The Microsoft MISA (Microsoft Intelligent Security Association) VIP Mixer is an exclusive event held in partnership with key cyber security conferences. The mixer gathers leaders, influencers, and professionals in the cyber security industry for insightful discussions, networking, and collaboration. The reception is an open forum to share knowledge, foster relationships, to discuss the latest trends in cyber security.  

VIP presence 

Co-sponsoring the Microsoft VIP Mixer is a significant achievement for Quorum Cyber.  This high-profile event gathers the brightest minds in the cybersecurity industry, making our sponsorship a testament to our growing influence and recognition in the field. It provided our experts with an invaluable platform to network, share expertise, and showcase innovative cybersecurity solutions. We’re proud to be part of such a fantastic event, reinforcing our commitment to excellence, and our dedication to providing top-tier cybersecurity services to our clients.  

Inside the venue, Quorum Cyber secured an exhibition stand – the perfect spot for engaging discussions with attendees, complemented by easy access to a delightful array of canapes, a variety of drinks, and a delicious gelato bar 

Throughout the mixer, our Quorum Cyber experts engaged with cyber security influencers, such as Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Security, podcaster and author, Ann Johnson and Microsoft’s Vice President of Business Strategy, Aarti Borkar. 

A unique experience 

What made this mixer one to remember, was the cyber security leaders who contributed to a unique mixology book. Each leader had contributed their signature cocktail, named after Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence naming taxonomy. This book, along with a cocktail kit, was a gift to all attendees, allowing everyone to recreate their own “Granite Blizzard” at home. 

Taking the ‘R’ in Managed Detection and Response to a new level 

Throughout the mixer, Quorum Cyber’s Solutions Consultant, Ricky Simpson, and Vice President in Security Services, Paul Caiazzo, enjoyed insightful discussions with attendees. They shed light on Quorum Cyber’s ethos, our portfolio, and what makes us unique; offering a one stop shop for all Microsoft Security needs and a complete suite of managed and professional services leveraging Microsoft Security solutions. 

Attendees were particularly impressed with Quorum Cyber’s commitment to helping organisations achieve their security goals, with many security leaders expressing their need for Managed Detection and Response services (MDR). 

As Ricky states, ‘’Quorum Cyber puts the capital ‘R’ in Managed Detection and Response.’’Many partners neglect to incorporate Incident Response into their security packages. In the event of a problem, they’ll propose assistance, but it will come with an additional cost, whereas Quorum Cyber include this in our MDR service.  This bolsters the fact that our unique approach to cyber security resonates with industry cyber security leaders.
