The partnership enables customers to assess their IT cyber risks, outsource 24/7 security operations, and react immediately when a cyber-attack happens – protecting their businesses from crippling IT disruptions.
DALLAS, TX – March 8, 2022 – Most cyberattacks are crimes of opportunity, randomly seeking to exploit weak IT environments—and they are on the rise potentially crippling the operations of small businesses and mid-market enterprises when they occur. Gradient Cyber, a leading provider of Security Operations as a Service (SOCaaS) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) services, today announced a strategic business partnership with Blue Team Alpha. The partnership brings together Gradient Cyber’s 24/7 SOCaaS capabilities with Blue Team Alpha’s cybersecurity rescue and protection services allowing Blue Team Alpha to provide turnkey assessments, 24/7 security operations monitoring, and cyber-attack rescue services to protect customers before, during, and after any cyber-event.
With the combined solutions portfolio, Blue Team Alpha becomes a cybersecurity partner protecting customers’ mission-critical business operations with an Elite Cybersecurity Force™ that can either be ‘on the job with hands on keyboards within an hour’, or ‘on the job 24/7’ to reduce or eliminate unplanned operational downtime.
“Twenty-four by seven [24/7] security operations with Extended Detection and Response [XDR] capabilities are mission-critical for small businesses and mid-market enterprises today, especially given the complete reliance most of these companies have on their digital communications infrastructure,” stated Steve Chappell, Chief Executive Officer, Gradient Cyber. “Cybersecurity is a twenty-four by seven [24/7] job, and our partnership with Blue Team Alpha positions them as a full-service cybersecurity solutions provider for their customer base.”
"Gradient Cyber completes Blue Team Alpha's full spectrum view of our client’s environment during Incident Response engagements and increases our endpoint visibility with user-based analytics,” said Jeff Wheat, Chief Information Security Officer, Blue Team Alpha. “Additionally, the Gradient Cyber platform enhances our network level view of threat actors’ traversal in our client's environments during the engagement. This capability provides us with the ability to rapidly find, fix, and finish the threat actor in the customer’s environment and bring them back to business continuity quickly, saving them both time and money."
Gradient Cyber offers reseller and MSSP programs that provide partners with a competitive monthly residual compensation structure, along with product training, joint business plan mapping, collaborative marketing efforts, and comprehensive pre- and post-sales support.
