Logpoint partners with Swedish MSP Advitum in the name of cybersecurity

The duo aim to level up the cyber defences of Swedish SMEs

Logpoint has teamed up with Swedish MSP Advitum to help organisations in the region achieve security outcomes.

Founded in Kalmar in 2010, Advitum houses dedicated security services, ensuring customers have complete control and the ability to combat cyber threats.

As part of the collaboration, the MSP is creating a log management and security service based on Logpoint to offer log management, threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR), and compliance capabilities.

Incorporating Logpoint security information event management (SIEM) gives Advitum the resources to add more value to customers with a service built around log management, TDIR, and compliance. Advitum can manage the solution locally to increase data protection.

"We work with several critical infrastructure organisations, facing high requirements for visibility and the ability to report IT incidents," said Advitum CEO Markus Persson.

"Currently, small and medium-sized Swedish organisations are struggling to either build a SOC (security operations centre) or buy a SOC or managed detection and response (MDR) service. Combined with regulations and how cybercrime is accelerating, our partnership has a lot of potential to help them address that."

MDR was recently touted as an arm of cybersecurity that is seeing 'explosive' growth by a number of channel security experts, owing to increased and evolving cyber threats, and the global shift towards remote work and digital transformation.

"Logpoint has a flexible solution, working across premises, which means that our customers can have certain parts in the cloud or go with a completely on-prem-based solution," Persson continued.

"In addition, Logpoint is a supplier that can adapt and is very close to its customers and partners, which is crucial for us."

Logpoint claims it is Europe's largest SIEM vendor, offering solutions to collect and analyse security data to help organisations detect, investigate, and respond to cyberattacks faster and comply with NIS2, GDPR, and other data and cybersecurity regulations.

Fredrik Jubran, Logpoint regional manager MSSPs added: "Advitum is a very capable MSP with great customer satisfaction and we're proud to join forces with them to alleviate Swedish organisations' pressing cybersecurity challenges, such as expanding data and cybersecurity regulations and the shortage of qualified experts in the field."
