1Password Privileged Access was named an Honorable Mention in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management.

Keeper Security has been recognized in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM), the Gartner evaluation of vendors in the PAM market. Gartner also included Keeper Security in its companion report, Critical Capabilities for Privileged Access Management, which assesses vendors against specific PAM use cases and capabilities.

Chris Kissel, Vice President of IDC Security & Trust, just drew a line in the sand for the AI SOC category with one simple sentence: “Vendors that can show their agents reason transparently, act within defined guardrails, and improve with each investigation will define this category. The rest will be measured against them.” We couldn’t agree more.

Some cyber incidents leave no margin for error, whether that's an attack that interrupts energy, water, or financial services, or a breach that triggers reporting obligations in several jurisdictions within hours. The UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) created the Enhanced Level of its Cyber Incident Response (CIR) scheme for incidents like these. It recognizes providers that meet rigorous standards for high-quality incident response, at the highest level of risk.

Every MSP has heard the question in some form: how do you know this actually works? For most security products, the honest answer is a mix of vendor documentation, analyst reports, and your own experience. All useful, but none of it is a verdict from someone with no stake in the result. Spain’s public sector works differently. When government agencies there buy security products, they look to CPSTIC, a catalog run by Spain’s National Cryptologic Centre (CCN).

Three LevelBlue security experts put their investigative skills to the test in the SentinelOne Threat Hunting competition, with Jodie McDonald earning the top spot in EMEA and advancing to the Grand Final at OneCon. Threat hunting requires more than knowing your way around a security platform. It takes curiosity, analytical thinking, and the discipline to follow the evidence, even when it leads somewhere unexpected.

Security teams face a demanding balancing act: keeping pace with evolving threats, managing complex environments, and demonstrating how their investments reduce risk. At LevelBlue, helping organizations meet those challenges is central to our work. That commitment is reflected in Frost & Sullivan’s recognition of LevelBlue as its 2026 Global Company of the Year in Managed Security Services.

Acronis is expanding the MDR service with capabilities that make this expertise easier to deliver and help partners address more risks.
