Securonix, which has now been a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM for six years, has announced a strategic partnership with Shieldient, a next-generation cybersecurity services company founded by industry veteran Khiro Mishra, who has partnered with Securonix at his prior companies. The partnership reinforces the Securonix position as the platform of choice for security operations, empowering next-generation service providers like Shieldient to deliver outcome-based, intelligence-led cybersecurity services built for today’s dynamic threat landscape. Shieldient itself is a next-gen cybersecurity solutions company built on an AI-first, technology-agnostic approach. It is engineered to outpace evolving threats, maximize ROI from existing investments, and strengthen enterprise-wide resilience. Delivered through a global model by experts with deep real-world experience, its tailored and intelligence-led services drive measurable outcomes.
Securonix was chosen based on the strength and maturity of its Unified Defense SIEM, which includes native multi-tenancy with deep RBAC controls, which is ideal for MSSP scalability and secure customer isolation. Other distinguishing features include integrated TDIR with advanced analytics and SOAR for faster detection, 365 days of searchable data delivered through a cloud-native architecture that ensures elastic performance, and an Agentic AI Roadmap with its vision for SOC modernization that resonates with Shieldient’s AI-first philosophy.
“Securonix continues to lead with innovation and execution,” said Khiro Mishra, CEO and Founder of Shieldient. Mishra led security businesses at Dell Services, NTT Data, and NTT Security, and built the MSSP Cybalt from the ground up. “As we build Shieldient as an AI-first cybersecurity company, the Securonix Unified Defense platform provides the intelligence, automation, and adaptability needed to help our clients predict, prevent, and respond faster – with measurable, real-world impact.”
Mishra gave a rather gloomy view of the cybersecurity situation.
“If cybersecurity were ever a game, it would be one without rules,” he said. “Now with AI, even the playing field itself is shifting beneath us. Attackers don’t wait. They don’t play fair. And with AI in their hands, the entry barriers to launching catastrophic cyberattacks have virtually disappeared.”
Mishra stated that as AI accelerates the volume and sophistication of attacks, the industry stands at a turning point, where enterprises are seeking certainty of outcomes and the resilience to thrive, regardless of how the game evolves.
“That’s why we founded Shieldient, to deliver security outcomes enterprises can truly count on,” he said. “Our name reflects our mission. Our name reflects our mission – building a resilient shield that adapts as fast as attackers innovate. Over the past few months, we’ve been quietly building Shieldient, at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI.
“In the days ahead, we’ll share more about the company and the offerings we’re building – designed to deliver what matters most: security outcomes, not promises.”
Securonix and its MSSP capabilities complement Shieldient well. In addition to its platform strengths, Securonix’s MSSP program offers service delivery opportunities to qualified partners, for the customers they serve – an added benefit that supports Shieldient’s growth strategy.
Securonix partners with managed security service providers (MSSPs), Value Added Resellers (VARS), technology partners, systems integrators, and technology services distributor (TSD) Solution Providers, MSSPs, System Integrators, and Software Vendors who share a passion for solving complex cybersecurity challenges and keeping our mutual client’s critical data infrastructure safe.
“We are honored that Khiro has once again placed his trust in Securonix,” said Scott Sampson, Chief Revenue Officer at Securonix. “Shieldient represents the future of managed security services, agile, AI-first, and outcomes-driven. We look forward to powering their success and delivering real value to the customers they protect. SIEM/UEBA and threat intelligence are not a nice to have, they are a must have. Our TCO, best-in-class cybersecurity analytics and our Agentic capabilities are unparalleled.”
Shieldient’s cybersecurity-only focus means that with specialized expertise, they serve with precision and purpose to deliver outcomes that generalists can’t match.
