Ontinue ION Achieves Microsoft Cloud Security Advanced Specialization Certification

Ontinue ION has achieved the Microsoft Cloud Security Advanced Specialization certification, making Ontinue one of 50 partners out of thousands with this designation.

This certification – as well as our prior Microsoft Threat Protection Advanced Specialization certification – is a significant achievement that allows Ontinue to cement our place as a member of Microsoft’s managed security service provider (MSSP) program.

Proven Solutions

The Cloud Security Advanced Specialization certification showcases Ontinue’s technical capabilities and proven experience implementing comprehensive security protection across customers’ Microsoft Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

The Microsoft specialization certification program is designed to help companies like Ontinue differentiate ourselves, demonstrate our expertise, and build stronger connections with customers. It allows those customers to have confidence in selecting the Microsoft partners best suited to complete their digital transformations.

Microsoft 365 E5 Security is the foundation of our ION managed extended detection and response (MXDR) service, and we know how to realize its full potential better than anyone. Built on the Microsoft 365 E5 Security stack, ION unlocks the value of your existing investments. There’s no need to buy another tool, since you’ve already invested in what you need for success. The more Microsoft security capabilities you turn on, the stronger your security posture.

Strong Signal

Deploying, configuring, managing, and tuning your Microsoft tools—and correlating all the signals to identify threats and risk—take specialized resources. Our deep Microsoft expertise alleviates this burden for you. And you can be confident that your tools will map to the realities of your organization’s environment.

This certification is also an example of our deepening relationship with Microsoft. Other notable examples include:

  • Joint customer deals with Chemours, Kemet, CSN, Mikron, and others

  • 2023 Microsoft Innovation Partner of the year  

  • 2022 Microsoft Security Global MSSP of the Year

  • 2022 Microsoft Partner of the Year for Switzerland
