Under the agreement, Seccom Global will offer Aura’s RedShield services to new and existing customers, which it says will enable it to expand its suite of solutions to include a dedicated enterprise grade Web-application shielding service.

Aura, the New Zealand-based subsidiary of mission-critical technology solutions provider Kordia, says the partnership with Seccom will be instrumental in helping to bring RedShield’s innovative approach to Web-application security to a wider range of Australian businesses.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Seccom Global. They are a well-respected player in the security space and this new relationship will bring mutual value for both current and future customers, and will help increase targeted exposure and reputation for both companies,” said Michael Warnock, country manager at Aura Information Security.

"As customers demand cyber security service availability from their trusted providers, Seccom Global has successfully risen to the occasion with offering uniquely positioned solutions to drive the scalable and comprehensive protection that customers require for digital transformation. Together, there is an opportunity for us to develop strong synergies between our businesses.”

Aura claims that over the past three years, RedShield has blocked more than 82 million attacks, and in September 2017 alone, the company reported it had blocked 30 million attacks.

And, because RedShield is able to correlate attacks to actual application vulnerabilities, Aura says it knows these blocked attacks have directly helped to protect more than 27 million individuals’ privacy and safety online.

According to Anita Sheridan-Roddick, sales and marketing director at Seccom Global, the decision to add RedShield’s “unique service” to its product and service portfolio was a simple one.  

“With a history of innovation and leading-edge support services, RedShield is a natural progression for us. This product is like nothing else on the market, it provides an intelligent, and almost immediate solution to malicious behaviours.  

“As we grow it’s important that we not only continue to provide our clients with best of breed solutions, but also that we continue to adapt our business to meet our clients’ changing requirements. We see RedShield as a key partner in both our growth and our solutions.”
