Ekco, one of Europe's leading security-first managed security service providers (MSSP), has announced the acquisition of Cork-based Datalogix. Ekco, founded and headquartered in Dublin, is continuing its ambitious acquisition trail, following a busy year in 2025 with three strategic acquisitions. Datalogix is a Cork-headquartered operational technology (OT) business with over 20 years' experience delivering proactive OT services to enterprise customers across Ireland, the UK, and the US. It provides secure OT infrastructure design, implementation, and support services that automate industrial processes for companies in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, general manufacturing, and critical national infrastructure sectors. The company's team will join Ekco's workforce of more than 1,000 people globally across Ireland, UK, the Netherlands, Malaysia, and South Africa. Datalogix will form part of Ekco's security division, bringing the division's revenues to a €100 million share of Ekco's overall group revenues of €200 million. The acquisition will significantly expand Ekco's OT capabilities in the Irish, UK, and US markets, under the leadership of Ekco Ireland CEO Steve MacNicholas. It will enable Ekco to increasingly secure IT and OT convergence for customers amidst a growing OT threat landscape and a complex regulatory backdrop. As part of Ekco's rapid growth strategy, Datalogix marks the eighth company to be acquired by Ekco in the last two years. The acquisition follows the 2025 purchases of cybersecurity consultancy Predatech, and managed service providers (MSP) Solsoft and Adapt IT. It signifies another milestone in Ekco's ambition to build a security-first unified MSP platform across Europe. Datalogix is led by Managing Director Der Cremen and Chief Technical Officer Damian White, who will bring over 50 years' combined industry experience to Ekco. Steve MacNicholas, CEO of Ekco Ireland, said: "Having known Datalogix well for many years, we have always admired their highly specialised and client focused capabilities as trusted OT advisors in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and critical national infrastructure markets. With Ekco's world class expertise in security-first managed services and cutting-edge technology, this partnership is a perfect match – and we are looking forward to growing and learning together."

What does it take to turn the dream of an autonomous SOC into something organizations can actually deploy? Subo Guha, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, joins Sean Martin to share how the company's AI-driven security operations platform is making that vision a reality. Stellar Cyber serves SOC teams across more than 50 countries, with a primary focus on MSPs and MSSPs supporting the underserved mid-market, though marquee enterprise customers like Canon are also part of the portfolio.How can agentic AI change the way SOC teams handle alert overload? Guha describes what he calls a "digital army" of AI agents that work around the clock to automate alert triage and catch phishing attacks. The system filters 70 to 80 percent of incoming alerts, allowing analysts to focus on the 20 percent that matter most. With attackers using AI to launch faster and more frequent campaigns, Stellar Cyber takes a human-augmented approach, meaning the AI learns from analyst interactions and continuously guides the SOC team toward faster, more accurate remediation.Why does this matter for MSPs operating on thin margins? Guha explains that the autonomous SOC capability layered on top of Stellar Cyber's XDR platform allows MSSPs to serve more customers, reduce mean time to repair, and grow their tenant base without proportionally increasing staff. When MSSPs grow revenue, Stellar Cyber grows alongside them, creating a mutually beneficial model that ultimately means more organizations get protected.This is a Brand Highlight.

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x703! Shameless plug 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 31 mars au 2 avril 2026 - Forum INCYBER - Europe 2026 14 au 17 avril 2026 - Botconf 2026 28 et 29 avril 2026 - Cybereco Cyberconférence 2026 9 au 17 mai 2026 - NorthSec 2026 3 au 5 juin 2026 - SSTIC 2026 19 septembre 2026 - Bsides Montréal Description Introduction Ce podcast réunit Nicolas Milot, Cyndie Fletz et Dominique Derrier pour discuter d'un sujet pour les PME : la différence entre les fournisseurs de services gérés traditionnels (MSP) et les fournisseurs de services de sécurité gérés (MSSP). Cette distinction, souvent mal comprise, a des implications importantes pour la stratégie technologique et la cybersécurité des entreprises. Définitions et différences fondamentales Le MSP (Managed Service Provider) et le MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) ne sont pas interchangeables, malgré la tentation de certains fournisseurs de vouloir tout couvrir. La différence se résume ainsi : le MSP s'occupe principalement de la disponibilité des systèmes informatiques, tandis que le MSSP se concentre sur la sécurité contre les cybermenaces. Le rôle du MSP est de s'assurer que tout fonctionne sans interruption : les pages web s'affichent, les commandes sont traitées, les bons de commande s'impriment et les clients reçoivent des réponses. C'est une question d'opérations quotidiennes et de continuité des affaires. Le MSSP, quant à lui, se préoccupe de l'intégrité et de la confidentialité des données. Il surveille et protège contre les acteurs malveillants et les cyberattaques. Au Québec, pratiquement toutes les entreprises offrant des services de cybersécurité sont des MSSP, même si elles ne l'affichent pas toujours explicitement dans leur nom. Approches opérationnelles distinctes Une différence majeure réside dans la nature du travail. Le MSP a “les mains dans la technologie” : il intervient directement sur les systèmes, gère les serveurs, connaît les processus de redémarrage et l'ordre dans lequel les services doivent être relancés. Il sait si la base de données doit redémarrer avant le service web, ou si l'ERP doit être prioritaire sur les robots. Le MSSP, en revanche, travaille davantage dans l'analyse que dans l'intervention directe. Il collecte des informations via des technologies comme les EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) et les SIEM (Security Information and Event Management). Ces outils de défense requièrent une spécialisation particulière pour être exploités à leur pleine valeur. Avoir la capacité technique de déployer ces outils ne signifie pas nécessairement pouvoir en extraire toute la valeur pour le client. Comme l'explique l'équipe, “rouler un outil et l'analyser sont deux choses vraiment différentes”. Un MSP peut savoir utiliser un outil de sécurité, mais sera-t-il capable d'en tirer la valeur analytique maximale? Ce sont des questions essentielles à poser lors du choix d'un fournisseur. L'importance de choisir le bon partenaire Les MSP et MSSP deviennent des partenaires à long terme, voire des extensions de l'équipe TI interne. Il est crucial de ne pas “mélanger les genres”. Demander à un MSSP de gérer le patching ou les opérations quotidiennes, c'est comme “enfoncer une vis avec un marteau ou un clou avec un tournevis” : ce n'est pas le bon outil pour le travail. Inversement, si vous payez un MSSP pour faire du travail de MSP, vous risquez soit de payer trop cher, soit de recevoir un service inadéquat. Les contrats étant généralement conclus sur le long terme, choisir le mauvais type de service peut sérieusement nuire aux objectifs de l'entreprise. La coexistence MSP-MSSP : défis et collaboration Un aspect délicat est la coexistence de ces deux types de fournisseurs. Le MSP se concentre sur le “run” quotidien, tandis que le MSSP doit collaborer avec celui qui opère ce “run”, particulièrement en cas d'incident de sécurité. Cette dynamique peut créer des tensions. La mission du MSP est que tout fonctionne et roule sans interruption, tandis que la mission du MSSP est que tout soit sécuritaire, ce qui peut impliquer des processus plus longs. En cas d'incident de sécurité majeur, ce conflit devient aigu : le client veut remettre sa chaîne de production en marche rapidement, mais le MSSP insiste pour mener une enquête forensique et récupérer des informations critiques. Il peut même y avoir un conflit d'intérêts si la même entreprise offre ces deux volets. C'est au client d'arbitrer entre ces positions, avec toutes les informations fournies par ses partenaires. Le client reste “accountable” devant son propre client et doit pouvoir faire des choix éclairés en fonction de ses priorités d'affaires et de ses obligations légales. L'ordre logique pour les PME Un conseil crucial pour les PME : ne prenez pas de MSSP si vous n'avez pas d'abord une gestion solide de votre IT. Il faut d'abord établir une hygiène de base avant d'investir dans la sécurité avancée. Si un fournisseur de sécurité découvre que vous n'avez même pas d'EDR déployé, vous paierez pour qu'il fasse votre travail TI de base en plus de la sécurité. Cela rendra la sécurité prohibitivement chère et risque de vous “dégoûter” du domaine. Comme le souligne l'équipe, avec 97,1% des entreprises québécoises comptant moins de 100 employés, beaucoup n'ont même pas d'équipe TI interne. Les équipes de sécurité dédiées sont encore plus rares. Ces entreprises devront inévitablement se tourner vers des MSSP à un moment donné, mais seulement après avoir établi des bases solides avec un MSP. Le facteur cyberassurance Les cyberassurances ajoutent une couche de complexité. Elles exigent généralement la présence d'un SOC (Security Operations Center), donc d'un MSSP. Mais elles requièrent aussi que des mesures de base soient en place : l'authentification multifacteur (MFA), la gestion des comptes, le DKIM, etc. Ces éléments, qui relèvent du MSP, doivent être implémentés avant même de pouvoir contracter sérieusement une cyberassurance. Conclusion Le message final est clair : cherchez un partenaire, pas un simple fournisseur. Soyez curieux, posez des questions, mais ne cherchez pas à “coincer” vos fournisseurs avec des questions pièges. La relation doit être collaborative. Et rappelez-vous : ni le MSP ni le MSSP n'est responsable de votre maturité technologique ou sécuritaire. Ils vous aident dans la mesure où vous le voulez, moyennant des frais supplémentaires pour augmenter cette maturité. Enfin, un dernier conseil important : les audits ne doivent jamais être réalisés par votre MSP, car il ne peut pas se vérifier lui-même.

In this episode, we use cybersecurity as a lens to expose a truth that every leader forgets: the biggest threats to your company are the ones you can't see—until they take you down.Scott's career mirrors the evolution of tech itself—from software stores in the '80s to early network integration, to building one of the original managed services models before “MSP” was even a phrase. His latest book, Visible Ops for Cybersecurity, reframes the discipline not as an IT function, but as a visibility function: if you can't see it, you can't secure it… and if you can't secure it, you can't scale it.We break down why ransomware is now franchised, why even the best companies get breached, why cyber insurance is becoming a false safety net, and why every founder—yes, even a team-of-one startup—needs a security-first mindset.This isn't fear-mongering. It's leadership.TL;DR* Assume breach. The #1 mistake founders make is believing they're “too small” to be a target.* Backups are not backups unless they're encrypted, immutable, and air-gapped.* Cyber insurance is not protection—44% of claims were denied in 2024.* Reinvention is mandatory. Tech evolves, threats evolve, your systems must evolve.* Visibility beats bravado. Most failures come from what leaders think is secure, not what actually is.Memorable lines* “Security by obscurity died the day ransomware became a franchise.”* “If the best cybersecurity companies get hacked, your only strategy is resilience.”* “Backups aren't safety—they're hope, unless they're air-gapped.”* “Reinvention isn't optional in tech—it's the price of staying alive.”* “Make the invisible visible, or the invisible will make the decision for you.”Key Ideas We Unpack1. Reinvention as a Survival SkillScott turned retail software into network integration, then into managed services, then into cybersecurity leadership.The pattern:Visibility → Competence → Reinvention.Most founders skip the first step and collapse at the third.2. The Modern Threat Landscape Is IndustrializedRansomware now has:* franchises* training* support hotlines* experts who “close the deal” when an amateur hacker gets stuckThis is organized crime with a customer-service department.3. Backups Are the New LifeboatsThreat actors sit inside systems for 60–365 days before triggering an attack.If your backups are not:* encrypted* immutable* air-gappedyou don't have backups—you have illusions.4. Cyber Insurance Is Becoming a Mirage44% of claims denied.Policies are unregulated.Exclusions keep growing.Insurance is no longer a plan—it's paperwork.5. The Startup Founder Version of CybersecurityIf you're a team of one, your mantra is simple:Be good to your future self.Design tools, workflows, and systems with a security-first mindset from day one.The cheapest hack is the one that never becomes possible.6. Visibility Is a Leadership HabitYou can't manage what you can't see.And almost everything that destroys a business—breaches, failures, slow decay, talent risk—starts in the invisible layer.GuestScott Aldridge — President & CEO of IP Services.Cybersecurity author, technologist, MSSP leader, and early pioneer of managed services.Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-alldridge-1a976/Website: https://ipservices.com/Why This MattersMost founders underestimate risk because they overestimate visibility.If you want a business that survives the next decade, the job is simple:Design for resilience.Assume breach.Back up reality, not hope.Reinvent before the market forces you to.And make the invisible visible—before someone else does.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

We weigh the promise and peril of the AI agent economy, pressing into how overprovisioned non-human identities, shadow AI, and SaaS integrations expand risk while go-to-market teams push for speed. A CMO and a CFO align on governance-first pilots, PLG trials, buyer groups, and the adoption metrics that sustain value beyond the sale.• AI adoption surge matched by adversary AI• Overprovisioned agents and shadow AI in SaaS• Governance thresholds before budget scale• PLG trials, sandbox, and POV sequencing• Visualization to reach the aha moment• Buying groups, ICP, and economic buyer alignment• Post‑sales usage, QBRs, NRR and churn signals• Zero trust limits and non-human identities• Breach disclosures as industry standards• Co-sourcing MSSP with in-house oversightSecurity isn't slowing AI down; it's the unlock that makes enterprise AI valuable. We dive into the AI agent economy with a CMO and a CFO who meet in the messy middle. The result is a practical blueprint for moving from hype to governed production without killing momentum.We start by mapping where controls fail: once users pass SSO and MFA, agents often operate beyond traditional identity and network guardrails. That's how prompts pull sensitive deal data across Salesforce and Gmail, and how third‑party API links expand the attack surface. From there, we lay out an adoption sequence that balances trust and speed. Think frictionless free trials and sandboxes that reach an immediate “aha” visualization of shadow AI and permissions, then progress to a scoped POV inside the customer's environment with clear policies and measurable outcomes. Along the way, we detail the buying group: economic buyers who sign and practitioners who live in the UI, plus the finance lens that sets pilot capital, milestones, and time-to-value expectations.We also challenge sacred cows. Zero trust is essential, but attackers increasingly log in with valid credentials and pivot through integrations, so verification must include non-human identities and agent-to-agent controls. Breach disclosures, far from being a greater threat than breaches, are foundational to ecosystem trust and faster remediation. And while MSSPs add critical scale, co-sourcing—retaining strategic oversight and compliance ownership—keeps accountability inside. If you care about ICP, PLG motions, PQLs, NRR, or simply reducing AI risk while driving growth, this conversation turns buzzwords into a playbook you can run.Vamshi Sriperumbudur: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vamsriVamshi Sriperumbudur was recently the CMO for Prisma SASE at Palo Alto Networks, where he led a complete marketing transformation, driving an impact of $1.3 billion in ARR in 2025 (up 35%) and establishing it as the platform leader.  Chithra Rajagopalan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chithra-rajagopalan-mba/Chithra Rajagopalan is the Head of Finance at Obsidian Security and former Head of Finance at Glue, and she is recognized as a leader in scaling businesses.

Eldon put a $150K line of credit on his house to start eSentire in 2001. No VCs would touch him—they didn't understand services businesses. He worked 12-hour days, 7 days a week for 7 years to hit $1M in revenue. His co-founder coded while he flew to New York on $99 JetBlue flights from Buffalo to save money. Then something clicked: they brought in an experienced CEO who transformed their scrappy cybersecurity consulting into a managed service. Revenue grew from $1M to $10M in just 3 years. They won 95% of competitive deals against Dell-backed SecureWorks by comparing themselves to a local burger joint versus McDonald's. Today eSentire is worth over a billion dollars.

Stellar Cyber Revolutionizes SOC Cybersecurity Operations with Human-Augmented Autonomous Platform at Black Hat 2025 A Stellar Cyber Event Coverage of Black Hat USA 2025 Las VegasAn ITSPmagazine Brand Story with Subo Guha, Senior Vice President Product, Stellar Cyber____________________________Security operations centers face an unprecedented challenge: thousands of daily alerts overwhelming analyst teams while sophisticated threats demand immediate response. At Black Hat USA 2025 in Las Vegas, Stellar Cyber presented a revolutionary approach that fundamentally reimagines how SOCs operate in the age of AI-driven threats.Speaking with ITSPmagazine's Sean Martin, Subo Guha, Senior Vice President of Products at Stellar Cyber, outlined the company's vision for transforming security operations through their human-augmented autonomous SOC platform. Unlike traditional approaches that simply pile on more automation, Stellar Cyber recognizes that effective security requires intelligent collaboration between AI and human expertise.The platform's three-layer architecture ingests data from any source – network devices, applications, identities, and endpoints – while maintaining vendor neutrality through open EDR integration. Organizations can seamlessly work with CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sophos, or other preferred solutions without vendor lock-in. This flexibility proves crucial for enterprises navigating complex security ecosystems where different departments may have invested in various endpoint protection solutions.What sets Stellar Cyber apart is their autonomous SOC concept, which dramatically reduces alert volume from hundreds of thousands to manageable numbers within days rather than weeks. The platform's AI-driven auto-triage capability identifies true positives among thousands of false alarms, presenting analysts with prioritized "verdicts" that demand attention. This transformation addresses one of security operations' most persistent challenges: alert fatigue that leads to missed threats and burned-out analysts.The revolutionary AI Investigator copilot enables natural language interaction, allowing analysts to query the system conversationally. An analyst can simply ask, "Show me all impossible travel incidents between midnight and 4 AM," and receive actionable intelligence immediately. This democratization of security operations means junior analysts can perform at senior levels without extensive coding knowledge or years of experience navigating complex query languages.Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) emerged as another critical focus area during the Black Hat presentation. With identity becoming the new perimeter, Stellar Cyber integrated sophisticated user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) directly into the platform. The system detects impossible travel scenarios, credential attacks, and lateral movement patterns that indicate compromise. For instance, when a user logs in from Portland at 11 PM and then appears in Moscow 30 minutes later, the platform immediately flags this physical impossibility.The identity protection extends beyond human users to encompass non-human identities, addressing the growing threat of automated attacks powered by large language models. Hackers now leverage generative AI to create credential attacks at unprecedented scale and sophistication, making robust identity security more critical than ever.Guha emphasized that AI augmentation doesn't displace security professionals but elevates them. By automating mundane tasks, analysts focus on strategic decision-making and complex threat hunting. MSSPs report dramatic efficiency gains, scaling operations without proportionally increasing headcount. Where previously a hundred thousand alerts might take weeks to process, requiring extensive junior analyst teams, the platform now delivers actionable insights within days with smaller, more focused teams.The platform's unified approach eliminates tool sprawl, providing CISOs with real-time visualization of their security posture. Executive reporting becomes instantaneous, with high-priority verdicts clearly displayed for rapid decision-making. This visualization capability transforms how security teams communicate with leadership, replacing lengthy reports with dynamic dashboards that convey risk and response status at a glance.Real-world deployments demonstrate significant operational improvements. Organizations report faster mean time to detection and response, reduced false positive rates, and improved analyst satisfaction. The platform's learning capabilities mean it becomes more intelligent over time, adapting to each organization's unique threat landscape and operational patterns.As organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats powered by generative AI, Stellar Cyber's human-augmented approach represents a paradigm shift. By combining AI intelligence with human intuition, the platform delivers faster threat detection, reduced false positives, and empowered security teams ready for tomorrow's challenges. The company's commitment to continuous innovation, evidenced by rapid feature releases between RSA and Black Hat, positions them at the forefront of next-generation security operations. Learn more about Stellar Cyber: https://itspm.ag/stellar-cyber--inc--357947Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Subo Guha, Senior Vice President Product, Stellar Cyber | https://www.linkedin.com/in/suboguha/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Stellar Cyber: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/stellarcyberLearn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25Learn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story
