BKD Cyber Teams Up with High Wire Networks to Offer New Service
NATIONAL OFFICE – BKD Cyber has teamed up with High Wire Networks, a leading global technical field, professional and cybersecurity services company, to offer their flagship Overwatch 24/7 managed security services to BKD’s clients.
“The creativity of cybercriminals means an ever-changing onslaught of cyberattacks that make cybersecurity an ongoing exercise in risk management. What’s needed is a better detection strategy that combines the right mix of people, processes and an integrated security platform,” said BKD Cyber Director Cy Sturdivant, CISA®.
Overwatch 24/7 gives BKD’s clients Extended Detection & Response (XDR) technology that’s managed around the clock by security analysts in the Overwatch Security Operations Center (SOC) provided by High Wire Networks to help effectively cut through the noise of countless alerts and drill down on real threats as they occur.
“The Overwatch XDR technology brings a sophisticated yet practical approach to threat detection and response. It has the ability to seamlessly integrate advanced features like artificial intelligence and machine learning to pull data from a variety of security solutions, regardless of a client’s current security solutions,” said Sturdivant. “This, along with a strong SOC team, helps give our clients both the flexibility and expertise they need to detect a threat before it leads to an incident or breach, helping keep them secure and in compliance with regulatory agencies. Offering the Overwatch 24/7 managed security services is a key strategic move to help round out our current cybersecurity service offerings.”
“Overwatch 24/7 expands BKD Cyber’s extensive advisory services to include managed security,” said David Barton, CTO for High Wire Networks. “Together, we’re able to provide BKD Cyber’s customers with end-to-end cybersecurity solutions—from planning to compliance to remediation.”
BKD Cyber offers a range of cybersecurity services, including advisory and training services, proactive control testing and security assessments, regulatory and privacy compliance and incident preparation/response planning.
