Consid and NTT Security Enter into a Strategic Partnership

Modern cybersecurity requires more than technology. It requires people, processes, and the ability to quickly understand what is actually happening when something deviates from the norm.

SamurAI MDR combines NTT Security’s security experts and global threat intelligence with a platform for continuous monitoring and analysis.

The service includes, among other things:

• 24/7 monitoring and detection
• Analysis and investigation of security events
• Proactive threat hunting
• Support in responding to detected security incidents
• Access to the SamurAI platform for visibility and follow-up

This gives organizations continuous security capabilities that complement their existing investments and security solutions.

For Consid, it has been important to find a partner that combines international capabilities with a strong local presence.

NTT Security’s SOC operations for the service are delivered from Sweden. The service is provided by experienced and security-cleared security specialists, contributing to the high level of security, control, and trust that many organizations demand. At the same time, SamurAI benefits from NTT’s global security organization, threat intelligence, and extensive experience in analyzing threats and attacks from around the world.

This creates a combination that we see great value in: global security capabilities – delivered from Sweden.

For organizations with high demands for security, control, and continuity, this delivery model can be an important factor when choosing a security partner.

Implementing a SOC service should not mean that an organization has to start from scratch.

SamurAI MDR is designed to integrate with existing security investments and collect information from different parts of the IT environment. This makes it possible to gain better visibility across, for example, networks, cloud environments, endpoints, and even OT environments.

The goal is not more security tools.

The goal is a stronger ability to detect, understand, and respond to the threats that can actually impact the business.

For many organizations, the challenge today is not a lack of security tools. The challenge is having the right expertise and capacity to monitor them, analyze the information, and respond when something happens – 24 hours a day.

That’s where Consid and NTT Security complement each other.

NTT Security provides SamurAI MDR, SOC capabilities, and global threat intelligence. Consid is responsible for delivery to the customer and can combine the service with our broader expertise in cybersecurity and information security.

This means that the SOC does not have to be an isolated technical service, but can instead become an integral part of the organization’s long-term security strategy.

NIS2 and other regulatory requirements have also made issues such as monitoring, incident response, risk management, and business continuity increasingly important for executives and business leaders.

However, the need to detect and respond to cyber threats extends far beyond organizations directly subject to specific regulations.

Today’s digital organizations depend on critical systems and information being available and protected. The ability to detect and respond to an attack is therefore fundamentally a matter of organizational resilience.

The partnership with NTT Security is part of Consid’s continued investment in cybersecurity.

By combining Consid’s close customer relationships and broad security expertise with NTT Security’s specialized SOC capabilities and SamurAI MDR, we can provide a comprehensive security offering for both Swedish and international organizations.
