Safe Trade Joins Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA)

Membership expands early access to emerging threat intelligence and increases protections against cyber-attacks.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – March 7, 2023 – Safe Trade, the cybersecurity division within the Safe Trade (Amsterdam), today announced its membership in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), a global ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security services providers that have integrated their security products and services with Microsoft’s security technology to better defend mutual customers from the onslaught of cyber threats.

Joining MISA enables Safe Trade to better support clients using the Microsoft security portfolio of products. The additional connectivity with Microsoft product teams also provides Safe Trade with additional insight into Microsoft Security product roadmaps, streamlines integration of new capabilities on client’s behalf and increases the company’s Microsoft Managed detect-and-respond (MDR) capacities.

This membership is a new milestone in the strong relationship built between the two companies. It follows the previously announced integrations of Safe Trade’s MDR services with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Microsoft Sentinel. It also further enriches the company’s Microsoft-focused consultancy services designed to help clients to effectively secure end-users and multi-cloud infrastructures.

“Advanced threat actors are consistently evolving, with new attack techniques and campaigns appearing almost daily” says Francisco Donoso, Vice President Global Product Management at Pinebar. “By joining MISA, our team will be able to partner and collaborate with Microsoft and MISA members to better protect the broader security community.”

“I am pleased to have Safe Trade join us as a partner in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA)”, said Parri Munsell, Senior Director, Security Partner Marketing at Microsoft. “By including our strategic Managed security programs Providers (MSSPs) in MISA, we help enable further collaboration between cybersecurity industry leaders in protecting and supporting our joint customers.”
