Centroid Systems and Stellar Cyber Forge Strategic Partnership to Deliver Advanced Managed Security Services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
In a landmark move set to redefine cloud security, Stellar Cyber, a renowned provider of cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, and Centroid Systems, LLC (“Centroid”), a leader in cloud services and technology solutions, have announced a strategic partnership. Together, they aim to deliver advanced Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offerings powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This collaboration addresses the growing demand for secure and scalable cloud environments while empowering organizations to modernize their operations with enhanced protection.
Addressing the Rising Need for Secure Cloud Solutions
As businesses increasingly migrate workloads to the cloud, ensuring robust security has become a top priority. The complexity of cloud environments often leaves organizations vulnerable to cyber threats, making it critical to adopt comprehensive security measures. Centroid, with its deep expertise in Oracle enterprise workload consulting and managed services, has been instrumental in helping companies transition smoothly to OCI. Its proven track record positions it as an ideal partner for delivering secure cloud solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of Oracle customers.
By integrating Stellar Cyber’s innovative security platform into its MSSP offerings, Centroid is taking a significant step forward in addressing these challenges. The result is a unified, AI-driven security solution that provides unparalleled visibility, detection, and response capabilities—all running seamlessly on OCI.
Empowering Security with Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR Platform
At the heart of this partnership lies Stellar Cyber’s award-winning Open XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform, which consolidates multiple security functions into one cohesive solution. These include:
- Next-Generation SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)
- Network Detection and Response (NDR)
- Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP)
- Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
- Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)
- User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)
This integrated approach eliminates silos between different security tools, enabling security teams to gain full visibility across IT, OT, and security environments. With real-time insights into potential threats, organizations can detect and respond to incidents faster than ever before.
OCI serves as the backbone of the Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform, providing essential services such as Oracle Cloud Guard and high-performance computing resources. This foundation ensures that customers benefit from the scalability, reliability, and flexibility of OCI while leveraging Stellar Cyber’s advanced threat detection and response capabilities.
Key Features of the Enhanced MSSP Offering
The new MSSP service from Centroid, powered by Stellar Cyber’s platform, introduces several game-changing features designed to bolster security and streamline operations:
- Unified Security Operations: By consolidating disparate security tools into a single platform, the solution reduces complexity and enhances operational efficiency. Security teams no longer need to juggle multiple interfaces or systems, allowing them to focus on proactive defense strategies.
- AI-Driven Threat Detection: Leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, the platform identifies anomalies and potential threats in real time. This minimizes the risk of undetected breaches and ensures rapid incident response.
- Turnkey Integration with OCI Native Security: A custom-built OCI connector integrates data from key Oracle services like Oracle Cloud Guard, Oracle Data Safe, OCI Network Firewall, OCI Web Application Firewall (WAF), and VCN Flow Logs. This seamless integration ensures end-to-end visibility and control over OCI environments.
- Automated Response Mechanisms: Predefined playbooks enable swift action against identified threats, reducing the window of vulnerability. Automation not only accelerates response times but also frees up valuable human resources for more strategic tasks.
A Partnership Built on Expertise and Innovation
Centroid’s longstanding relationship with Oracle underscores its commitment to delivering exceptional cloud solutions. As a strategic Cloud Managed Service Provider, Centroid has consistently demonstrated its ability to help enterprises harness the power of OCI. This partnership with Stellar Cyber further solidifies its position as a leader in secure cloud transformation.
“Stellar Cyber has worked closely with OCI to reduce risk and simplify security operations, making them turnkey and easy to implement,” said Andrew Homer, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Stellar Cyber. “Now, collaborating with Centroid to launch a managed service practice, we’re delivering end-to-end security solutions for Oracle customers.”
Echoing this sentiment, Scott Whitley, Chief Revenue Officer at Centroid, stated, “Our mission has always been to empower enterprises through transformational services that drive cloud success. By integrating Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform into our MSSP offerings, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing secure, efficient, and innovative solutions tailored to our clients’ unique needs.”
Industry Endorsement and Future Outlook
The partnership has garnered support from Oracle itself, highlighting the strength of its ecosystem in driving innovation and customer success. David Hicks, Vice President of Worldwide ISV Cloud and Business Development at Oracle, remarked, “We are delighted to see our partners join forces to deliver an integrated managed security solution for Oracle customers. This collaboration between Stellar Cyber and Centroid exemplifies how our partnership ecosystem drives innovation, enhances service delivery, and reduces cyber risk to accelerate customer success.”
