Orange Cyberdefense earns Cortex XMDR Select status in Asia Pacific
Orange Cyberdefense has been named a Cortex eXtended Managed Detection and Response (XMDR) Select Specialisation Partner by Palo Alto Networks. The company, which is part of the Orange Group and focuses on cybersecurity solutions and services, joins a select group of global channel partners who have achieved the Cortex XMDR Select Specialisation distinction. This requires operational capabilities as well as the successful completion of business requirements, technical certification, sales enablement, and specialisation examinations. The newly awarded Cortex XMDR Select Specialisation allows Orange Cyberdefense to combine Palo Alto Networks' Cortex XDR detection and response solution with its own managed services. This combination is intended to help clients simplify security operations centre (SOC) tasks and respond more quickly to cyber threats. Philip Lee, Head of Orange Cyberdefense, APAC, said, "This recognition further underscores the well-positioned partnership between Orange Cyberdefense and Palo Alto Network in providing customers with the tools, expertise, and resources necessary to navigate the complex cyber threat environment in the Asia Pacific region." Michelle Saw, Vice President, Ecosystem, Asia Pacific & Japan, Palo Alto Networks, commented on the relationship, stating, "NextWave partners play a critical role throughout the customer lifecycle, from the initial qualifying stage to ultimately ensuring successful deployment and adoption of our technology." She added, "Organisations need effective detection and response across the network, endpoint, and cloud but managing today's threats effectively is a massive undertaking. Orange Cyberdefense's commitment to attain the Cortex XMDR Select Specialisation will give their managed security services customers peace of mind that the services they are choosing will mitigate security gaps and relieve the day-to-day burden of security operations for customers with 24/7 coverage." Customers working with an XMDR-accredited CyberSOC from Orange Cyberdefense are expected to benefit in several key areas. These include improved security posture through advanced tools provided by Palo Alto Networks, 24/7 advanced threat detection and mitigation, comprehensive protection against a wide array of cyber threats for businesses in various industries across Asia Pacific, and seamless integration with existing security frameworks. To obtain the Select Specialisation, partners must employ Cortex XDR-certified SOC analysts and threat hunters who are available at all hours, and they must complete thorough technical and sales enablement as well as specialisation assessments. The programme is designed to ensure that partners deliver experienced analysts, mature operational processes, and established customer support, working alongside Palo Alto Networks' security products to provide comprehensive, multi-faceted protection for network, endpoint, and cloud assets. This achievement follows an earlier milestone where Orange Cyberdefense was granted the Palo Alto Networks NextWave Cortex XSIAM Specialisation Status in APAC and globally. This recognition is awarded to managed security service providers with demonstrated expertise in deploying Cortex XSIAM as a managed service. Cortex XSIAM is described as an AI-driven platform that consolidates data and SOC capabilities, encompassing detection and response (XDR), security orchestration (SOAR), attack surface management (ASM), security information and event management (SIEM), and eliminates the need for multiple operational consoles. The company has since implemented the AI-driven platform across 10 customers in different industries worldwide, reporting improvements to their security operations and expertise among local teams. Orange Cyberdefense operates 15 CyberSOC points of presence globally, with two located in the Asia Pacific region: one in India and another in China.
