Pax8, a cloud distributor, forms a strategic partnership with Novacoast, a uniquely positioned IT services and solutions company, to offer novaSOC—a comprehensive monitoring and alerting security service that consolidates input from multiple threat intelligence sources to validate indicators of network compromise. The security solution is available today, exclusively through Pax8.

“Hackers are now using new and diverse techniques to launch multiple forms of cyber-attacks, making it more important than ever for MSPs to protect their clients with multi-layered security solutions,” said Ryan Walsh, chief channel officer at Pax8. “novaSOC will help our partners detect security vulnerabilities and suspicious activity. The enterprise-grade security solution enables MSPs to manage customers with high demands for security and uptime—especially in the healthcare and financial industries—while identifying potential weaknesses, improving response times, and optimizing workflows.”

novaSOC provides security monitoring that detects known security vulnerabilities and suspicious activity, instantly offering alerts and reporting to the cloud to enable rapid support and resolution. novaSOC features a multi-tenant portal that provides a single location for security and user management. The portal enables detailed alerting and a reporting dashboard that allows partners to drill down into individual customers. Ensuring the highest level of security, the portal is enhanced through multi-factor authentication, and MSPs can choose their preferred ticket integration option.

“We’ve combined our technology teams—development, security advisory, engineering, and our global SOC network—to bring together this impressive new technology,” said Adam Gray chief technology officer at Novacoast and novaSOC co-architect. “Everything we’ve learned running SOC services for large global enterprise and highly regulated industries helped us build novaSOC, which provides comprehensive, enterprise-grade SOC services, vulnerability management, and threat hunting—empowering MSPs to provide greater security to their end customers, supported by directed security guidance on all our findings.”

“Since we have been trialing novaSOC, the product has alerted us to important vulnerabilities existing in our managed systems,” said Justin Dews, chief information officer at Techvera and a Pax8 partner. “These vulnerabilities may have otherwise gone unnoticed. The service itself is easy to deploy and easy to monitor, we’ve received great customer services, and we are impressed with the quality of the service and the value it provides.”

“We have been using novaSOC since launch, and are impressed with its capabilities and the increased security checks,” said Chad Grahek, owner at Grahek Technology and a Pax8 partner. “Novacoast’s view on security takes into account the issues most of our customers are not thinking about. novaSOC offers our customers a significant amount of security and value, and together, we will continue to re-enforce that message.”
