Published

on

WASHINGTON, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Students from Richmond Hill, New York, will have the chance to connect with NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers as they answer prerecorded science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-related questions from aboard the International Space Station.

Watch the 20-minute space-to-Earth call at 12 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, March 26, on NASA+ and learn how to watch NASA content on various platforms, including social media.

The event, open to students and their families, will be hosted by Richmond Hill High School, a New York City public high school in Queens South, District 27. The school’s goal is to inspire their students to pursue STEM careers.

Media interested in covering the event must contact Lilly Donaldson at Lily@arttechnically.org by 5 p.m., Monday, March 24.

For more than 24 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through SCaN‘s (Space Communications and Navigation) Near Space Network.

Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the space station benefit people on Earth and lays the groundwork for other agency missions. As part of NASA’s Artemis campaign, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars; inspiring Artemis Generation explorers and ensuring the United States continues to lead in space exploration and discovery.

ON2IT Launches AUXO Curator™, Enhancing ON2IT MDR Services

Published

on

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.
