Ontinue: A Trailblazer in Cybersecurity by Gaining Finalist Spot at Microsoft Security Excellence Awards

Being acknowledged as a Security Trailblazer finalist serves as a strong endorsement of Ontinue's capacity to collaborate effectively with Microsoft in transforming security operations via Agentic AI,” stated Geoff Haydon, CEO of Ontinue. He emphasized how Ontinue’s unique strategy, driven by its AI-powered ION platform, empowers clients to achieve swift results, enhanced resilience, and significant value from their investments in Microsoft Security frameworks.

Ontinue is at the forefront of industry innovation with its ION MXDR platform, which combines human intellect with agentic AI and innovative automation to swiftly tackle threats while continuously reinforcing clients’ security postures.

Since the onset of 2025, the company rolled out its Autonomous Investigator agent, which has successfully diminished the mean time to respond to security incidents by 55% within the year. Impressively, Ontinue’s Security Operations Center (SOC) has effectively addressed 99.5% of incidents autonomously on behalf of its clients, alleviating pressure on their in-house security teams.

In September, Ontinue unveiled its inaugural version of the Posture Advisor agent, developed on Microsoft Security Copilot. This tool evaluates Entra security protocols and offers tailored suggestions to bolster a customer’s defense against identity-centric attacks.
