In this episode of The Digital Executive podcast, Geoff Haydon, CEO of Ontinue, shares how his leadership journey—from SecureWorks and VMware to heading Ontinue—has helped shape a new era of cybersecurity services. Geoff dives into how Ontinue's MXDR platform, Ontinue ION, is transforming legacy MDR practices by combining automation, AI, and a holistic approach to threat management. He explains how today’s cybersecurity demands go beyond just alerting and into proactive risk reduction across cloud, network, and identity. Geoff also unpacks how Ontinue’s partnership with Microsoft and its integration with the Microsoft security platform is enabling enterprises to reduce tool sprawl, cut costs, and deliver measurable outcomes. With over a third of security incidents resolved autonomously and 99.5% handled without customer intervention, Ontinue is helping CISOs do more with less—replacing outdated "defense in depth" models with scalable, intelligent operations powered by agentic AI.
