Aire has announced the launch of Aire MSSP, a new managed services solution that integrates infrastructure, cybersecurity, and business continuity under a unified operational model. The proposal comes at a time when many companies operate increasingly distributed environments, combining public cloud, private cloud, connectivity, critical applications, and external providers, all needing to protect their digital assets without multiplying interlocutors or response processes.
The B2B digital services and telecommunications technology company situates the launch within a context of greater pressure on organizations. Aire notes that companies face nearly 2,000 weekly attacks per organization and an increase in threats such as zero-day vulnerabilities, ransomware, credential theft, and targeted attacks on cloud environments. Additionally, there’s a growing need to comply with more demanding regulatory frameworks like NIS2, DORA, or the National Security Scheme.
From managing systems to assuming operational security
The starting point of Aire MSSP is a concept increasingly prevalent in the market: traditional managed service models fall short when infrastructure, security, and continuity operate separately. In many companies, the cloud provider, systems team, SOC, communications provider, and backup manager work with different tools, contracts, and priorities. When an incident occurs, this fragmentation becomes problematic.
Aire presents its new solution as an evolution from the classic MSP towards an MSSP — Managed Security Services Provider — where cybersecurity is not added at the end as an independent layer but is integrated into daily operations. The solution includes 24/7 monitoring, intrusion detection, event correlation, SOC services, managed EDR, endpoint protection, email, web, and digital asset security, as well as business continuity and disaster recovery.
The difference is not just in adding tools. The goal is to reduce responsibility dispersion. Under a “single window” model, Aire centralizes infrastructure, security, and support with a single point of contact, capable of detecting, prioritizing, and acting before an incident impacts the business.
| Aire MSSP Level | Coverage | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud environment management | Operating systems, patching, middleware, monitoring, and support | Businesses needing continuous control over cloud infrastructure |
| Managed cybersecurity | SOC, EDR, detection, event correlation, and incident response | Organizations with sensitive data, digital exposure, or regulatory requirements |
| Business continuity | Backups, snapshots, recovery, technical DRP, and resilience testing | Companies that cannot afford long outages or data loss |
| Governance and compliance | Policies, procedures, evidence, and alignment with frameworks like ENS, NIS2, or DORA | Regulated sectors and companies with audits or contractual obligations |
| Cloud infrastructure | Public cloud, private cloud, connectivity, and hybrid environments | Organizations combining multiple deployment models |
Public and private cloud as the foundation of the model
Aire MSSP’s proposal goes beyond monitoring alerts. It is based on a broader vision of digital infrastructure. Many companies no longer operate on a single environment. They combine public cloud applications, critical workloads in private cloud, services in their own data centers, corporate networks, remote users, SaaS tools, and third-party platforms.
This scenario demands more integrated management. Public cloud provides flexibility and quick access to services. Private cloud offers greater control, predictable performance, customization, and sovereignty over certain workloads. In regulated sectors, industry, healthcare, public administration, financial services, or companies with sensitive data, this combination can be decisive.
Within the group, Stackscale (Aire) offers specialized experience in private cloud and bare-metal infrastructure, with services tailored for companies that need control, performance, and dedicated environments. Its role fits especially well in architectures where managed security relies on well-designed infrastructure from the outset, not just on subsequent monitoring layers.
This integration of infrastructure and security is a key element of the new model. An SOC can detect a threat, but if there’s no operational capacity over servers, network, backups, access, and platforms, the response may only stay as a recommendation. Aire MSSP aims to bridge that gap between detection and action.
Fragmentation: the silent enemy
One common problem in business environments is the so-called finger-pointing: each provider blames another when an incident occurs. The cloud provider checks their part, the systems team looks at servers, the SOC generates an alert, the communications provider analyzes connectivity, and the backup manager waits for instructions. Meanwhile, the company remains down or exposed.
This model may work in simple scenarios but becomes fragile when the business depends on real-time digital services. An e-commerce outage during a promotional campaign, a ransomware attack in a healthcare environment, an intrusion in an industrial company, or unavailability in a financial service leaves no room for hours-long coordination among providers who don’t share procedures.
Aire MSSP seeks to address this reality with a more centralized responsibility model. Monitoring, detection, technical decision-making, and action on systems are integrated into a single workflow. For internal teams, this can free up time and reduce dependence on key personnel. For management, it offers a clearer view of risk and actual response capacity.
Business continuity is especially critical. Having backups isn’t enough if restoration hasn’t been tested or if there’s no clear recovery plan. Aire includes elements such as verified copies, snapshots, technical DRP, geographic backup replication, remote log custody, and recovery drills. The difference between “having a copy” and “being able to restore and operate again” can be huge.
SOC, EDR, and managed response
In its advanced layer, Aire MSSP incorporates managed cybersecurity capabilities with 24/7 SOC and EDR. The idea is to allow companies access to detection, analysis, and professional response without the need to build a full-time security team internally.
Building a dedicated SOC incurs significant costs. Covering nights, weekends, and holidays requires multiple analyst shifts, SIEM tools, threat intelligence, procedures, training, and specialized personnel. For many mid-sized companies, this effort isn’t feasible. Outsourcing under an MSSP model provides access to advanced capabilities with more predictable costs and a shorter deployment curve.
Aire also highlights the use of technologies like Wazuh for intrusion detection and log correlation, and EDR solutions like CrowdStrike to bolster device protection. Again, the key lies in operations. Security tools only add value if someone reviews alerts, prioritizes events, understands the context, and can act quickly.
For regulated sectors, compliance adds another layer of pressure. NIS2, DORA, and ENS demand greater control over risks, third parties, continuity, incident response, and evidence. Managed security moves beyond a purely technical decision to become part of corporate governance.
Own infrastructure and long-term support
Aire emphasizes that its offering is backed by its own group capabilities, not just third-party services reselling. The company boasts a network of over 33,000 kilometers, seven own data centers in Iberia, a presence in locations like Madrid, Lisbon, and Valencia, and more than 500 professionals with specialized technical expertise.
This scale matters because managed cybersecurity requires reliable infrastructure behind it. It’s not just about detecting incidents but maintaining connectivity, cloud, recovery, support, and continuous operation. In hybrid or multi-cloud environments, the value lies in coordinating pieces typically contracted separately.
The proposal also relies on use cases presented by Aire in different sectors. These include Atida Mifarma, with an MSSP model for e-commerce and retail pharma; BYG Industrial, managing critical environments and multi-site connectivity; and Bolttech Seguros, managing AWS cloud infrastructure, DevOps approach, and disaster recovery plans.
These examples demonstrate that the potential market isn’t limited to large corporations. Any organization dependent on digital services, managing sensitive data, or with availability requirements may benefit from a more integrated model.
A response to companies’ digital maturity
The launch of Aire MSSP reflects a clear trend: companies no longer seek just to rent servers, firewalls, or alert panels. They seek availability, risk reduction, compliance, and continuity. Technology matters, but operational responsibility matters even more.
The shift towards MSSP models corresponds to this maturity. As organizations digitize sales, operations, logistics, customer service, internal processes, and critical services, security no longer remains a separate department but becomes part of the infrastructure supporting the business.
Aire proposes a scalable model, from cloud management to managed cybersecurity and advanced continuity. For some companies, the first step may be organizing assets and improving monitoring. For others, externalizing incident response or strengthening recovery capabilities. For the most mature, the goal is to integrate private cloud, public cloud, SOC, compliance, and continuity under a unified operation.
The core idea is simple: detecting a problem is no longer enough. In an environment of constant attacks, more demanding regulations, and increasing reliance on digital services, someone must be responsible for solving it. Aire MSSP was created precisely to fill that space between infrastructure, security, and business.
