Logpoint and METCLOUD partner to tackle rise in cyber threats
Wed, 20th Sep 2023

Logpoint has announced a partnership with METCLOUD in the UK to address fundamental cybersecurity challenges for organisations as the threat landscape worsens and cybersecurity expertise becomes increasingly scarce, the company states.

As reported in a statement from the company, METCLOUD will offer Logpoint Converged SIEM, including SIEM, SOAR, UEBA, AgentX, and Business-Critical Security (BCS) technologies, to empower customers to efficiently manage, identify and remediate cyber threats across the business landscape.

Ian Vickers, CEO at METCLOUD, says, "Logpoint's solutions give us a greater breadth of capabilities around predictive and preventative analytics, and management and insights across the technology landscape."

"Logpoint has a unique offering with BCS for SAP, enabling us to address the significant SAP ERP market. SAP customers account for 87 percent of total global commerce, which is an enticing target for cybercriminals. Furthermore, the rapid adoption of AI/ML, IOT, OT, VR, Digital Twins, Robotics and Automation makes for a more connected world and as such significantly increases the risks of cyber attacks."

METCLOUD is providing Logpoint Converged SIEM and support services via their private and hybrid cloud offering. Logpoint's cybersecurity platform protects the entire business by providing comprehensive threat detection, investigation and response across clients, servers, network systems, cloud workloads and business-critical applications.

In addition, METCLOUD has developed its own AI and Data Analytics services that integrate with Logpoint converged SIEM to further accelerate the speed of threat detection and remediation.

Jesper Zerlang, CEO at Logpoint, says, "We're excited about the synergies that the partnership between METCLOUD and Logpoint brings to market. The ability for mid-market organisations to consume SIEM-as-a-Service with SOAR capabilities included is valuable because it speeds up threat detection and remediation and this sector tends to lack the expertise, resources and experience required."

"For larger organisations that are likely to have well established SOC capabilities in-house, Logpoint BCS for SAP is a unique, enhanced security offering that adds more capabilities to existing teams."

Logpoint has a range of customers in the UK, spanning the public sector and industries like finance, manufacturing, defence, and retail. By converging SIEM, SOAR, UEBA, endpoint security, and BCS technologies into a cybersecurity operations platform. The platform is available on-prem, in private cloud, and as SaaS.

Logpoint is the creator of a cybersecurity operations platform. The company offers SIEM, UEBA, SOAR and SAP security technologies converged into a complete platform that efficiently detects threats, minimises false positives, autonomously prioritizes risks, responds to incidents, and more. 

METCLOUD is a cloud security provider, delivering highly secure cloud services across private, hybrid & multi-cloud environments.
