ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions, a CSPi business has launched its AZT PROTECT™ solution in Australia via a partnership with Logi-Tech, a leading local managed security service provider (MSSP). Industry sources added that by inducting the AZT PROTECT into its portfolio, Logi-Tech can offer an innovative service for securing critical applications in operational technology (OT) environments such as manufacturing, mining, and government.

Industry sources also added that Logi-Tech’s new managed Security Operations Center (SOC) service is based on a combination of the ARIA Advanced Detection Response (ADR) AI-powered SIEM solution and AZT PROTECT, providing a unique managed service for both IT and OT customers in South Australia via its SOC 2-compliant data center. These services are offered 24/7 by the Logi-Tech SOC team – aided by ARIA SOC analysts – to provide round-the-clock security assurance and the expertise to quickly resolve security incidents.

Industry sources further added that Offering the AZT PROTECT managed service will enable Logi-Tech to meet demand in response to recent Australian legislation aimed at protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. Australia’s Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program, which came into force in February 2023, requires the firms to undertake new responsibilities to protect their critical assets, including the mandatory reporting of cyber incidents, and ensure data sovereignty.

“Companies across Australia that operate critical infrastructure must ensure they can respond to the rising threat of cybercrime and comply with new regulations – but they often lack the skills and resources to do so,” stated Peter Moore, Managing Director of Logi-Tech. “The ARIA solution was therefore the perfect addition to our cybersecurity portfolio, allowing us to address high-value customers across multiple vertical industries with a best-in-class solution.”

“Service providers are looking for a means to quickly roll out a highly effective service to protect critical infrastructure to ensure resilience and regulatory compliance,” stated Gary Southwell, Vice President and General Manager, ARIA Cybersecurity. “Partners such as Logi-Tech are able to easily serve this rapidly expanding market opportunity by offering a critical infrastructure protection service based on AZT PROTECT, which can be deployed in minutes and guards against even the most sophisticated supply chain and nation-state attacks.”

Industry sources further confirmed that Logi-Techs onboarding of the ADR and AZT PROTECT in a matter of hours with minimal training permits it to get up and running with its latest managed SOC offering without incurring significant cost or delay. As all of the data is kept within the SOC 2 data center, Logi-Tech ensures that no sensitive information is sent outside of the country, meeting data sovereignty requirements.

Data securing has become the need of the hour and as per the lead industry sources in the Australian Cyber Security Center, critical sectors such as government, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and utilities were among the top ten sectors targeted by cybercriminals in 2021/22. One high-profile recent attack involved telecoms company Optus, which suffered a data breach affecting almost 10 million customers, representing about 40 percent of the Australian population.
