LAS VEGAS, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cyderes, a global managed cybersecurity services partner helping organizations Be Everyday Ready®, today announced a partnership with Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, to deliver next-generation SOC modernization to global enterprises. The collaboration, unveiled at Black Hat USA 2026, enables organizations to modernize security operations by bringing together Cyderes’ unified service model, global security operations experience and MDR capabilities with Palo Alto Networks AI-driven SecOps platform.
Security teams face mounting pressure to manage a growing influx of threats across a rapidly expanding attack surface while simultaneously reducing complexity created by fragmented tooling. By combining Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR and Cortex XSIAM with Cyderes’ managed services and implementation expertise, joint clients can reduce friction and accelerate their journey toward an AI-powered SOC without sacrificing operational control or business context. As a premier delivery partner across Palo Alto Networks full portfolio, including Idira for identity security, Cyderes enables organizations to unify protection across endpoints, cloud and identity in a single, managed program.
“Security operations are entering a new era, and enterprises need to move faster without creating more complexity,” said Chris Schueler, CEO of Cyderes. “We are partnering with Palo Alto Networks because we believe the future of the SOC will be built on AI-driven platforms, deep operational expertise and identity-aware context. Palo Alto Networks brings one of the strongest security operations platforms in the market, and Cyderes brings the managed services scale, MDR maturity and enterprise delivery experience to help clients put that platform to work. Together, we can help organizations modernize their SOC, reduce noise, respond faster and defend with greater confidence.”
The partnership positions Cyderes as a premier delivery and implementation partner for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR and Cortex XSIAM across the United States, Canada and U.K./EMEA markets. Cortex XDR connects telemetry from endpoint, network, cloud, identity and email sources and builds rich context that enables teams to detect threats at machine speed. Cortex XSIAM is designed to unify security data and analytics, detection, incident management and threat intelligence in a single platform. By overlaying Cyderes’ managed services, powered by its Meridian entity fabric, clients experience faster onboarding, expert-led operations and a flexible model that supports both fully managed and co-managed security programs.
“Traditional security operations simply cannot keep pace with today’s faster, automated threats,” said Simone Gammeri, Chief Partnerships Officer of Palo Alto Networks. “Our partnership with Cyderes combines the power of Cortex alongside deep managed services and implementation experience to help eliminate the day-to-day complexity of security for our mutual customers. Together, we are helping organizations move toward streamlined, automated operations, resulting in machine-speed detection and response, drastically reduced strain on internal teams, and a much stronger overall defense.”
