Exalens has announced a partnership with Communicate Technology, an IT, telecoms, and cybersecurity provider, which aims to transform cybersecurity in the industrial sector by integrating Exalens’ advanced AI-powered XDR platform with Communicate’s extensive expertise as a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). The collaboration is set to offer enhanced real-time threat detection and rapid response capabilities, ensuring robust protection for operational technology and IIoT environments.

The partnership between Exalens and Communicate Technology marks a significant advancement in cybersecurity for the industrial sector. Exalens brings its ‘state-of-the-art’ Cyber-Physical AI technology, offering real-time monitoring and anomaly detection in OT and IIoT environments. The move complements Communicate’s comprehensive managed security services, providing businesses with an integrated, end-to-end security solution from their UK-based team of experts within their Security Operations Centre (SOC).

Together, they aim to address the unique challenges faced by industries in safeguarding their operational technologies. The collaboration will focus on enhancing threat detection, reducing response times, and offering tailored security solutions, thereby fortifying the digital defenses of their clients in an increasingly interconnected and automated industrial landscape.

“We are thrilled to partner with Communicate Technology, a company that shares our vision for advanced industrial cybersecurity,” Ryan Heartfield, CEO of Exalens, said in a media statement. “This partnership enables us to integrate our XDR platform’s capabilities with Communicate’s robust managed security services, creating a powerful shield against cyber threats in the OT and IIoT environments.”

Together, “we are setting a new standard for industrial cybersecurity, ensuring our clients can operate with confidence in an industrial ecosystem that continues to modernise its operations,” Heartfield added.

Last month, Exalens announced that Joe Weiss has joined the company’s advisory board. He brings to Exalens an ‘unparalleled’ depth of expertise and experience. At the time, the company warmly welcomed Weiss to the Exalens team and look forward to a future where their collaboration will bring about transformative advancements in the realm of cyber-physical security,
