Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand has signed on as a LogRhythm managed security services partner, with LogRhythm's security intelligence platform selected for Fujitsu's recently launched security operations centre in Sydney.

LogRhythm says its managed security service provider program will allow Fujitsu to expand and accelerate its delivery of compliance automation and assurance, and reduce clients' implementation costs and management overheads.

Bill Taylor, LogRhythm Asia Pacific vice president, says given the vendor's channel-only sales model in Australia and New Zealand, the signing of a significant partner of Fujitsu's expertise is ‘pivotal' to LogRhythm's success in expanding its reach into enterprise customers across all sectors in ANZ.

“The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, so it is now a matter of when, not if, a compromise or breach will occur,” Taylor says.

“We see a very natural fit between LogRhythm and Fujitsu and are delighted by this latest recognition of our platform's out-of-the-box capabilities.

LogRhythm says key to the partnership is its best of breed technology for advanced security analytics that provides rapid detection and resonse to advanced threats.

LogRhythm's multi-tenancy architecture and mature MSSP program were important differentiators for Fujitsu, the vendor says.

The deal extends an established relationship between the two companies in other parts of the world.
