Two sets of security services firms have formed go-to-market alliances.
First, Emerge Digital and Red Maple Technologies have forged a strategic partnership to bring enterprise-level cyber security solutions to SMEs, at a time when small businesses struggle with the cost and resource of staying secure.
As a managed service provider, Emerge Digital will now incorporate Red Maple’s attack surface management solution, FractalScan Surface, into its recently launched OnyxSecure product suite. This suite is designed to bring enhanced enterprise-level cyber security to small businesses at “more affordable prices”, says the provider.
"Red Maple recognises the indispensable role MSPs play in protecting small businesses from the relentless threat of cyber attacks," said Rob Stemp, CEO at Red Maple Technologies. "Our strategy revolves around equipping businesses with a comprehensive understanding of their cyber risks. By partnering with leading MSPs, such as Emerge Digital, we aim to extend our reach and provide our state-of-the-art attack surface management platform to a significant number of SMEs."
The alliance marks the first time Red Maple's FractalScan Surface will be available through an MSP, with OnyxSecure backed by a dedicated team of highly certified cyber security engineers.
Tom Henson, Emerge Digital managing director, added: "Our shared values and vision make this collaboration with Red Maple Technologies a natural choice. It's a testament to the innovative spirit we share in supporting the small business community.”
In a second alliance, BlueFort Security has signed a new partnership agreement with Noetic Cyber, a cloud-based continuous cyber asset intelligence and controls platform.
The partnership with Noetic will further expand BlueFort’s cyber security practice that delivers complete solutions that ensure continuous discovery, validation and control for organisations.
Lack of or limited visibility over IT is the root cause of many cyber security challenges organisations are facing.
“For security teams to operate effectively, they need a clear understanding of what they are trying to protect. Visibility is part of it, but understanding the cyber relationships between assets and their business context is critical to improving security posture,” said Paul Ayers, CEO at Noetic Cyber.
Noetic takes a proactive approach to cyber asset intelligence and controls management, empowering security teams to see, understand, and optimise their cyber security posture, through its Cyber Asset Intelligence platform.
Noetic will become a “core value-add offering” within BlueFort’s service delivery platform, Evolve.
