At Seceon’s Q2 Innovation & Certification Days, one of the most anticipated sessions featured a fireside chat between Chandra Pandey, CEO of Seceon, and Josh Skeens, CEO of Logically, a leading MSSP serving organizations across sectors.

Their conversation explored today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges—scaling operations, preparing analysts for AI’s impact, and building lasting partnerships that enable real outcomes for clients.

A Partnership That Goes Beyond Technology

Logically’s collaboration with Seceon began nearly seven years ago—at a time when many vendors were still offering siloed tools. What Josh Skeens saw in Seceon was a fundamentally different approach.

“Chandra’s team [at Seceon]… they were so far out in front of what others were doing in the market that it was hard for people to kind of really believe what they were able to do.”

That level of innovation—and reliability—has kept the partnership strong through years of rapid growth and change. While some providers stitch together point solutions, Logically has relied on Seceon’s unified platform to help scale managed detection and response services with clarity and speed.

Josh emphasized the value of having technology partners who not only innovate but actively support operational success. Seceon’s team brings that blend of deep technical capability and real-world collaboration that helps MSSPs move faster and smarter.

Building Analysts for an AI-Augmented Future

A central part of the conversation focused on how artificial intelligence is reshaping security operations—not in the future, but right now.

“Make no mistake, not only is AI going to impact us from a business perspective—and it has—I mean, the reality is AI has been impacting us for over a decade now, and many just didn’t realize it.”

While Seceon’s aiXDR-PMax platform automates threat detection and response, Josh underscored the need for foundational knowledge within the SOC. He shared how Logically trains its analysts to understand underlying traffic patterns, rather than rely solely on tools:

“Though it’s not necessarily needed because of AI… one of the first things I tell [new hires] is, go learn the ports that an attacker would use—the very common ports—and how they use those protocols to their advantage… and how the traffic flows.”

That people-first mindset aligns with Seceon’s core philosophy: AI should enhance human capability—not replace it.

Reducing Complexity, Increasing Readiness

Josh also spoke about the realities MSSPs face: alert overload, complex customer environments, and the need to reduce mean time to respond (MTTR) with lean teams.

In one powerful example, he described a ransomware incident that Logically caught early—but the client didn’t act in time:

“He detected an attack very early and alerted the customer. But the customer didn’t believe us… and they ended up getting ransomware.”

Incidents like these show how important it is to have platforms and partners that deliver not just visibility, but context, risk prioritization, and confidence in response. That’s what Seceon delivers as a unified platform—and why it’s often recognized by partners as the Best XDR Vendor for MSSPs seeking to streamline operations without sacrificing depth.

Takeaways for Cybersecurity Leaders

Josh ended the session with leadership insights for any security provider navigating today’s threat landscape:

• Limit unnecessary access

• Train analysts on network fundamentals

• Choose partners who invest in long-term outcome
  

The Seceon–Logically story is a strong example of how technology, people, and trust come together to build scalable security operations. It’s also a model for how Seceon helps partners deliver measurable value—fast.
