Three LevelBlue security experts put their investigative skills to the test in the SentinelOne Threat Hunting competition, with Jodie McDonald earning the top spot in EMEA and advancing to the Grand Final at OneCon.

Security teams face a demanding balancing act: keeping pace with evolving threats, managing complex environments, and demonstrating how their investments reduce risk. At LevelBlue, helping organizations meet those challenges is central to our work. That commitment is reflected in Frost & Sullivan’s recognition of LevelBlue as its 2026 Global Company of the Year in Managed Security Services.
