Brisbane-based managed services provider Wyntec has acquired Australian cybersecurity awareness training provider Layer 8 Security for an undisclosed su.
Australian cybersecurity awareness specialist Layer8 Security has appointed Brisbane-based Uptime Systems as its newest distributor.
The deal marks Uptime’s first foray outside of business continuity hardware, adding a cybersecurity offering in addition to its current portfolio of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) systems, racks, mounting brackets and more.
“Layer 8 Security was looking for a proactive distributor, someone who will actively target the market and assist in growing the market for both companies. Layer 8 Security wanted a value added distributor, which Uptime Systems definitely excels at,” Layer 8 managing director Jesse De Haan told CRN.
“Layer 8 Security wants to target the larger tier of resellers with Uptime Systems, as well as the mid-tier. This will allow both Uptime Systems and Layer 8 Security to share customers and contacts, while penetrating both companies deeper into the market.”
