Cloudtrace achieves Level 1 Managed Security Services Provider Competency

Sydney, Australia - October 23, 2023 – Cloudtrace, a cloud cyber security services provider, announced today that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Level 1 Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Competency status. This designation recognises that Cloudtrace successfully met AWS’s requirements for a baseline of managed security services to protect and monitor essential AWS resources 24/7, known as Level 1 Managed Security Services. This new baseline standard of quality for managed security services was introduced by AWS to benefit cloud environments of any size and it spans six security domains: vulnerability management, cloud security best practices and compliance, threat detection and response, network security, host and endpoint security, and application security. The six domains contain multiple MSSP services, each with technical skillset and operational process requirements specific to AWS.

AWS launched the AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency to enable customers to easily acquire ongoing security monitoring and management, validated by AWS. AWS security experts annually validate the tools used and operational processes of each MSSP address specific cloud security challenges such as continuous event monitoring, triaging, AWS service configuration best practices, and 24/7 incident response. The AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency provides a faster and easier experience for customers to select the right MSSP to help them achieve their goals for business risk and cloud strategy confidence.

Achieving the AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency differentiates Cloudtrace as an MSSP and AWS Partner with essential 24/7 managed cloud security skillsets to earn the distinction of Level 1 MSSP.

“We are committed to providing cybersecurity services that are tailored for AWS” said Gareth Batchelor, Founder and CEO of Cloudtrace. “This specialisation gives our customers access to cybersecurity experts who understand AWS environments and know how to manage native AWS security services. Achieving the Level 1 MSSP competency status is validation of the AWS focus driving our 24/7 managed security service offering.”
