Sydney's Sekuro launches CrowdStrike powered XDR platform

Sydney-headquartered information security consultancy Sekuro has launched a CrowdStrike powered SIEM and log management security platform.

The platform was built using CrowdStrike's Falcon LogScale as well as its Next-Gen SIEM and log management offering.

Sekuro said the platform's sovereign architecture provides an isolated, customer specific tenancy that ensures data ownership.

The platform's extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities use analytics and AI to automate detection, investigation and correlation of alerts, the company said.

"Our team has experienced the frustrating realities of slow, costly and painfully integrated security solutions throughout our careers. That's why we developed our managed XDR platform, powered by CrowdStrike and AWS—to defy those limitations," said Brodie Downes, director of managed services at Sekuro.

"This platform is exactly what we always needed but could never get in the past. By taking a novel approach to traditional SecOps problems, incorporating human-driven threat intelligence, and using AI to reduce tech debt and the subsequent TOIL tax, we've created a solution that not only detects and blocks attacks across the enterprise, but does so faster and more efficiently than ever before.”

Sekuro said the platform allows businesses to avoid data dependency on foreign entities as well as international border and foreign jurisdiction concerns.

It's designed to be deployed and contained in any in-country instance of Amazon Web Services.

“Our core mission at CrowdStrike is stopping breaches, which aligns with Sekuro’s dedication to assist organisations of all sizes to improve cybersecurity,” said Michael Sentonas, president at CrowdStrike.

“With Falcon LogScale powering Sekuro’s adaptive security platform, we’re providing industry leading technology to advance our shared objectives while allowing customers to gain greater control over their data.”

Sekuro's CEO Noel Allnutt said “as leaders and architects of cyber resilience, we take immense pride in crafting a solution accessible to all organisations, regardless of their inhouse capabilities."

"Our holistic approach to managed XDR closes visibility gaps for security teams managing operations across hybrid environments, detecting, investigating and responding to threats across all attack vectors.”

“We've woven people, process and technology into a single turn-key system that delivers immediate, measurable organisational outcomes that even a CFO can get behind. We've reduced mean time to acknowledge, notify and respond by up to 95 percent, whilst increasing threat detection coverage by 10x over the same period."
