eSentire, the Security Operations Partner for enterprise transformation, is proud to announce that Dustin Hillard, Chief Product & Technology Officer, has been named to Channel Insider’s 2025 AI Leaders in the Channel List. This annual list honors executives across the IT channel who are delivering measurable, AI-powered outcomes in cybersecurity, automation, customer support, and operations.

Under Hillard's leadership, eSentire has operationalized AI for security operations through the Atlas Platform, now delivering 5 hours of investigation and response effort in the critical first minutes before a threat can spread. Combining AI-driven signal correlation, autonomous investigation, and human decision orchestration to deliver proven security outcomes that are unmatched in the industry, Atlas successfully isolates 99.3% of threats at first host with 95% alignment between AI and expert analyst decisions.

Earlier this year, eSentire brought this proven capability to the channel through the Atlas Nexus Network. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and System Integrators (SIs) can now license their own dedicated Atlas instance, building differentiated cybersecurity services with the same AI that powers eSentire's award-winning MDR offering. Partners choose their engagement model: 1) fully autonomous AI investigations, 2) AI augmentation of SOC teams or 3) partner with eSentire's experts for Tier 3 escalation and incident response.

“We've built Atlas to do what others can't—actually stop threats, not just detect them," said Hillard. "Our AI doesn't just analyze; it acts. We've codified decades of hands-on security operations expertise into a platform that works across any tech stack. With the Atlas Nexus Network, partners can now license this proven capability to build their own high-margin security services. They get the technology and operational workflows that took us years to perfect, ready to deploy immediately.”

The Atlas Nexus Network positions eSentire partners for competitive differentiation, enabling them to:

• Multiply their team's capacity – delivering 5 hours of expert investigation work in minutes, improving overall customer protection and analyst performance by focusing on critical decisions requiring their specialized judgment
• Benefit from network-wide threat intelligence – every threat stopped for one customer immediately protects the entire global, federated base
• Meet compliance and data sovereignty requirements – with multi-tenant architecture supporting regional & industry specific security mandates
• Access comprehensive go-to-market support – including sales enablement, technical training, and marketing resources
• Launch white-labeled MDR services in 30 days – with proven workflows and AI automation ready to deploy

Partners leveraging the Atlas Nexus Network are already transforming their business models, moving from traditional service delivery to AI-powered outcome acceleration, and generating new revenue streams while delivering enterprise-grade protection.

"eSentire has moved beyond using AI for efficiency, we're using it to replicate and scale elite security expertise," said Hillard. "The Atlas Nexus Network democratizes this capability for our partners, enabling them to deliver the same expert-level investigation and response that protects critical infrastructure across more than 2,000 customers in 80 countries around the world. Channel Insider's recognition reinforces that this isn't the future of security partnerships—we’re delivering it now."

eSentire continues to lead the cybersecurity industry with a clear focus on accountable AI, expert validation, and mission-critical outcomes. While others are chasing defense, eSentire is powering secure transformation. To learn more about partnering with eSentire through the Atlas Nexus Network, visit: www.esentire.com/partners.
