Following a successful cooperation across Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Southern Europe, the partnership is now expanding into the UK.

“We are excited to strengthen our security offering with Semperis, bolstering identity-driven cyber resilience for UK organisations. The partnership allows us to further expand our incident response and proactive system health check services with comprehensive solutions for fast recovery of identity systems and continuous business operations. In an incident, Semperis’ tools have proven to reduce downtime by up to 90 per cent, dramatically improving our customers’ resilience to cyberattacks,” said Ulli Rottmüller, VP Marketing, Partner Management Europe, iC Consult.
