Stonesoft, an innovative provider of integrated network security and business continuity solutions, today announced it has expanded its strategic partnership with Accuvant, the only research-driven information security partner delivering alignment, clarity and confidence to enterprise clients, to better meet the growing needs of the enterprise with network security requirements.
Accuvant is one of the fastest-growing IT security service providers in the U.S. and has been listed multiple times on the prestigious Inc. 500/5000 list. The company is located in more than 28 cities across the U.S. and has more than 2,900 clients.
"The combination of increasingly sophisticated threats and mobile, disparate workforces creates significant challenges for enterprise security professionals," said Dan Wilson, vice president of partner alliances for Accuvant. "We are pleased to be expanding our relationship with Stonesoft to offer their comprehensive portfolio of network security solutions, which enhances Accuvant's ability to help its clients protect their environments and maintain business connectivity."
Stonesoft's expanded partnership with Accuvant is part of the company's strategy to focus on an elite number of value added resellers that will extend Stonesoft's technology into the enterprise space. Accuvant was one of the original resellers of StoneBeat, the predecessor to Stonesoft's current StoneGate suite of network security solutions.
"Expanding our partnership with Accuvant is evidence of our commitment to solve the unique security, compliance and business challenges of the enterprise market. Accuvant has been a leader in this space for nearly a decade and a long-time partner of Stonesoft. We're thrilled to broaden our relationship in a way that will create value for both Accuvant and Stonesoft's clients," said Juha Kivikoski, Chief Operating Officer, Stonesoft.
