Published: 19 September 2024

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Kocho has been awarded Cloud Security Product of the Year – SMEs at the 2024 Cloud Excellence Awards.

Held at the Marriott Grosvenor Square, London, on 18th September 2024, the awards are an annual celebration of cloud security excellence and innovation across the UK.

The award win is a major milestone for the Kocho XDR Rapid Protect service, which provides leading-edge managed security to Microsoft first organisations.

And, given the quality of the other nominees in the category, such as LogRhythm and One Identity, it’s a powerful endorsement of XDR Rapid Protect’s blend of industry leading technology and expertise. A product and service that not only secures critical assets, but offers clients fast, seamless onboarding, and market-leading reporting capabilities.

Managed security that meets modern demands

XDR Rapid Protect resonates strongly with any organisation in need of reliable protection in the face of increasingly volatile and intelligent cyber threats.

Designed to deliver AI-powered threat detection and rapid response, the service provides real-time transparency through our Kocho ClearVue™ reporting dashboard. This industry-leading functionality gives our customers complete visibility of risks and threat trends, alongside expert analysis and advice.

Allowing every client to stay one step ahead.

It’s a service based on the principle of working in partnership with our clients. This means aligning market-leading Microsoft Security tools (like Sentinel and Defender XDR) with proactive communication and flexible contract options. Making it easy for businesses to adjust their security solutions without long-term commitments.

This also means ensuring our clients are protected from day one, thanks to a rapid onboarding process. Allowing organisations to operate without worrying about gaps in their defences.
