Think Differently

Jabari Norton, vice president of worldwide partners at alliances at Sumo Logic (the vendor views threat protection through a security information and event management lens; it focuses on early detection and response, and user training for spotting phishing attempts and social engineering):

“Providers can best approach and address threat protection for clients by embracing SaaS or cloud platforms that provide fast time to value and provide capabilities for both cloud and on-premises in the same platform.

“For example, while traditional SIEM solutions have been integral for MSP and MSSP portfolios, many of them are now migrating to SaaS-based SIEM solutions to make it more flexible for both pure cloud or hybrid environments. Through this change, users are granted specific controls for security compliance and alert correlation for threat protection.”
