IR News | 27 Jun 2024

Softronic, a leading IT solutions provider, expands its security services through a strategic partnership with cybersecurity expert Nixu, a DNV company, to enhance cyber security services in Sweden. Softronic and Nixu will jointly deliver a Security Operations Center (SOC) and complementary security services to help organizations defend themselves effectively against external threats such as cyberattacks and comply with regulatory and standard requirements, such as the NIS2 directive.

The collaboration enables customers to access the best of both companies’ senior security expertise and offerings through the Security Operations Center (SOC) and related security services.

A SOC helps organizations meet compliance requirements by providing continuous security monitoring, threat intelligence and analysis, and incident management.

In a world where threats and risks increase every day, the partnership aims to ensure customers’ business continuity and yield synergistic benefits, including cost reduction, for the customers through proactive work.

– I am proud of the work that Softronic and Nixu have done to realize our joint ambition to be able to offer comprehensive security solutions that enable us to efficiently support our customers in their security service needs and streamline their security maturity, comments Jan Mickos, Director of Managed Services at Nixu.

– I am very happy about the collaboration with Nixu, which enables companies and organizations to accelerate their digital ambitions in the coming years and at the same time defend themselves against escalating cybercrime, says Charlotte Eriksson, CEO at Softronic.
