CyberSheath Selected to Join Microsoft Intelligent Security Association

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CyberSheath Services International today announced that it has been selected to join the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) as one of the association’s first CMMC-focused managed security service providers.

“MISA members are cybersecurity industry leaders,” said Eric Noonan, CEO at CyberSheath. “They’re unified by the common goal of helping secure our customers by offering unique and valuable customized expertise and making the association more effective as it becomes more diverse.”

CyberSheath has extensive Microsoft expertise, including professional and managed security services for a wide array of U.S. defense contractors, and was nominated for MISA for their managed security service offerings for Azure Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. CyberSheath uses a Microsoft technology stack fueled by Microsoft Azure Sentinel, the cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that quickly identifies security threats across hybrid enterprises.

MISA began as an ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISVs) that integrated their security products with Microsoft’s to better defend against a world of increasing threats. Due to increased demand for a closely interwoven security ecosystem, the association is growing and launching an invitation-only pilot program for select managed security service providers.

MISA plays a vital role in reducing the cost and complexity of integrating disparate security tools. Adding managed security service providers promises to increase the ecosystem’s value even more by offering an extra layer of threat protection without requiring day-to-day involvement of in-house security teams,” said Andy Shooman, COO at CyberSheath. “It’s another important step in both strengthening and simplifying security at a time when risk mitigation is one of IT’s highest priorities.”

“The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association has grown into a vibrant ecosystem comprised of the most reliable and trusted security software vendors across the globe,” said Rani Lofstrom, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Security. “Our members, like CyberSheath, share Microsoft’s commitment to collaboration within the cybersecurity community to improve our customers’ ability to predict, detect, and respond to security threats faster.”
