Stockport cybersecurity firm partners with MSP

Stockport based cybersecurity distributor, Distology, has announced a new partnership with St Albans-based managed service provider (MSP), Harbor Solutions.

The new partnership will see Harbor Solutions join Distology’s ever growing vendor portfolio in a first for both organisations. The new partnership will be the first time the town centre-based business has helped an MSP go to market as a vendor, bringing a comprehensive data protection solution to resellers.

Lance Williams, chief product officer at Distology, commented:

“Our ways of working have changed considerably over the last few years so it goes without saying that so have our cybersecurity needs – both from a personal and organisational point of view. It only takes one innocent, yet uneducated individual to click the link in a phishing email to give cyber criminals the opportunity to infiltrate an organisation. With this in mind, IT leaders need to be prepared for the worst case scenario, and have a plan in place to protect and recover data. This is where Harbor Solutions comes in.”

Nick Barron, chief operating officer at Harbor Solutions, added:

“Over recent years, we’ve grown considerably and have aspirational growth targets for the future which is why we’ve brought Distology onboard. The distributor is known for representing innovative solutions and the partnership signifies an extremely important milestone for us, having never positioned Harbor Solutions as a vendor in the past. We look forward to working with Distology to help more organisations get back on their feet following a cyberattack.”

As well as launching the new strategic partnership with Harbor Solutions, Distology has further strengthened its vendor portfolio adding new partnerships with Drata and Echoworx.
