SYDNEY, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As organisations across Australia and New Zealand navigate the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence, increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and growing governance requirements, Virtual IT Group (VITG) has announced the launch of Modern Managed Services (MMS) and Managed Detection & Response (MDR) , that are next-generation managed services and managed security offerings designed to help organisations remain secure, resilient and ready for what's next.
Modern Managed Services delivers a Modern Defensible Architecture framework for managed IT operations, ensuring security controls, governance frameworks and operational best practices are embedded and continuously maintained. Complementing this, Managed Detection & Response provides organisations with 24x7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) capability, actively monitoring, investigating and responding to threats using advanced security analytics and response technologies.
Jeremy Nees , Chief Product Officer, VITG , said:
"Too often, organisations purchase managed services only to discover they do not have the standard level of security they need. As businesses adopt AI, the old-world IT solutions that Managed Service Providers (MSP) are selling are simply not going to cut it. We've baked common security requirements into the MMS service from day one, applying the key principles of Modern Defensible Architecture: Secure-by-Design, Defense in Depth, and Zero Trust.
MDR and ZDR can be layered on top or are available independently if you have your own IT service or team. The push to adopt AI is leaving security gaps across the ANZ mid-market. Our goal is to provide customers with technology that is secure, resilient, and ready for what's next."
The launch marks VITG's second major solution release of the year, following the introduction of its Zero Trust Consulting Practice and Zero Trust Detection & Response (ZDR) offering earlier in 2026. It is also the Group's first launch since acquiring cybersecurity outfit Security Centric , building on the addition of Auckland based The Instillery in 2025 and further strengthening VITG's capabilities across managed services, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI. VITG is also advancing a dedicated Data & AI Practice and Momentum, a continuous improvement framework currently being piloted with customers ahead of a market launch later this year.
Since joining VITG at the start of the year, Maurice McCarthy , Chief Executive Officer , is committed to moving at pace to meet the demand that has been created off the back of the market's rapid adoption of AI.
McCarthy said, "The traditional managed services model was built for a different era. Today's organisations need partners that can help them unlock the value of data and AI while strengthening cybersecurity, managing risk, and continuously evolving their technology environment.
Through the acquisition of Security Centric and The Instillery we have brought together market-leading expertise across managed services, data and AI, and cybersecurity. This launch is the first of several innovations we will introduce as we help organisations accelerate transformation and realise greater value from AI."
Sash Vasilevski , Chief Security Officer, VITG , said:
"The technology businesses are using to unlock the value of AI, integrate systems, and build strong data foundations, is rapidly introducing new risks and attack surfaces.
As business leaders accelerate their adoption of AI, the gap between the threats they face and the security capabilities they have in place is growing faster than many businesses realise."
Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response are available immediately.

VITG Unveils Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response as Part of a Broader AI and Cybersecurity Transformation across ANZ
FULLERTON, Calif., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ecozy, a leader in smart home appliances, today announced the launch of the Brezzano Switch 2-in-1 Espresso Machine, an entry-level home coffee maker that delivers espresso and true drip coffee. Designed to make home brewing simple and convenient, it features two distinct brewing styles and an intuitive on-screen brewing guide. With its versatile functions and user-friendly design, the Brezzano Switch is an ideal first coffee machine for beginners.
Two Brewing Styles in One Compact Machine
The ecozy Brezzano Switch combines drip coffee and espresso brewing in one sleek, compact machine, offering more ways to make coffee and elevating your at-home brewing experience. Unlike other espresso machines in the same price range, it features dedicated components for each brewing method: a portafilter and basket for espresso, and a drip coffee basket with a mesh filter for drip coffee. Each mode also has its own optimized brewing parameters for the best results.
What makes it special is its ability to deliver true drip coffee. The drip mode uses optimized pressure and water flow, paired with a wide showerhead to ensure even saturation and thorough extraction, delivering a rich, smooth, and balanced cup with a flavor profile similar to pour-over coffee. It brews 1–2 servings of true drip coffee in just 75 seconds, without the burnt bitterness or crema often found in espresso-based Americano, making it ideal for busy mornings.
Precise Extraction for Barista-Quality Coffee
With its powerful features, the ecozy Brezzano Switch is able to meet a variety of coffee preferences. Its built-in 20-bar high-pressure pump provides the pressure needed to extract espresso with a rich crema. The PID + NTC Temperature Control System continuously monitors and regulates water temperature to maintain stable brewing conditions and consistent flavor in every cup. It also comes with a steam wand that creates hot, finely textured microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos. Whether you prefer rich espresso or true drip coffee, the Brezzano Switch makes it easy to enjoy your favorite coffee at home.
Smart Full-Color Touchscreen for Easy Operation
The Brezzano Switch takes your home coffee experience to the next level with a vibrant, full-color touchscreen that adds a modern, tech-inspired look to your countertop. Beyond its visual appeal, the intuitive interface provides on-screen guidance for basket type selection, grind size, and coffee grounds preparation. Real-time machine status updates keep users informed of brewing progress, making the entire experience easier to follow. Even coffee beginners can quickly master the basics and make a quality cup with confidence.
Effortless Maintenance
The ecozy Brezzano Switch simplifies everyday upkeep with a one-touch self-cleaning function that takes the hassle out of routine care. The water tank and drip tray can be detached for more thorough cleaning, while a built-in reminder alerts users after every 500 brewing cycles, helping them stay on top of regular maintenance and keep the machine ready for its next cup.
Pricing and Availability
The ecozy Brezzano Switch 2-in-1 Espresso Machine is now available on Amazon for $129.99. To celebrate its launch, customers can enjoy a limited-time 31% discount. Simply use code C47O2SIC at checkout to bring the price down to just $89.69. Offer valid Nov. 7 – 30. It's an affordable option for upgrading your home coffee setup or finding a practical holiday gift.
