ON2IT Launches AUXO Curator™, Enhancing ON2IT MDR Services

Published

By

ZALTBOMMEL, The Netherlands , April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ON2IT, the pioneer in Zero Trust as a Service (ZTaaS), today announced AUXO Curator™, a major enhancement to its Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service that enables seamless ingestion of security log data from any source—across IT, OT, and cloud environments.

“We don’t want to replicate the complexity of legacy platforms. We want to eliminate the need for them,” said Marcel van Eemeren, CEO at ON2IT. “With this upgrade, we’ve removed one more barrier to growing your Zero Trust adoption.”

Clients can now connect any log source, regardless of protocol, to ON2IT’s MDR platform. Ingested logs can be retained cost-effectively for up to seven years, and are continuously analyzed—both in real-time and retrospectively—against the AUXO Threat Intel Feed™. Every security event generated is evaluated through ON2IT’s EventFlow™ and AUXO™ platform—and, when needed, escalated to expert SOC analysts. There is no need for separate playbooks, query languages, or costly data lakes. A single click exports log data for audit and compliance purposes—fast, simple, and frictionless.

Not Just Stored — Acted On

Unlike legacy SIEMs that focus on log collection and dashboards, ON2IT’s approach uses logs as an active enforcement tool—validating behavior, confirming policy alignment, and helping prevent breaches before they escalate. This update further simplifies ON2IT’s core promise: delivering affordable MDR that actively reduces risk, improves compliance readiness, and enables resilient cybersecurity—all rooted in Zero Trust.

No SIEM Required. No Tradeoffs Made.

This latest capability strengthens ON2IT’s end-to-end Zero Trust offering, helping clients eliminate point solution sprawl and reduce operational burden—without sacrificing visibility, speed, or control.

ON2IT is redefining what managed detection and response should deliver: Zero Trust by design, compliance by default, and prevention instead of merely detection.

About ON2IT

ON2IT is the global leader in Zero Trust as a Service MDR. With operations in Europe and North America, ON2IT protects organizations worldwide through its proprietary AUXO™ platform, continuous security improvement methodology, and 24/7 expert SOC monitoring.

HOUSTON, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Adcetera, a full-service integrated brand and digital marketing agency with offices in Houston, Chicago, and The Woodlands, today announced a significant milestone: the 25th anniversary of its proprietary One Voice Program℠ (OVP).

Brands can build relationships, they can inspire, inform, they can tell the stories that move businesses forward.”

The strength of the One Voice Program℠ is demonstrated through a diverse portfolio of successful client engagements including Aggreko, AIG, Everon, Fracht Group, Horizon Bank, Sandbox, Mellow, and many more. Supported by in-house teams specializing in brand strategy, creative, video, media and digital services, Adcetera has utilized the OVP methodology to achieve measurable results, from enhanced brand perception and market positioning to successful product launches and improved internal alignment.
