Managed Service Provider SilverSky today announced that it will be acquiring the Security Services division of StillSecure, a Colorado-based managed security services provider. The acquisition comes on the heels of SilverSky’s major re-investment into the company’s managed services and cloud practice, including a re-branding effort from earlier in the year. Both MSSPs are longstanding members of the MSPAlliance.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The acquisition continues a market wide trend of companies acquiring cloud service delivery capabilities; recent deals include IBM/SoftLayer, Proofpoint/Mail Distiller, and Colt/ThinkGrid.
StillSecure’s managed security suite will extend SilverSky’s Managed Security Services portfolio, which includes cloud email and email security solutions. SilverSky will continue to fully support StillSecure customers and channel partners, providing them full access to its comprehensive portfolio of software and managed services. StillSecure customers and partners will also have access to SilverSky’s Security Operations Center (SOC) and its team of security professionals and practitioners.
“StillSecure’s world-class team, innovative technologies and services fit perfectly into SilverSky’s portfolio and existing customers of both companies stand to benefit greatly through this acquisition,” said Tim Harvey, CEO, SilverSky. “This deal allows us to further realize our strategic objectives for expanding our product portfolio and broadening our domain expertise to further assist our customers and partners.”
SilverSky services over 6,000 organizations in the financial services, retail, healthcare, energy, critical infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.
