Aquion, which specializes in value-added software distribution, has entered into a strategic partnership with global cyber security-driven company Trustwave. As cyber security continues to pose a growing risk in Australia and New Zealand, the partnership intends to use Trustwave’s sophisticated technologies to strengthen security measures in both areas.
Through this partnership, Trustwave will expand its client base by providing its industry-leading services to more vendors and clients through Aquion. Its services include security consulting, penetration testing, managed detection and response, co-managed security operations centers (SOCs), threat intelligence, digital forensics, incident response, database security, and email security.
Stephen Balicki, CEO and founder of Aquion expressed his expectation of a successful merger of the two companies. He said: “As a value-added distributor, we are thrilled to distribute Trustwave’s cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions through our partner network, reinforcing our dedication to safeguarding our region from emerging cyber threats.”
Trustwave’s commitment to extending its cyber security capabilities to the channel through Aquion was reiterated by its Channel Manager for APAC, Rizwan Iqbal. He said: “Trustwave is excited to broaden our cybersecurity capabilities into the channel through this partnership with Aquion. In an industry facing skills shortages, frequent and more sophisticated attacks, clients are helping organizations navigate evolving and complex cyber regulations.”
Aquion’s primary focus is aligned with implementing innovative security solutions and generating revenue streams through its business channels. Therefore, partnering with Trustwave, an analyst-recognized leader in managed detection and response (MDR), cyber consulting, penetration testing, database security, and email security, puts Aquion at the forefront of expanding cybersecurity advancements in the region.
The combination of Aquion and Trustwave marks the intersection of supply chain and cybersecurity expertise and promises greater security resilience in an era of more complex and frequent cyber attacks. The strategic partnership intends to fortify Australia and New Zealand with enhanced cyber defense mechanisms, ultimately protecting both regions from destructive and harmful cyber threats.
