### Organisations today face rising cybersecurity threats and complex compliance demands. For channel partners, delivering robust security without the overhead of building a full-scale SOC is a major challenge.

NEXTGEN, an Exclusive Networks company, has partnered with Palo Alto Networks to launch Australia’s first **Managed SOC as a Service** tailored for Palo Alto Networks deployments. This localised offering builds on the global partnership across EMEA and SEA, enabling partners to tap into the fast-growing MSSP market—without infrastructure investment.

**Why This Matters: Local Data Sovereignty** 

With regulations like the Australian Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234, ISO/IEC 27001, and GDPR, data residency is non-negotiable. NEXTGEN’s Australia-based SOC ensures all monitoring and response activities stay within national borders—critical for sectors like finance, healthcare, and government.

Launching a SOC can take years. NEXTGEN’s service removes that barrier, allowing partners to:

- Enter the MSSP market immediately
- Deliver 24/7 threat monitoring via Palo Alto Networks-certified analysts
- Scale from SMBs to enterprise
- Offer compliance-ready solutions tailored to industry needs

**Powered by Palo Alto Networks**

The SOC integrates Palo Alto Networks’ full cybersecurity stack:

- **Cortex XDR** – Unified detection and response
- **Cortex XSOAR** – Automated incident handling
- **Prisma Cloud** – Cloud-native security
- **Next-Gen Firewalls** – Advanced threat prevention
- **AutoFocus & Threat Intelligence** – Real-time threat insights

Watch the video below - These tools are fully integrated into the SOC environment, enabling proactive monitoring, rapid response, and continuous improvement. 

 

**Built for the Channel**

Designed for **NextWave Solution Providers** and **MSPs**, this service offers:

- Recurring revenue through subscription models
- Cross-sell opportunities with NEXTGEN’s broader portfolio
- Brand protection—partners retain their identity
- Access to premium tools and proactive audits

**Be First. Be Secure. Be Sovereign.**

NEXTGEN is the **first distributor in Australia** to offer a **locally hosted Managed SOC as a Service** for Palo Alto Networks. It’s not just a solution—it’s a strategic growth enabler for partners.
