Ingram Micro adds cybersecurity company AlgoSec to vendor lineup

Ingram Micro has entered into a relationship with cybersecurity company AlgoSec, allowing Ingram Micro partners to gain access to AlgoSec’s solutions.

The company said MSPs will be able to offer enhanced network security management, automate security policy changes, and ensure compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments due to the partnership/

AlgoSec specialises in application-centric security management and automation for hybrid networks, covering public clouds, private clouds, containers and on-premises environments.

Through network security automation, this collaboration allows Ingram Micro to complement its existing vendor offerings by enhancing firewalls and network solutions with automated policy management and risk remediation.

AlgoSec will also use Ingram Micro’s Xvantage AI-driven digital platform with a view to simplify solution deployment and enhance partner efficiency. 

Ingram Micro’s GM of HBA and cyber vendor management in Australia, Amanda O’Brien, said AlgoSec’s automated security solutions enrich the company's cyber security portfolio and further strengthens partners’ ability to secure hybrid networks.

“We hear from our vast network of MSP partners that they are being consistently asked to do more with less," she said.

"With AlgoSec, they can automate security policies and troubleshoot faster, which will provide a better customer experience and avoid unnecessary work."

O'Brien said Ingram continue to see a significant shift towards hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, and its customers are seeking to balance considerations around data sovereignty, compliance and operational complexity.

"AlgoSec’s solutions address the requirement to manage on-prem firewalls, hypervisor cloud security controls and software-defined infrastructure in a consistent, compliant and automated way to help ensure the highest protection available," she said.

"This is a gamechanger for MSPs that are looking to scale and embed security into their broader service offerings."
