SYDNEY, 29 January 2024 – Orro, Australia’s leading platform-enabled secure network and digital infrastructure provider, has bolstered its cybersecurity offering by adding additional capability for small to medium sized businesses.  The company today announced an Extended Detection and Response (XDR) service, powered by SentinelOne (NYSE:S), a global leader in AI-powered security, designed to help small and medium sized businesses enhance their cyber resilience and drive regulatory compliance.

Cybersecurity is a critical concern for SMBs, as they are often more vulnerable to cyber threats than larger enterprises. The new Orro XDR service provides SMBs with continuous monitoring of end-user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats such as ransomware and malware. As part of the service Orro will provide small and medium sized businesses with access to SentinelOne’s Singularity XDR, a market-leading, AI-powered autonomous security solution along with Orro’s SOC capabilities, including 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and handling of alerts as an alternative to its existing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. The combination will empower organizations to gain end-to-end visibility to enhance protection and response across the enterprise

The Albanese governments ‘’six shields’’ approach to our national cyber strategy calls for Education, Safe technology, Threat Sharing & Blocking, Protection of Critical Infrastructure, Sovereign Capability & Skills and Coordinated global action. The collaboration with SentinelOne and Orro is designed to address these six pillars.

SentinelOne XDR is a unified solution that combines endpoint protection, cloud security, identity threat detection and response and data ingestion with analytics in a single console using a native back end and the industry’s most performant security data lake. It is also the first XDR solution in the local market that offers complete data localisation and sovereignty, with both IRAP accreditation and a Sydney AWS Point-of-Presence (PoP) that is a completely isolated cluster, air gapped from other SentinelOne locations, ensuring no data leaves Australian shores, in compliance and alignment with the Australian Government’s cyber security regulations, and addressing key cybersecurity concerns on a national level.

Daniel Greengarten, CEO at Orro, commented: “As we continue to see escalating cyber threats, having a sovereign capability to protect our customers’ organisations is significant. Through our partnership with SentinelOne, our XDR solution responds directly to the needs of small and medium businesses, which are more exposed to cyber risks than ever, while addressing key national cyber security concerns as outlined in the recent ASD Cyber Threat Report.

Jason Duerden, Regional A/NZ Director from SentinelOne commented: “As cyberattacks become more widespread and complex, it is imperative for organisations to have access to advanced, intelligence-based solutions that enable them to protect their systems and information. Singularity XDR is a unique solution that organisations of all sizes can use to detect, respond to and remediate threats in a real-time, compliant way and we are pleased to be teaming with Orro to deliver it to small and medium sized business across Australia and help them secure tomorrow, today.”
