iomart expands portfolio with state of the art security partnership

Cloud computing and managed services company, iomart, has formed a new partnership with cyber security specialists e2e-assure.

The agreement combines iomart’s cloud infrastructure expertise with an independent, state of the art cyber defences team to provide a round-the-clock security operations centre (SOC) and proactive response service to the UK market.

With an unwavering focus on cyber security,  e2e-assure delivers best in class Security Operations Centre (SOC) services, 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.

iomart Chief Executive, Reece Donovan, said: “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. It’s a vital tool for businesses seeking to stay on top of the ever changing cyber threat landscape and we are excited for this partnership to bring even greater value to our customers.

“e2e-assure’s customer-focused approach dovetails very well with our own focus on service delivery making them the perfect business for us to work with. It was important to us that we found someone we could form a true partnership with, with both sides delivering genuine expertise to give customers a distinctly valuable service beyond just monitoring and alerts.

“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.”

CEO and Founder of e2e-assure, Rob Demain, said: “From the outset of developing this partnership, the fit between our companies has been obvious, both from a cultural perspective and how our services will be integrated. 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.”
