SINGAPORE, March 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Proficio, one of the fastest growing managed security service providers (MSSP) delivering managed detection and response (MDR), has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan for its incident response and advanced threat intelligence services, and overall vision for the security industry in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

The Movers and Shakers series by Frost & Sullivan showcases forward-thinking companies and leaders throughout the corporate world. Both businesses and individuals are acknowledged for their achievement in celebrating significant milestones, including breakthrough technology, strategic transactions, progressive services and more.

“Proficio is disrupting the managed security market by going beyond the traditional MSSP model, offering a more holistic approach to service delivery that includes best-in-class software and 24x7 security monitoring by seasoned experts,” said Tim McElwee, President and Chairman of Proficio. “With our next-generation MSSP approach, we’re able to provide our APAC customers the most advanced managed detection and response services that until recently were outside the budget of all but the very largest enterprises.”

Since its recent $12 million in venture capital funding led by Kayne Advisors, Proficio has invested in enhancing and expanding its ProSOC services and its Synergy Partner Program. The company increased its presence in European and APAC markets to fill the gap for medium to large-sized enterprises seeking 24X7 security monitoring and alerting. Proficio has plans to expand operations across Australia and Northern Asia later in the year.
