RFA Launches First-of-Its-Kind Co-Managed Security Operations Center ("SOC") for MSPs

NEW YORK and LONDON, April 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- RFA, globally-trusted managed IT, development, Cloud and cybersecurity services provider, today announces the launch of RFA Security-Platform-as-a-Service ("SPaaS"), a first of its kind solution purpose-built to help MSPs start a managed security services practice and grow it into a major profit center. RFA SPaaS is powered by RFA's AiRE (Automated Incident Response Engine), a proprietary SOC compliance and automation tool, and Seceon aiSIEM™, the award-winning, industry leading adaptive and intelligent security information and event management platform.

Operational complexities, security platform pricing models, and demand for industry-certified talent represent significant barriers to entry for MSPs wishing to establish effective managed detection and response ("MDR") services for their clients.

MSPs looking to offer managed security solutions now have full access to the RFA platform, which, powered by Seceon aiSIEM™ and RFA's AiRE, offers:

• Effective real-time detailed alerting leveraging AI & machine learning capabilities and predictive analytics.
• Comprehensive integration across multiple devices and security layers, granting instantaneous and contextual data ingestion for comprehensive visualization.
• Automated response for threat mitigation by full integration with Public and Private Cloud networks and identity management systems.
• Integration of 3^rd party workflow and remediation solutions; achieve lower investigation thresholds and remediation efficacy by adding endpoint detection response ("EDR") systems with natural language investigation capabilities to the RFA security platform.
• Compliance reporting and auditing.

The new offering, available immediately, can be deployed on public or private Cloud environments and has three service models for MSPs to choose from:

Security-as-a-Service: The most comprehensive model includes the full IT Infrastructure (a multi-tenant aiSIEM™ and RFA's AiRE system), partner professional services automation ticketing system integration support, and full white-labeled SOC support (24/7 monitoring, end-to-end alert handling, SOC compliance reporting).
