Arrow Electronics and ON2IT Announce Managed Security Platform for SOC-as-a-Service

Arrow Electronics and ON2IT, a provider of security monitoring and remediation capabilities, have teamed on a new security operations center as-a-service offering.

Built on Palo Alto Networks technology, the companies promise a deep skillset of security operations center analysts, best-in-breed technology, and the flexibility of a managed service.

ON2IT combines its automation and orchestration platform with a team of security analysts to respond to events. The company claims more than a decade of experience in helping its worldwide customers comply with growing regulatory requirements, such as Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

“Teaming with ON2IT gives customers the ability to provide advanced security operations without the massive investment and training of an ‘in-house’ security operations center,” said Jesper Trolle, president of Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business in North America. “Our channel partners can now help provide their customers a better overall security posture, reducing risk, monitoring for threats, and having the knowledge that they have expert resources to assist them.”

 “ON2IT has over 14 years of delivering managed security services and, our North American go-to-market approach is uniquely developed to enable the Arrow and the Palo Alto Networks channel to execute on delivery of these important client services,” said Ron Myers, chief revenue officer of ON2IT and former senior vice president of global channels for Palo Alto Networks.
