56 “We chose to launch our products with Microsoft due to the wide acceptance of the Microsoft 365 and Exchange platforms. This allows us to reach a customer familiar with Microsoft products, overcoming any sales obstacles. We can also leverage the Azure platform, which allows us to leverage built-in security. When you combine Microsoft, Azure and Secured2, we solve the immediate quantum threat. Secured2 QuantaMorphic data security solution is the only one that is quantum-safe, market-ready, real-worldtested, thoroughly vetted, and backed by industry leaders. We have installed our solution in the financial, healthcare, banking and military/government industries and see significant opportunities.” Daren Klum CEO and Chief Architect, Secured2 Corporation Xavier Mesrobian Vice President Sales and Marketing, Skkynet Cloud Systems “You really don't have to compromise on cybersecurity to access live production data. To build on the protection gained from Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender, it is best to keep all firewall ports closed on your operational technology (OT) assets, and to isolate your OT and IT networks using a network configuration called a demilitarised zone (DMZ). This is easily done with secure tunnelling, which uses Skkynet middleware to send data through DMZs while keeping all inbound firewall ports closed. Working equally well with legacy systems or new installations, Skkynet middleware provides bi-directional, real-time connections between OT and IT. It works seamlessly with DMZs, keeps all inbound firewall ports closed, and uses no virtual private networks.” Scott Barlow VP of Global MSP and Cloud Alliances, Sophos “Today’s organisations need integrated solutions to reduce the risk of cyberthreats while delivering better return on investment. As businesses move to the cloud and embrace hybrid working, IT and cybersecurity staff must ensure this distributed network remains secure. Integrating Sophos Firewall with Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN, Sophos provides customers with unparalleled advanced threat protection to secure applications and network traffic and connects with Microsoft’s scalable global network to deliver secure SD-WAN capabilities. This enables customers to connect workloads hosted in Azure virtual networks and hybrid data centres to other remote offices, backhauling the traffic flow through a global connected Microsoft network to optimise performance, minimise cost and deliver better cybersecurity outcomes.” COV E R S TOR Y
