Dutch MSP leverages Acronis MDR to provide 24/7 security expertise and meet evolving compliance demands
SIX ICT, a Dutch MSP founded in 2003, delivers information and communications technology (ICT) services ranging from cloud infrastructure to security and data protection. With cyberthreats increasing in sophistication, SIX ICT needed a way to deliver advanced, always-on security, detection and response without building an in-house security operations center (SOC). With Acronis MDR by the Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU), SIX ICT gained access to enterprise-grade security expertise and 24/7 monitoring while maintaining operational focus.
KEY CHALLENGES:
- Need for absolute confidence that Limited internal resources made it impossible to staff and operate a 24/7 security operations center.
- Sophisticated threats required deeper visibility across endpoints, email and Microsoft 365 environments.
- Growing regulatory and cyber insurance requirements demanded continuous monitoring and rapid incident response.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
- 24/7 monitoring and incident response backed by experienced security analysts.
- A unified security approach with visibility across endpoints, email and cloud environments.
- A scalable, cost-effective solution that enables enterprise-grade security without increasing overhead.
THE SOLUTION
SIX ICT added Acronis MDR to their existing Acronis stack, which natively integrates with EDR / XDR, patch management and Microsoft 365 security. Acronis MDR provides continuous monitoring, threat detection and response, backed by a team of experienced security analysts.
THE IMPACT
- Delivered 24/7 enterprise-grade security monitoring without the need for in-house SOC investment.
- Reduced operational burden, allowing the team to focus on client success and business growth.
- Enabled clients to meet compliance requirements such as NIS2 and qualify for cyber insurance.
We were really impressed by the technical knowledge of the MDR team, the way they investigate incidents, how thoroughly they work and how they communicate. It shows the seniority of the experts protecting our systems.
