Gamma Communications has acquired MSSP Satisnet.

Unified comms outfit Gamma Communications has acquired MSSP Satisnet.

The acquisition gives Gamma access to an established operation that has been trading since 2004 and comes with 48 staff and 1,000 customers.

The managed security services provider (MSSP) has a track record of helping customers with assessments and vulnerability discovery options, as well as risk mitigation and the deployment of cyber attack defences.

The firm has relationships with a number of leading vendors in the security market, including IBM, Microsoft and Tenable.

Gamma Enterprise managing director David Macfarlane said the deal would give his outfit an opportunity to address one of the most pressing areas for customers.

“Recognising the increasing significance of cyber security, we are excited to enhance our portfolio with the expertise and solutions on offer. This enables us to cater to the growing needs of our expanding enterprise and public sector community, providing them with comprehensive security solutions to safeguard their digital infrastructure,” he said.

Satisnet CEO John McCann said the deal was an opportunity for the firm to start a fresh chapter.

“With over 20 years of bringing our cyber solutions to the market, we are thrilled to expand our scale and reach through Gamma. We are confident that this will amplify our capabilities, allowing us to tackle emerging cyber threats with unmatched expertise and deliver exceptional value to our expanding customer base,” he said.

Gamma has focused its acquisitions and alliances on the comms side of the business ,with the strategic partnership with AQA Telecom formed in May to deliver mobile virtual network aggregator (MVNA) services being a good example of its previous approach.
