In a significant development within the managed service provider (MSP) security sector, CyberSentriq has emerged from stealth mode, aiming to fortify small and medium-sized business (SMB) environments. This London-based startup, backed by private equity firm Bregal Milestone, is the result of a strategic merger between TitanHQ and Redstor, two established security firms. Collectively, they have served over 3,000 MSPs, reaching 150,000 SMBs globally.
Background of TitanHQ and Redstor
TitanHQ, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Galway, Ireland, has been a prominent player in the cybersecurity landscape. The company offers a suite of solutions, including WebTitan for web security, SpamTitan for email protection, and ArcTitan for email archiving. In June 2020, TitanHQ secured a significant investment from Livingbridge, a UK-based private equity firm, to accelerate its growth and product development initiatives. (titanhq.com)
