iomart enters new security partnership

iomart will work with cyber security specialists, e2e-assure, to deliver
proactive 24/7 security operations centre support

 

iomart Group plc (AIM: IOM), the cloud computing and managed services company,
is pleased to announce a new partnership with e2e-assure, the cyber security
specialists.

 

The agreement combines iomart's cloud infrastructure expertise with an
independent, state of the art cyber defences team to provide security
operations centre (SOC) and proactive response service to the UK market.  The
move into the security market has been a longstanding ambition of iomart and
was a key part of the growth strategy outlined by the management team in 2021.
The move into this space is in line with a recent increase in security
services demand, providing the Company with an opportunity to work more
closely with existing customers while attracting new ones.

 

e2e-assure delivers best in class Security Operations Centre (SOC) services
with a focus on cyber security, delivered by a team of expert UK Security
Cleared Cyber Security Analysts, supported by their Cumulo SOC Platform.

 

In collaboration with iomart, the combined service will include
forward-thinking secure digital environments, active threat-hunting to
identify hidden risks before they emerge, and hands-on response to resolve
vulnerabilities in real time.

 

 

Reece Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of iomart Group plc, commented:

 

"Expanding our ability to support our customers with state of the art cyber
security solutions is something we have been targeting for some time now. We
are excited for this partnership to bring even greater value to our customers.

 

"e2e-assure's customer-focused approach resonates with our own focus on
service delivery making them the perfect business for us to work with. Our
combined skillsets allow us to give customers full peace of mind that threats
are not only identified, but dealt with quickly and effectively by someone who
understands their business and their cloud environment. We look forward to
working with e2e-assure to help our customers secure their business."

 

Rob Demain, founder and Chief Executive Officer of e2e-assure, commented:

 

"From the outset of developing this partnership, the fit between our companies
has been obvious. Bringing our services together provides customers that wish
to consume cloud services with confidence they are underpinned with our
independent expertise in 24/7 security monitoring, detection and response.

 

"The trust that iomart has built in its customer base as experts in cloud
computing is the ideal platform to allow e2e-assure to bring its respected
heritage in securing the most complex government organisations to the broader
market. We are excited to be releasing this unique approach with iomart to
ensure we address the cyber security challenges that every organisation faces
today."
