HBR Consulting | August 16, 2022
HBR Managed Services (HBR), a comprehensive strategy, operations and technology consulting firm focused on the legal industry, today announced its partnership with Tanium, the industry's only provider of converged endpoint management (XEM) for complex security and technology environments.
Recognizing that law firms are attractive targets for cyber criminals, HBR is leveraging the Tanium platform to provide IT operations management, IT asset discovery, and security threat response to manage system updates at scale, thereby helping the firm's IT managed services and network operating center (NOC) clients reduce risk and operating costs.
"The Tanium platform allows us to automate patching of OS and applications on servers and workstations, whether those endpoints are attached to a firm's network or not," said Bill Elser, vice president of engineering services at HBR. "That's critical in today's hybrid environment, allowing us to quickly prevent or remediate security or other operational issues by deploying registry changes and executing scripts."
"The legal field faces unique challenges not only to protect the integrity and reputation of individual firms, but to safeguard the various constituencies they serve. "Tanium is keenly aware of the heightened risks the industry faces and we are proud to align with a leader like HBR as they work to secure the interests of their clients. We look forward to expanding this long-term partnership as they continue to grow."
Todd Palmer, SVP of partner sales of Tanium
"We're pleased to add Tanium to our roster of best-in-class vendor partners," added Chris Petrini-Poli, HBR's executive chairman. "HBR is committed to continually innovating services and partnering with best-in-class tool providers. Throughout the past year, we've been investing in relationships that will help us continue to provide exceptional, cost-effective service to our clients. We're proud to be on the leading edge of using top-of-the-line technology that ensures a continuously updated and monitored, safe and secure IT environment, while allowing HBR's team to operate as efficiently as possible."

BlueVoyant | July 05, 2022
BlueVoyant, a rock-solid cyber defense platform company converging internal and external security, today announced it has won the 2022 Microsoft Security U.S. (MSUS) Partner of the Year award.
The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards recognize Microsoft partners who have developed and delivered outstanding Microsoft-based applications, services, and devices during the past year. The MSUS Partner Awards were created to supplement Microsoft's Partner of the Year program, both of which recognize outstanding work by Microsoft partners. The MSUS awards highlight US-specific partner impact.
"BlueVoyant and Microsoft both recognize that cybersecurity is a team sport. "BlueVoyant has developed enablement technologies and scalable services to help customers maximize their Microsoft Security investments — bringing together the very best of both companies to drive the outcomes our customers demand. We are honored that Microsoft named BlueVoyant its prestigious U.S. Security Partner of the Year, among other recent accolades. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Microsoft to deliver the very best in cybersecurity to our joint customers."
Milan Patel, global head of managed security services (MSS) at BlueVoyant
The MSUS Partner of the Year Award recognizes BlueVoyant's commitment and trust that stands behind the company's cloud-native and outcomes-based platform, BlueVoyant Elements™. The platform helps companies across a variety of industries improve their cyber defense posture. Elements not only continuously monitors for problems, but also takes action against any vulnerabilities, risks, or threats, usually in a matter of minutes. The platform is based on three key pillars that help give clients the advantage over attackers — technology, telemetry, and talent. BlueVoyant has more than 700 customers, and 650 employees across five continents, with a proven track record of sustained high growth.
The U.S. Security Partner of the Year award is the latest in a long list of accolades BlueVoyant has won from Microsoft. In 2021, BlueVoyant was named a Microsoft Security 20/20 Partner Awards Winner for Top MDR (Managed Detection and Response) Team. BlueVoyant was a 2022 finalist in the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards for Security MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) of the Year. In addition, the company is a finalist for the Microsoft Canada 2022 Impact Awards in two categories — Healthcare Impact Award and Security Impact Award. BlueVoyant was also named as one of Microsoft's top 150 managed security partners.
In May, BlueVoyant announced that the company was a key design partner for Microsoft's three new security services, including Microsoft Security Experts for hunting, a proactive threat hunting expert service; Microsoft Security Experts for XDR, a new hunting service that extends beyond endpoint hunting; and Microsoft Enterprise Security Services for customers looking for more tailored, hands-on help with security posture management, modernization and proactive hunting.

BeyondTrust | September 19, 2022
BeyondTrust, the leader in intelligent identity and access security, announced today a new strategic partnership with NCS Group, a leading technology services firm that provides services and solutions in consulting, digital, technology, cybersecurity and more. A strong player in identity security, NCS will be using the technology provided by BeyondTrust to offer companies best practice solutions in Privileged Access Management (PAM), a core component of enabling Zero Trust security.
Organisations today are evolving as a result of digital transformation, an accelerating shift to cloud, and an expanded remote workforce. However, these changes are also creating an increase in vulnerable endpoints and remote access, as well as a large number of digital identities that pose a significant cybersecurity risk if left unmanaged and unsecured. According to Gartner, unauthorised privileged access is now the primary method that threat attackers use to infiltrate an organisation's systems and network.
"From the rise of ransomware to an increased focus on digital transformation and Zero Trust strategies, it is a critical time for organisations to be equipped with solutions that can secure identities, safeguard access for remote employees, and strengthen endpoint security across hybrid environments. "Through this partnership, BeyondTrust and NCS will enable organisations in Asia Pacific with our Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions to address these cybersecurity challenges."
Ben Wong, Director of Channel and Alliance for Asia Pacific & Japan at BeyondTrust
"When organisations think of access management, they may only think of traditional password management – and that should not be the case. There is an urgent need for organisations to implement more advanced endpoint security and access management solutions and many are still playing catch up in this area," said Mr. Wong. "This partnership with NCS enables us to provide tailored PAM solutions to customers across a wide range of industries from government to the commercial sectors. Combining the skills and experience of NCS with BeyondTrust's leading portfolio of PAM solutions will help their customers defend against the evolving threat landscape."
BeyondTrust is a leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM for the fourth year running, with a comprehensive PAM portfolio that enables identity and access security that is monitored, managed, secured, and just-in-time, and includes these solutions::
Privileged Password Management
Secure Remote Access
