High Wire : E-channel News Interview High Wire Networks CRO Stephan Tallent

Overwatch by High Wire Networks is here to help improve operational outcomes, better operationalize cybersecurity technologies deployed in all customer environments. There's rarely a situation where partners aren't inundated with various technologies and know how to properly use them in their environments. Overwatch provides the security expertise, 24/7 capability to watch those things, and a composable security strategy to fill gaps in security delivery for their customers.

Cybersecurity Challenges in 2023:

-Lack of security expertise to operationalize security technology property within customer environments
-Requirement for SOC management and operations to customers is a barrier to MSP
-Negative employment rate, 2.5 million unfilled positions, dearth in cybersecurity talent + hard to retain talent
-MSPs have been told that technology should handle the problem when technologies need to be operationalized properly

MSPs can't stand up a 24/7 SOC. Overwatch allows them to offer the best security without having to do it all by themselves. We want to expand partner community and platform service capabilities. Security is not stagnant, MXDR is the next iteration of security services to keep customers.
MDR, EDR is not enough. Their customers require better security, with higher efficacy security services.

"It doesn't haven't to be as hard as it seems. Yes, it is complex situation. There is a way to better operationalize your customers' security without rip and replace. There is a way to go out there to capitalize and grow business where your strengths are at and still be able to offer a great deal of capabilities around security to your customer base."
