Cybersecurity services expand into North America

Integrity360 has announced its acquisition of Advantus360, a Canadian cybersecurity services and solutions provider based in Calgary. Although the exact terms of the transaction remain undisclosed, this move is part of Integrity360’s ongoing global expansion, establishing a presence in North America.

Advantus360, founded in 2015, offers a range of services to diverse clients across Canada and the United States, particularly in the oil, gas, and energy sectors, alongside transportation, manufacturing, and several other industries.

The firm operates in various domains of cybersecurity consulting such as design, architecture, assessment, and remediation, alongside integration and deployment. It also provides strategic development and training. Advantus360 has worked with Palo Alto Networks and holds related accreditations. Additionally, it has partnerships with other vendors, including Cisco and Mimecast.

By becoming part of Integrity360, Advantus360 is set to evolve into a regional hub covering Canada and the broader US market, an important step in Integrity360's vision. This will include the opening of a new Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Calgary by 2026, serving as a local site for Integrity360's SOC operations, which are currently located in various cities in Europe and Africa. Additional sites are planned for Brussels and Paris.

Advantus360’s clientele hope to gain enhanced access to Integrity360’s cyber services, including risk assurance, round-the-clock incident response, forensic services, and PCI compliance. The managed services offering includes Managed SASE and Comprehensive Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), among other solutions. Integrity360's services have been recognised in the Gartner market guide multiple times.

This acquisition aims to strengthen Integrity360's position in global cybersecurity and offer Advantus360 leverage to expand its services further across North America with the backing of a larger infrastructure.
