Fortra Achieves the AWS Security Incident Response Specialization

Posted on December 5, 2024

MINNEAPOLIS – Fortra, a global cybersecurity software and services provider, announced today that it has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Incident Response Specialization. This Specialization recognizes that Fortra is validated for providing a streamlined incident response solution, backed by AWS security response experts through AWS Security Incident Response. Fortra provides comprehensive threat protection and expert security services through Fortra XDR (extended detection and response) and Fortra’s Alert Logic MDR (managed detection and response). These managed security services have the ability to invoke AWS Security Incident Response as part of an incident response to minimize the chance of a successful cyberattack and maintain compliance with relevant industry regulations.  

AWS customers benefit from working with AWS Security Incident Response Specialization Partners that work in tandem with AWS to mitigate threats to customer environments. Validated partners work with the AWS Customer Incident Response Team (AWS CIRT) to identify, prioritize, and resolve security incidents faster. To achieve this specialization, AWS partners must possess deep AWS experience and deliver an incident response solution leveraging AWS Security Incident Response. 

“As an AWS Level 1 MSSP ISV Competency Partner, Fortra is proud our managed security services have achieved the AWS Security Incident Response Specialization,” said Faraz Siraj, VP, Global Channels and Alliances, Fortra. “Our team will continue to collaborate with AWS to deliver trusted, customer-centric security capabilities that help organizations detect and respond to complex cyber threats.” 

Achieving the AWS Security Incident Response Specialization differentiates Fortra as an AWS Partner that has demonstrated incident response capabilities with a solution that integrates with AWS Security Incident Response. Customers can now leverage AWS and validated incident response partners to resolve incidents faster, using a streamlined incident response communications platform.  

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, the AWS Specialization Program helps customers identify AWS partners with deep technical knowledge, specialized experience, and proven success. AWS Specialization Partners are validated against a high technical bar to drive innovation and greater business value.
