HBS Adds Three More Microsoft Specializations: Expanding Security and Automation Expertise

LITTLE CHUTE, WISCONSIN — Heartland Business Systems (HBS) has earned three new Microsoft specializations: Cloud Security, Threat Protection, and Intelligent Automation, further expanding its deep Microsoft expertise across cybersecurity and process automation. These designations recognize HBS’s proven success in helping clients secure hybrid environments, respond to emerging threats, and streamline business processes using low-code automation tools.

Recognized Expertise in the Microsoft Security and Automation

The Cloud Security Specialization is awarded to Microsoft partners who demonstrate the ability to deliver comprehensive security solutions across Azure, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. It showcases extensive experience in deploying Microsoft technologies such as Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Network Security.

The Threat Protection Specialization highlights a partner’s capability to implement powerful Microsoft security workloads like Defender for Identity, Microsoft Cloud App Security, or Microsoft Sentinel, helping organizations detect and respond to threats across identities, endpoints, and applications.

The new Intelligent Automation Specialization reflects HBS’s ability to help clients digitize and automate business processes using Microsoft’s Power Platform. This designation highlights the HBS success in building low-code, enterprise-grade solutions that reduce manual work, improve efficiency, and deliver value fast—at a fraction of the traditional cost and complexity.

With these three additions, HBS now holds nine Microsoft Specializations across Security, Modern Work, Azure Infrastructure, and Business Applications—solidifying its position as one of the most capable and well-rounded Microsoft partners in the nation.
