Binary Defense and Aon Launch New Collaboration to Enhance Cyber Resilience and Risk Management
14 May 2024 - 9:09PM
Business Wire
Binary Defense, the trusted Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
and enterprise defense provider, today announced a collaboration
with Aon, a leading global professional services firm, to serve as
Aon’s exclusive MDR provider for small and medium-sized
enterprises.
Binary Defense's cutting-edge MDR solution provides several
critical advantages, including leveraging existing technology and
security investments, advanced detection strategy, vast threat
intelligence library, robust counterintelligence, threat hunting
operations, collective defense and highly tailored solutions based
on customers' individual security needs. Its MDR services have been
recognized in several analyst reports, including a five-time
Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Managed
Detection and Response Services report and a "Strong Performer" in
The Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection and Response, Q2 2023
report. Unlike most providers, which think like defenders, Binary
Defense uses the attacker's perspective to guide its security
strategy, providing customers with cutting-edge early detection
capabilities.
Aon, offering the industry-leading Stroz Friedberg global
Incident Response services and named a Leader in the Forrester
Wave™ for Cybersecurity Incident Response Services, combines
decades of cyber risk management insights with its deep
cybersecurity consulting experience to enable data-driven decision
making when collaborating with clients to better identify and
holistically manage cyber risk. Aon’s 2023 Cyber Resilience Report
shows that nearly half of all companies (47 percent) have not
segregated their end-of-life software from application systems,
potentially increasing their vulnerability to cyber threats.
Further compounding this issue, 40 percent of companies lack
necessary SOC controls, intensifying their exposure to insider
risk. Aon recognizes the importance of implementing robust
cybersecurity measures, including appropriate security monitoring
capabilities, to create a holistic ecosystem to help support
clients from risk identification to remediation.
“Clients continue to face a dynamically changing cyber threat
landscape and managing cyber risks appropriately is becoming
increasingly more complex and costly. As a result, organizations
are endeavoring to deploy their cyber security budgets more
efficiently across their business,” said David Yaches, Global Chief
Executive Officer, Cyber Solutions Consulting, Aon. “This
collaboration enables clients to take a more holistic approach to
cyber risk management by combining managed detection and response
with Aon’s incident response capabilities. Clients benefit from
faster visibility into potential threats, improved time to
recovery, and greater data-driven insights to effectively remediate
vulnerabilities to reduce their risk of serious incidents and
mitigate financial impacts to the business.”
“This joint collaboration empowers customers by delivering
robust defenses against cyber threats. With our combined expertise,
we are dramatically reducing the risk of costly and disruptive
cyber-attacks and setting new standards for customers that will
significantly improve their overall cybersecurity readiness and
posture,” said Bob Meindl, Chief Executive Officer, Binary Defense.
“This emphasizes our commitment to making the world a safer place
by enabling clients to thrive through improved cyber defenses.”
The collaboration can significantly enhance customer security
and improve cyber resilience by providing the visibility clients
require to deliver on their monitoring outcomes through Binary
Defense’s robust MDR offering which combines an advanced threat
analyst team (24x7 SOC) with a unique Open Extended Detection and
Response (XDR) strategy that monitors all leading security controls
to deliver high-speed, high-fidelity threat detections. The
combined effect with Aon’s Digital Forensics Incident Response,
Investigations and Risk Transfer services, enables customers to
better analyze and respond to threats before they become
large-scale incidents, leverage their existing technology stacks
and current investments to respond to incidents quickly and
effectively, and reduce risk exposure by more closely identifying
insurance coverage gaps during renewals.
