Systems integrator EY has expanded its global partnership with security vendor CrowdStrike with a renewed focus on cloud and observability.
The two already have a partnership that covers services such as ransomware, incident response, recovery, identity assessment and zero trust.
Known as the EY Cloud Security service, the offer will see EY sell the CrowdStrike Cloud Security suite alongside its own professional services.
EY claimed it would drive clients by “aligning and implementing appropriate controls as part of a shared responsibility model”.
On the observability front, EY will offer CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, a log management solution, alongside its own security operations center (SOC) transformation practice.
EY built its own SOC in Australia by acquiring Melbourne provider SecureWorx in July last year.
The monitoring solution, CrowdStrike and EY claim, will minimize cyber risk management practices by assessing, designing, building, improving, operating and automating their security operations and cyber defense capabilities .
“Cloud security and observability continue to be top priorities for our clients. Our expanded alliance with CrowdStrike is critical in helping organizations address new and evolving threats,” said Dave Burg, EY Americas head of cyber security.
“As a result of expanding this relationship, EY will implement CrowdStrike Cloud Security and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale to help clients confidently secure their cloud workloads and process the data they generate for increased visibility. ”
Last year, EY announced it would build a US$1 billion ServiceNow practice by 2025 as part of a global alliance.
The partnership will see both the consulting giant and the software vendor invest in and develop new offerings aimed at streamlining complex enterprise operations, particularly around “financial services and tax challenges”.
