ON2IT, one of Europe’s largest pure-play Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service providers, today unveiled its Zero Trust SOC App for the Palo Alto Networks® (NYSE: PANW) Application Framework. ON2IT’s Zero Trust SOC-as-a-Service offers customers an economical, enterprise-grade and highly automated alternative for an in house Security Operations Center (SOC), enabling organisations to execute an effective Zero Trust cybersecurity strategy with 24/7 and transparent access to highly trained forensic professionals.

Consuming cybersecurity innovations has become an arduous process. Organizations waste time deploying new sensors every time they want to collect a new piece of data and managing point products rather than improving security controls to stay ahead of attackers. The Palo Alto Networks Application Framework makes it easy to add new security capabilities quickly and efficiently. The framework extends the capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks Security Operating Platform, with a suite of APIs that developers can use to connect innovative apps with rich data, threat intelligence and enforcement points. Organizations gain immediate security value from apps developed by an open ecosystem of trusted innovators.

The ON2IT Zero Trust SOC app enables customers to directly connect the ON2IT security and orchestration platform to the Palo Alto Networks Application Framework. The app expedites the onboarding and security configuration of the IT infrastructure (on-premises, hybrid or cloud-based), giving customers immediate access to the 24/7 detection and response capabilities of the ON2IT Zero Trust SOC team. After onboarding, analysis of security events is highly automated, providing customers with incident-response, monthly reporting, and compliance reporting for standards like GDPR and ISO27001 (UK). Manual interventions by the our SOC analysts allow for rapid response in case of continuity threatening events.
