Sydney, October 19 – ESET is pleased to announce the launch of a new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service in partnership with Chillisoft. Suitable for businesses of all sizes, the new service offers the power of ESET’s world leading Endpoint Protection and Response (EDR) platform with Chillisoft’s 24/7 support and expertise. The MDR service provides customers with remotely delivered modern security operation centre capabilities to rapidly detect, analyse, investigate and actively respond to threats.
ESET Australia Country Manager Kelly Johnson says the new service is ideally suited to businesses who lack the internal resources to deal with the constantly evolving threat landscape. “To deal with the modern threat landscape businesses are increasingly making security choices based not just on products but on the service required to create a truly holistic solution. Many companies, particularly in the SMB space, need additional resources with the necessary skills to operate EDR tools alone and need assistance to understand them and fully utilize their potential. The proliferation of endpoint devices connecting to their networks has made their need for an effective out-sourced service that gives them 24/7 protection and expert response even more acute. We’re confident this new MDR service will meet that demand.”
The new service offers businesses deployment and optimisation of advanced proactive and preventative all-around security with award-winning ESET PROTECT solutions and the renowned EDR tool of ESET Enterprise Inspector combined with Chillisoft’s world-class 24/7 cybersecurity services with local based support.
By providing deeper investigation, analysis and validation of threats and taking action to disrupt or contain an attack, the new service gives customers time to perform further investigation and remediation in the form of containment or breach disruption, reducing risk to an organization from increasingly hostile and impactful threats.
Chillisoft CEO Alex Teh says, “With over 23 years of ESET experience, Chillisoft is honoured to be working with ESET Australia in building a channel friendly 24/7 MDR service underpinned by the award-winning ESET EDR product. Having deployed ESET EDR to many sites in ANZ including a number of MSP’s, Chillisoft is confident that this solution is ideally suited to the Australian market.”
Johnson says the service offers ESET’s partners flexibility, scalability, and the ability to take advantage of volume pricing. “Our tier-based pricing which works on the aggregation of all the clients you cover means our partners can increase their profits. The more licenses you sell the better unit price you get. Partners can add seats in real time and with monthly billing we only invoice you for the exact number of seat-days ordered. You pay only for licenses your customers actually utilize without the need for upfront investment.”
Partners can manage licenses easily through the self-service ESET MSP Administrator web-interface, adjusting seats or making other admin changes in seconds, without having to contact ESET. When they need it they have the advantage of premium sales, presales and technical support via the dedicated local ESET and Chillisoft teams.
