NEC XON has achieved Palo Alto Networks XMDR (Extended Managed Detection and Response) Partner Status in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

“XMDR gives us the ability to execute incident response on behalf of Palo Alto Networks, showcasing a unique partnership capability held by very few companies globally,” says Armand Kruger, head of cybersecurity at NEC XON.

“It’s more than just a status — it’s a validation of our architecture-first approach, our deep technical skills, and our ability to defend customers across hybrid and complex environments.”

The XMDR status provides NEC XON’s Managed Detection & Response (MDR) team with the ability to deliver truly integrated, preventative cyber protection across cloud, network, endpoint, and identity attack surfaces.

“The Palo Alto Networks XMDR designation gives our MDR team the power to help customers actively disrupt cyber adversaries, protect their environments proactively, and ensure long-term business sustainability,” says Ryno Le Roux, NEC XON’s head of cyber operations. “It’s a game-changer in how we deliver cyber resilience at scale.”
