Sysnet Global Solutions, a leading provider of cyber security and compliance solutions, recently announced its rebrand to VikingCloud™, unifying the businesses acquired by Sysnet over the last 18 months.
VikingCloud and ControlScan were both acquired by Sysnet inDecember 2020. VikingCloud delivers asset, event, and compliance management through its industry-leading next-generation cloud security platform, whileControlScan is a U.S. leader in managed security services specialising in compliance detection and response. In 2021, the business acquired SecureTrust, an industry expert in Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, risk management, and regulatory compliance; NuArx, a computer and network security company that provides PCI compliance and payment security solutions to merchants and premium brands.
Sysnet, SecureTrust, NuArx, and ControlScan will now all operate under the VikingCloud name. Businesses and partners will benefit from a combined product offering delivered under two divisions: Partner Solutions and Business Solutions.
Partner Solutions services include:
- Managed Security and Compliance for SMBs – encompassing the PCI self-service compliance portal for SMBs with an acquirer view.
- Proactive Data Security (PDS) – offering managed security and compliance for SMBs.
- Web Risk Monitoring Services – helping acquiring organisations detect illegal online marketing and sales activity.
Business Solutions services include:
- Managed Security Testing (MST)
- Managed Security Services (MSS)
- Managed Compliance Services (MCS)
- Consulting and Advisory Services (CAS)
- Digital Certificates (SSL)
The move will showcase the business’s vast expertise and capabilities, improve brand awareness, and stimulate cross-sell opportunities.
News of the re-brand comes at a time of rapid change for the global cyber security market. In 2021, the total number of cyber attacks increased by 50% year on year, with education, research, and healthcare hit hardest. As cyber threat actors refine their techniques and leverage machine learning and automation, the number and impacts of attacks are only likely to grow. VikingCloud aims to meet these challenges head-on, building on its recent momentum as it delivers enhanced solutions to clients of all sizes throughout 2022 and beyond.
In tandem with the re-brand, VikingCloud integrates technology, processes, and people to make it easier for customers to interact with the business. A vital component of this will involve the enhancement of the company’s cloud-native Asgard Platform™, a highly scalable, fast, global, and feature-rich platform that blends algorithms and technologies to deliver hyper-effective cybersecurity and compliance.
