isruptive distributor Spire Solutions has partnered with
CyberSponse to enable organisations in the Middle East to
adopt a holistic automation and orchestration platform to protect
their most valuable assets, drive operational efficiencies and evolve
against cyberthreats through the integration of people, processes
and technology components of a security operations centre.
“Being the first and only patented platform to combine security
orchestration, incident management and interactive investigation
tools gives CyberSponse a competitive edge over other SOAR
technologies. Our consistent efforts to focus on helping customers
in region will only be strengthened by this partnership,” said Avinash

In its Innovation Insight for Security Orchestration, Automation
and Response report published in November last year, Gartner
forecasts that by the end of 2020, 15% of organisations with a
security team larger than five people will use SOAR tools, up from
an estimated 1% in 2017. Larry Johnson, CEO of CyberSponse, said:
“Security automation around orchestrated incident response will be a
new standard for organisations in the coming years. We believe that
security automation technology, when done right, can revolutionise
an enterprise’s cybersecurity posture.”
