LogPoint unveils Matthew Rhodes to lead the charge in the Managed Security Services space

LogPoint has announced Matthew Rhodes as Regional Sales Director for MSSP’s and strategic accounts in EMEA, based in the UK. Rhodes will be responsible for developing new partner programs built on innovative ideas, advice and support ensuring the success of LogPoint partners in the Managed Security Services space.

“The biggest challenge in cybersecurity operations today is the overwhelming amount of data and incidents that need to be investigated at a time with a huge skills shortage in the sector. MSSP’s are working very hard to address this challenge for customers, but also need to be mindful that this same challenge is very relevant and even multiplied at times for themselves,” says Rhodes.

“LogPoint offers an end-to-end advanced SOC platform that will give MSSP’s the ability to efficiently offer the relevant security outcomes to customers and LogPoint is doing this with one of the most flexible cost models that I have seen in this space. This gives MSSP’s the two things that they are striving for: Efficient, relevant offerings to meet demand, with a cost model that can mirror what they are offering their own customers.”

Rhodes joins LogPoint with extensive experience from a range of established cybersecurity vendors, most recently Palo Alto Networks. He has previously served as EMEA Channel Manager at Demisto, Northern European Channel Manager at Cylance and as Major Accounts Director at Exclusive Networks. Rhodes will be reporting to Andrew Lintell, LogPoint VP EMEA, also based in the UK.

“LogPoint is recognised for its class-leading technology, but we also strive to be a more consultative partner to our MSSP’s, empowering them with new service offerings, new customer recruitment and new innovative routes to market to make our partners successful,” says Lintell.

“Matthew has exactly the right experience and understanding of the MSSP market to achieve this. He immediately understood and bought into the LogPoint mission and values and I’m convinced he will be a fantastic addition to the team.”

LogPoint provides an integrated, foundational security operations platform built on its core SIEM solution, UEBA, SAP security and SOAR. LogPoint accelerates detection and response to threats and enables organisations to convert data into actionable intelligence, supporting cybersecurity, compliance, IT operations and business analytics.
