Ingram Micro has partnered with AlgoSec to expand access to cybersecurity solutions for hybrid and multi-cloud environments in Australia and New Zealand.

The relationship allows Ingram Micro partners, including Managed Service Providers (MSPs), to access AlgoSec’s application-centric security management and automation solutions. With these capabilities, partners can strengthen their network security management, automate security policy changes and improve compliance across complex IT environments.

Partnership scope

AlgoSec’s speciality in application-centric security management spans public cloud, private cloud, container, and on-premises infrastructure. Its solutions focus on automating network security policy management and risk remediation. By joining forces with AlgoSec, Ingram Micro aims to complement its existing vendor portfolio, providing enhanced firewall management and network security.

Ingram Micro’s General Manager of HBA and Cyber Vendor Management in Australia, Amanda O’Brien, explained the benefits for partners, stating:

“AlgoSec’s automated security solutions enrich our cyber security portfolio and further strengthen our partners’ ability to secure hybrid networks. This collaboration enables partners to drive efficiency and compliance in the market.”

O’Brien noted that the addition of AlgoSec will help address growing demands placed on MSP partners.

“We hear from our vast network of MSP partners that they are being consistently asked to do more with less. They are looking for solutions that give them improvements in the services they deliver, while at the same time lowering costs. With AlgoSec, they can automate security policies and troubleshoot faster, which will provide a better customer experience and avoid unnecessary work,” O’Brien said.

Industry context

The adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies continues to increase among organisations in Australia and New Zealand. O’Brien acknowledged that customers face a need to balance data sovereignty, compliance, and operational complexity as they transition to these environments.

“We continue to see a significant shift towards hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, and our 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. This is a gamechanger for MSPs that are looking to scale and embed security into their broader service offerings,” said O’Brien.

Platform integration

AlgoSec will leverage Ingram Micro’s Xvantage AI-driven digital platform as part of the partnership. The use of Xvantage is intended to simplify deployment for partners, combining cloud subscriptions and cybersecurity services management into a single platform to boost efficiency and speed for MSPs operating in the region.

AlgoSec’s perspective

Reinhard Eichborn, Director of Strategic Alliances at AlgoSec, commented on the significance of the new relationship. Eichborn said:

“We’re so excited to launch our new relationship with Ingram Micro. We’re ready for this relationship to take off and help even more partners to benefit from the very competitive AlgoSec offerings.”

Through this collaboration, both companies aim to provide enterprises in Australia and New Zealand with application-focused security for hybrid and multi-cloud networks, responding to evolving market demands for security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
