Sumo Logic launches security program for struggling MSPs
New tool offers full visibility of security policies and events across a provider's customer base


Sumo Logic has announced the launch of its new Practice Builder security program, which has been designed to help service providers build a customisable cloud-native security practice based on the software firm’s Continuous Intelligence Platform.
The Practice Builder offers MSPs, MSSPs, and MDRs full spectrum visibility across their on-premises and cloud environments, Sumo Logic says, which will enable better management of security events and effective enforcement of security and compliance policies across their customer base.
Boasting time-to-value with no capital investment or the burden of managing infrastructure, the customisable program includes modules such as training, enablement, best practices, as well as new licensing and go-to-market models.
“Customers' security environments are becoming more complex, and we are seeing an ever-increasing need for MSSP and MDR providers across our customer and prospect base,” explained Jabari Norton, VP of Global Channels at Sumo Logic. “This increase in demand is challenging service providers to find solutions that deliver both fast value and strong cost economics, so they can provide a profitable and scalable service to their customers.”
With a legacy in building and operating multi-tenant, distributed cloud systems, Sumo Logic is the industry’s first continuous intelligence platform to natively ingest, index and analyse structured and unstructured data together in real time, the company claims.
Built on this Continuous Intelligence Platform, the Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM offers a unique cloud-native, multi-tenant, elastic scale approach that ultimately prevents hindrances to modern security workflows.
With its extensive partner ecosystem, the firm says it aims to build deep, long-standing relationships that enable partners to offer better solutions to customers, build profitable businesses and differentiate in the market.

“Sumo Logic’s Practice Builder is designed to provide the foundation for providers to build an end-to-end security program that requires no capital investment or infrastructure to manage,” Norton added. “The program, from training to licensing and sales enablement - with enhanced visibility to seamlessly monitor on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, is all underpinned by the real-time security insights from the Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Platform.”
