Highland Spring Appoints Acumen Cyber for 24/7 Cyber Protection

Highland Spring Group, the business behind the UK’s number one bottled water brand, has selected Acumen Cyber to provide round-the-clock cybersecurity monitoring, threat detection and incident response.

The partnership will see Glasgow-based Acumen Cyber deliver its managed security services to Highland Spring, helping the company strengthen its existing defences while giving its internal IT team more time to focus on strategic security improvements.

Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Blackford, Perthshire, Highland Spring Group produces approximately 600 million litres of bottled water annually and employs around 500 people.

The company has already invested significantly in its IT infrastructure and cybersecurity capabilities but recognised the need for additional specialist support to maintain continuous monitoring and respond to emerging threats.

Strengthening Cybersecurity Across Operations

Under the agreement, Acumen Cyber will provide 24/7 threat monitoring, investigation and response through its CREST-accredited Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Glasgow.

The service combines security information and event management (SIEM), automation, threat intelligence and proactive threat hunting to help identify and respond to suspicious activity.

Highland Spring’s IT team will work directly with UK-based security engineers, providing access to specialist expertise without having to manage round-the-clock security operations internally.

The partnership is also intended to improve visibility of security risks and give Highland Spring’s team more capacity to strengthen infrastructure, address vulnerabilities and develop its longer-term cybersecurity strategy.

Tracy Holbein, IT Manager at Highland Spring Group, said maintaining reliable operations was central to the decision.

“Keeping our operations running reliably is essential to Highland Spring. This partnership will give us round-the-clock specialist support and more time for our own team to focus on preventing problems and strengthening our security.”

She added: “Acumen stood out because of the rapport between our teams and their enthusiasm for working with us. That gave us confidence that we could build a close and productive partnership.”

Engineer-Led Security Proves Deciding Factor

Highland Spring selected Acumen Cyber following an extensive tender process, with the provider’s technical expertise, engineer-led approach and security platform playing an important role in the decision.

The ability to work directly with the engineers responsible for delivering the service was particularly attractive, alongside Acumen’s CREST accreditation and fixed, predictable pricing.

Another deciding factor was Acumen’s approach to continuously validating security controls against real-world attack techniques, helping customers understand how effectively their defences would perform during an actual incident.

Mark Robertson, CEO of Acumen Cyber, said the partnership would focus on building a close working relationship with Highland Spring’s existing team.

“Our role is to work as an extension of Highland Spring’s team, with named security engineers who understand the business and take responsibility for strengthening its defences.”

He added: “That means continually improving protection as threats evolve and backing confidence with evidence. We continuously validate our detection capabilities against real-world attack techniques, using the findings to improve the security we deliver.”

Supporting Long-Term Cyber Resilience

The agreement reflects Highland Spring’s continued investment in cybersecurity as part of its wider business operations.

For businesses with complex production, distribution and supply chain requirements, maintaining reliable systems and access to specialist security expertise is an important consideration.

Acumen Cyber’s managed detection and response service is designed to provide continuous oversight while helping internal teams take a more proactive approach to identifying and reducing cyber risk.

The partnership also builds on Acumen’s growing customer portfolio, with the company providing managed cybersecurity, continuous security testing, incident response, threat intelligence and strategic advisory services from its Glasgow headquarters.

Huntress Expands Ingram Micro Partnership Across Canada and Latin America

Cybersecurity company Huntress has expanded its distribution partnership with Ingram Micro into Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, strengthening its channel presence across the Americas.

Building on its existing relationship in the United States, the agreement gives Huntress a single distribution route across the region, making it easier for managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs) to access and deliver its cybersecurity services.

The expansion comes as Huntress continues to grow internationally, following increased investment in its channel operations across Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Simplifying Cybersecurity Distribution Across the Americas

By extending its relationship with Ingram Micro, Huntress aims to reduce the complexity of working across multiple markets while taking advantage of the distributor’s established local infrastructure and partner relationships.

For MSPs and resellers, the agreement provides a more straightforward route to sourcing Huntress products and services through a familiar distribution partner.

Kevin Hallmark, Head of Global Distribution at Huntress, said the move would help the company reach more businesses through its channel partners.

“Partners are central to scaling our mission to protect all businesses, and expanding our relationship with Ingram Micro across the Americas gives more partners a simple, familiar path to Huntress.”

He added: “With coverage across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America through a single distributor, we can move faster to deliver stronger security to the businesses targeted by cybercrime.”

New Opportunities for Canadian MSPs

In Canada, the expanded agreement will allow MSPs and VARs to access Huntress through Ingram Micro’s existing distribution network.

The partnership is designed to help Canadian partners strengthen their cybersecurity portfolios without adding unnecessary complexity to their operations.

Alistair Edmondson, Director of Advanced Solutions at Ingram Micro Canada, said the addition of Huntress would support partners looking to expand their managed security offerings.

“Canadian partners are looking for security solutions that strengthen the protection they deliver without adding unnecessary complexity to their businesses.”

He added that bringing Huntress into Ingram Micro’s cybersecurity portfolio would help partners deliver managed security services while building businesses that can scale.

Supporting Growth Across Latin America

The agreement also extends Huntress’ reach across Latin America and the Caribbean, where differing legal, commercial and regulatory requirements can make regional expansion challenging.

Through Ingram Micro’s export division, Huntress will be able to work with a single distribution partner rather than establishing separate agreements in individual countries.

Daniela Rosa, Vice President and Country Chief Executive for Latin America at Ingram Micro, said the expansion would provide partners with greater access to cybersecurity technology.

“Our partners in Latin America are looking for technology relationships that can scale across borders while supporting the realities of doing business locally.”

She added that the agreement would help partners extend enterprise-grade cybersecurity protection to more customers across the region.

Access to Huntress’ Agentic Security Platform

Under the expanded partnership, Ingram Micro channel partners will gain access to the Huntress Agentic Security Platform, supported by the company’s 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Centre (SOC).

The platform combines protection across endpoints, identities, logs, security posture and employee behaviour with human-led security expertise.

It also incorporates Athena, Huntress’ agentic investigation system, which uses AI to investigate suspicious activity at machine speed while working alongside security analysts to identify and respond to complex threats.

Huntress currently protects more than 280,000 businesses globally, with MSPs and resellers playing a central role in delivering its managed cybersecurity services.

The latest agreement strengthens the company’s distribution network across the Americas as it looks to make managed security more accessible to partners and the organisations they support.

Core to Cloud Appoints David Brown as Managing Director

UK cybersecurity specialist Core to Cloud has appointed David Brown as Managing Director, strengthening its leadership team as the company looks to expand its managed security services business.

Brown brings more than 20 years of experience across cybersecurity, managed services and enterprise technology. He will oversee the day-to-day operations of Core to Cloud, working alongside CEO and Founder James Cunningham to support the company’s next stage of growth.

Based at the company’s Cirencester headquarters, The Castle, Brown will focus on strengthening operations, developing its services and building on its existing customer relationships.

Bringing Extensive Cybersecurity Experience

Before joining Core to Cloud, Brown held senior leadership positions at QuoIntelligence, CounterCraft, Forescout and ZeroFOX, where he helped build and scale commercial and operational teams across UK and international markets.

His appointment comes as Core to Cloud continues to develop its position in the managed cybersecurity market, supporting organisations that need specialist expertise and ongoing security support.

The company currently works with more than 150 organisations across sectors including the NHS, retail, financial services, manufacturing and critical national infrastructure.

Its services cover five core areas: Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Third-Party Cyber Risk Management, Security Assurance, Dark Web Monitoring and Threat Intelligence, and Cyber Crisis Simulation.

Core to Cloud operates as an extension of its customers’ security teams, combining technical expertise with ongoing support to help organisations improve their cyber resilience.

Supporting the Next Stage of Growth

James Cunningham, CEO and Founder of Core to Cloud, said the appointment marks an important moment for the business.

“We’ve reached an important stage in Core to Cloud’s growth, and David will play an important part in what comes next. We have built a strong business with a talented team, trusted customer relationships and a clear opportunity to grow. David has the experience and leadership skills to turn that opportunity into something much bigger.”

Cunningham added that Brown’s experience in scaling businesses, combined with his understanding of the cybersecurity market, would be important as the company continues to develop.

“He understands how to scale a business without losing sight of the people, culture and customer relationships behind its success. His commercial experience, operational discipline and knowledge of the cybersecurity market make him the right person to lead the day-to-day business through its next phase.”

Maintaining a Customer-First Approach

For Brown, a key priority will be building on Core to Cloud’s existing strengths while ensuring the company maintains its approach to customer relationships as it grows.

“Core to Cloud has earned the trust of its customers by combining strong technical expertise with a genuinely personal approach. That combination stood out to me,” he said.

“The company understands that customers do not simply need more security products; they need a partner that knows their business, works alongside their teams and helps them achieve better outcomes.”

Brown added that his focus would be on strengthening the company’s operations and services while retaining the responsiveness and customer focus that have helped establish its reputation.

The appointment follows Core to Cloud’s recent addition of former Currys CIO Andy Gamble as Advisory Board Chair, further strengthening its leadership as it prepares for its next phase of development.

Huntress and ALSO partner to put managed security in reach of more European MSPs

Huntress has signed a pan-European distribution partnership with ALSO, giving value-added resellers (VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) in 31 countries a new route to its Agentic Security Platform. The cybersecurity company, which protects more than 270,000 businesses, said the move will strengthen its growing EMEA channel ecosystem.

For security teams and the service providers that support smaller organisations, the significance lies in what the platform bundles. Huntress combines layered protection across endpoints, identities, logs, security posture and employee behaviour, backed by its round-the-clock, AI-centric Security Operations Center. For MSPs without the resources to staff a SOC of their own, that model offers a way to deliver continuous detection and response to customers as part of a managed service.

Identity is a particular point of focus. ALSO runs an established Microsoft practice, and the two companies say this will give partners a natural way to layer Huntress’ managed security capabilities over the Microsoft environments their customers already rely on, helping them get more value from existing investments rather than introducing a parallel stack.

In the UK, Westcoast Cloud, part of the ALSO ecosystem, will handle local execution and channel reach. Huntress said this will allow it to grow its presence in the region while preserving the local relationships, expertise and support that partners expect.

“Europe continues to be an important growth market for Huntress, and scaling effectively means giving more partners the tools, support, and access they need to protect more businesses in their local markets,” said Kevin Hallmark, Head of Global Distribution at Huntress. “ALSO gives us the combination of European scale and local market expertise we need to reach more partners without compromising the regional support and relationships businesses deserve.”

Partners will be able to buy and manage Huntress through the ALSO Cloud Marketplace (ACMP), which handles quoting, ordering, API-driven provisioning, subscription management, billing, usage visibility and renewals. Support for both subscription and consumption models means partners can package their Huntress services to suit their customers and their own business models.

“Huntress gives our partners a stronger way to strengthen their managed security offering and build scalable services for their customers,” said Ana Sánchez, Group Sales Lead Cybersecurity at ALSO. “By combining Huntress’ security capabilities with ALSO’s local market expertise, partner enablement and digital platforms, we can help VARs and MSPs across Europe expand their cybersecurity business.”

The agreement is the latest step in Huntress’ international expansion. Its channel ecosystem now covers more than 100 countries, with a growing presence across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa supported by regional teams and strategic distribution relationships.

Kura Appoints Acumen Cyber to Deliver 24/7 Cyber Defence

Customer experience provider Kura has appointed Acumen Cyber to provide 24/7 security monitoring, threat detection and incident response across its operations in the UK and South Africa.

Kura supports more than 50 brands across financial services, utilities, healthcare and the public sector, operating from Glasgow, Sunderland and Durban. The company handles millions of customer interactions each year, making the protection of client and customer information a key priority.

The partnership comes as Kura continues to modernise its technology estate and invest in its wider technology capabilities, including the development of omnichannel software subsidiary Inisoft.

24/7 monitoring from Acumen Cyber

Under the partnership, Acumen Cyber will provide round-the-clock monitoring from its CREST-accredited Security Operations Centre (SOC).

Kura will gain access to Acumen’s engineering-led defence model, which combines security engineers, threat intelligence and automation to identify and respond to threats.

Rather than simply generating alerts for customers to investigate, Acumen’s security engineers work directly with organisations and take ownership of investigations from start to finish. Its approach also includes continuously testing security detections against real-world attack techniques to identify areas where defences need to improve.

For Kura, this will provide greater visibility across its technology estate and specialist support should suspicious activity or a cyber incident be detected.

Protecting customer trust

Mark Robertson, CEO of Acumen Cyber, said cybersecurity is particularly important for organisations responsible for handling large volumes of customer information.

“For organisations like Kura, cyber security is about far more than protecting systems. It is about protecting the trust customers place in them,” Robertson said.

“Businesses handling sensitive customer information need confidence, backed by evidence, that their security is effective and threats can be identified and contained quickly.”

Robertson added that Acumen will work as an extension of Kura’s existing team, with named engineers who understand its business and continually test and strengthen its protection.

Supporting Kura’s long-term growth

The investment in cybersecurity also reflects the requirements Kura faces when working with clients operating in highly regulated industries, where demonstrating effective security controls is increasingly important.

Owen Campbell, CEO of Kura, said maintaining customer and client trust was central to the decision.

“Our clients place enormous trust in us to deliver outstanding customer experiences while protecting the information they entrust to us,” Campbell said.

“As our business continues to evolve, investing in cyber security is an essential part of maintaining that trust.”

He added that Acumen Cyber’s combination of specialist security engineers and a collaborative approach made it the right partner to support Kura’s security operations and longer-term growth.

Huntress Expands into Africa with New QBS Software Africa Partnership

Huntress is expanding into Africa through a new distribution partnership with QBS Software Africa, the company announced today. The move marks the latest step in Huntress’ international growth as organised, AI-enabled cybercrime continues to rise worldwide.

The expansion comes as Africa faces a mounting cybersecurity crisis. According to INTERPOL’s 2026 African Cyberthreat Assessment, artificial intelligence is now linked to 55% of reported cybercrime across the continent, with direct economic damages surpassing $5 billion. Attackers are increasingly using AI to scale established tactics against under-resourced organisations, exploiting gaps in security coverage.

Under the new agreement, local value-added resellers and managed service providers will gain access to the Huntress Agentic Security Platform and its 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Center. The platform is powered by Athena, Huntress’ agentic investigation system, which the company says combines machine-speed threat investigation with human security expertise to catch novel attacks before they escalate.

“Expanding into Africa is an important step in Huntress’ mission to protect all businesses from organized cybercrime,” said Adam Waggott-Moss, Head of EMEA Distribution at Huntress. “QBS Software Africa brings the local market knowledge, channel relationships, and regional expertise to help extend that protection to more businesses and build a strong foundation for long-term growth across the region.”

Headquartered in South Africa, QBS Software Africa will act as a launchpad for the rollout, beginning in South Africa before extending into select Sub-Saharan African markets. The partnership pairs Huntress’ cybersecurity technology with QBS Software Africa’s local channel expertise, technical support, and go-to-market resources, aiming to help regional partners scale stronger security offerings for their customers.

“Huntress’ combination of innovative technology and elite security expertise gives businesses across Africa the ability to keep pace with the attackers targeting them,” said Sanjay Mithal, Head of Strategic Vendor Alliances at QBS Software Africa. “The Huntress Agentic Security Platform brings layered defence together with the security experts who understand adversary behavior best, helping organizations across the region stay ahead of threats and sleep a little easier at night.”

The Africa launch builds on a period of rapid international growth for Huntress, which now protects 270,000 businesses across more than 100 countries. Over the past year, the company has deepened its presence across Europe and Asia Pacific, with adoption spreading across sectors including manufacturing, construction, retail and utilities, driven by investment in regional teams and channel partnerships.

Huntress plans to host a livestream on September 16 covering its Agentic Security Platform, titled “Inside the Agentic Huntress Platform: Beating Adversaries at Machine Speed.” You can register for the webinar here.

Former Currys CIO Andy Gamble Joins Core to Cloud as Advisory Board Chair

UK cybersecurity specialist Core to Cloud has appointed former Currys Group CIO Andy Gamble as Chair of its Advisory Board as the company looks to accelerate the growth of its managed security services.

Gamble brings nearly 30 years of board-level technology leadership and will work with Core to Cloud on its strategic, advisory and commercial direction across the UK enterprise and mid-market sectors.

His appointment adds further experience to the company’s Advisory Board, which includes senior security leaders from major UK organisations.

From cybersecurity buyer to advisor

Gamble spent six years as Group CIO and Chief Transformation Officer at Currys PLC, where his responsibilities included large-scale technology transformation and cyber risk.

His career has also included senior CIO positions at Dyson, Sony Electronics and Essentra PLC. That experience means Gamble has spent much of his career on the customer side of the cybersecurity market, buying and managing the types of services Core to Cloud now provides.

“I spent the better part of three decades as a buyer of cybersecurity services, and the experience left me with a clear view of where the market falls short,” Gamble said.

“Most organisations understand that cyber risk is real. Far fewer have a security function that can communicate that risk clearly at board level, or a partner that moves fast enough to keep pace with the threat.”

Gamble said Core to Cloud stood out because of its focus on proactive security, adding that he intends to help the business scale its model as a challenger to conventional managed security service providers.

Supporting Core to Cloud’s next stage of growth

Based in Cirencester, Core to Cloud works with more than 150 organisations across sectors including the NHS, retail, financial services and critical national infrastructure.

Its services span Managed Detection and Response, Third-Party Cyber Risk Management, Security Assurance, Dark Web Monitoring and Threat Intelligence, and Cyber Crisis Simulation.

James Cunningham, CEO and Founder of Core to Cloud, said Gamble’s experience at the intersection of technology, risk and commercial strategy would bring a new perspective to the company.

“He understands what good security looks like from the inside and brings a depth of experience and perspective that will be hugely valuable as we continue to grow,” Cunningham said.

“We have an ambitious business, a strong customer base and services we genuinely believe in. Having Andy chair our board will help us build on those foundations, challenge our thinking and accelerate the next stage of Core to Cloud’s growth.”

Forescout Expands Global Investment in Channel Partners

Forescout has expanded its investment in its global partner ecosystem to strengthen technical expertise and help partners support customers managing increasingly complex IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments.

Nearly 100% of Forescout’s customer business is transacted through partners, making the channel a central part of the cybersecurity company’s growth strategy. Its latest investment includes the ongoing Mission: Possible enablement roadshow and the continued support of several partners in its Envision Partner Program.

Mission:Possible reaches partners worldwide

Launched in May, Mission:Possible represents the largest investment in channel engagement in Forescout’s history.

The programme is targeting 90 cities across more than 40 countries, with content available in 22 languages. More than 1,300 people have attended events so far, with Forescout expecting to engage over 2,000 partner professionals by the end of September.

Through technical education, hands-on discussions and local engagement, the programme is designed to give partners the expertise needed to help customers address emerging risks, including those associated with frontier AI and complex cyber-physical environments.

Partners advance through Envision programme

Forescout has also recognised several organisations that have reached new levels within its Envision Partner Program.

TIC Defense has advanced from Authorised Training Partner to Silver Reseller, while Trace3, Upstart Cyber and Sidif have moved from Silver to Gold Reseller status.

NTT Australia, Hitachi Sunway Information Systems Malaysia, DOR Information Technologies Israel and Computacenter Germany have all progressed from Gold to Platinum Reseller.

David Creed, Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales at Forescout, said the company is continuing to raise expectations around technical capability, certifications, customer success and business performance.

“We’re proud to recognise these partners who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to customer success, technical excellence, partner enablement, and business growth while helping organisations meaningfully reduce cyber risk across converged IT, OT, IoT and IoMT environments,” he said.

Milo Sanchez, Senior Practice Director at Trace3, said Forescout’s technical investment and collaborative approach had helped the company better support its clients and grow the partnership.

Channel expertise becomes increasingly important

Forescout said partners are playing a growing role in helping organisations improve visibility and respond to threats across connected environments.

According to the company, organisations using its technology have reported discovering 50% more unknown IoT devices and reducing median breach containment time by 98.7%. The average time required to identify unknown, unmanaged and unauthorised assets has also fallen from 41 hours to six minutes.

The company’s channel programme has also received industry recognition, with the Envision Partner Program included in CRN’s Partner Program Guide and Forescout executives recognised in CRN’s Channel Chiefs and Channel Leaders EMEA lists.
