR) division of Open Systems and winner of the 2022 Microsoft Security MSSP Partner of the Year award, today announced that its recently launched Ontinue ION managed extended detection and response (MXDR) service is a gold award winner for Best MDR service in the 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. This is the second consecutive win in this category, following last year’s victory when the MDR division still used the Open Systems brand name. This latest award comes only days after Ontinue reached the finals in two categories of the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards: Security Services Innovator and Security Customer Champion.
Ontinue ION redefines what is possible with MDR; delivering Nonstop SecOps with 24/7, always-on protection that improves overall security program maturity, efficacy and scalability. ION accomplishes this through its unique combination of advanced real-time collaboration and AI-driven automation, which enables faster detection and response and provides a deeper understanding of a customer’s environment for more proactive threat protection. ION maximizes customers’ existing Microsoft security investments and is the first MXDR solution to embed directly into customers’ Microsoft Teams instances, which streamlines real-time collaboration during incident response and delivers critical security information at anytime, anywhere on any device.
“We congratulate Ontinue for the recognition as an award winner in the MDR service category of the 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders and founder of the 600,000-member Information Security Community on LinkedIn, which organizes the 8th annual Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “With over 800 entries in more than 300 award categories, the 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards program is highly competitive. All winners reflect the very best in innovation and excellence in defending against today’s evolving cybersecurity threats.”
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize the companies, products and professionals that demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership in information security. This annual, worldwide awards program is produced by Cybersecurity Insiders in partnership with the Information Security Community on LinkedIn, tapping into the vast experience of over 570,000 cybersecurity professionals.
