As we are all aware, Security is now top of mind for all organisations, and Cyber Security is an ever-evolving disrupter to all businesses if an attack were to take place. At MJ Flood Technology, we have spent the last 12 months evaluating how cyber services can be integrated with our current managed service offering.

Today, we are proud to announce our partnership with SKOUT, a leading cyber security service provider, offering visibility via their 24x7x365 Security Operations Centre. This allows you to reduce threat detection anomalies to minutes and remediating issues, to ensure the integrity of your network and data. SKOUT is a globally recognized cybersecurity company that partners with select IT providers to deliver their security services. The partnership is focused on three new areas of cybersecurity: ransomware, visibility, and compliance.

“We’ve been focused on protecting small and medium sized businesses since day one. Every company should be able to get protected from cybercrime,” said Aidan Kehoe, Founder and CEO of SKOUT Cybersecurity. “Our new partnership with MJ Flood Technology will allow us to protect more businesses and protect workers.”

The introduction of these expanded security services are a key component of MJ Flood Technology’s strategic plan, allowing us to focus on customer experience with a consolidated IT and cybersecurity practice.
