In a scenario where cyberattacks are increasingly frequent and sophisticated, innovation in cybersecurity is no longer an option – it is now a strategic necessity. As a global Cisco partner, Logicalis is taking the lead with the worldwide launch of XDR as a Service, a solution that redefines the way organisations detect, correlate and respond to digital threats. This vision was shared by Pedro Morgado, Managed Services Sales Lead at Logicalis, in an interview where he highlighted the importance of advanced and integrated solutions to face today's digital security challenges.

Global leadership and strategic partnership with Cisco

Logicalis reinforces its prominent position as a Cisco technology partner, with whom it maintains a solid and ongoing collaboration. This joint launch of the Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution strengthens this alliance, offering companies a modern and automated approach to cybersecurity, focused on prevention, detection and rapid response to incidents.

Portugal as a hub of excellence in Managed Services

Portugal plays a strategic role in this global operation. From our Global Security Operations Centre (SOC), we provide 24/7 cybersecurity services to companies around the world. This technical capacity, combined with the know-how of our teams, positions Portugal as a global centre of competences within Logicalis.

Flexible service models adapted to the reality of customers

With licensing available in the Essentials and Advantage models, the Cisco XDR solution can be consumed as a fully managed service (MXDR) or acquired for internal management. This flexibility allows organisations to choose the model that best suits their digital maturity and business objectives, with options based on OPEX.

Technological integration and unified vision

Our XDR as a Service is not limited to Cisco technology. We are committed to continuous integration with other market platforms, such as Splunk, among others, providing a holistic view of security environments. This approach increases the effectiveness of incident management and the ability of teams to anticipate.

A differentiating offer in the market

Combining cutting-edge technology, specialised services and global reach, Logicalis provides a solution that not only responds to current cybersecurity challenges, but also anticipates those of the future. This is the value proposition that we offer to our customers: a technology partner that delivers results, with security, trust and a vision for the future.
