Munich, December 1st, 2022 – Skaylink today announced it has achieved Microsoft verified Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) solution status. By achieving this status, Skaylink has proven their robust MXDR services including a Security Operation Center (SOC) with 24/7/365 proactive hunting, monitoring, and response capabilities all built on tight integrations with the Microsoft Security platform. This solution combines expert-trained technology with human-led services and has been verified by Microsoft engineers.

We greatly relieve our customers’ IT staff in this approach,” André Dube, Head of the Cyber Security Center at Skaylink, explained.

“With malicious attacks on the rise, we understand security is front and center for our customers. That is why I am excited to congratulate Skaylink on achieving Microsoft Verified: Managed Extended Detection and Response solution status.
