Kiteworks, which delivers data privacy and compliance for sensitive content communications through its Private Content Network, has merged with data file transfer outfit Maytech.
The move solidifies Kiteworks’ leadership in the UK market while extending additional sensitive content communication offerings in the Kiteworks platform to Maytech by combining both organisations’ technological strengths and customer reach.
The companies claim the move fosters innovation by combining technological expertise and shared resources. It also strengthens Kiteworks’ commitment to the managed file transfer (MFT) market, a core offering in the Maytech technology portfolio.
Kiteworks CEO Jonathan Yaron said that the Maytech acquisition reaffirms his outfit’s commitment to the UK market while strengthening our innovation and focus on our managed file transfer capabilities.
“At the same time, Maytech customers can gain access to our modernised file and email data communications platform, including MFTP, that delivers advanced security and compliance. The acquisition also synergises technological advancements to accelerate research and development, bringing advanced features to market faster.”
This means that Maytech customers can expect a smooth transition during the acquisition and have the option to access Kiteworks-enabled Private Content Network offerings to improve risk management, enhance automated data transfers using Kiteworks MFT capability, and benefit from global, around-the-clock support.
He said that Kiteworks streamlines the protection of sensitive communications through a unified platform, enabling centralised control and consistent application of robust security measures across all channels.
Maytech CEO John Lynch said that joining forces with the leader in secure content communications represents a tremendous opportunity for Maytech to reinforce our commitment to customers.
“Kiteworks shares our passion for pioneering innovations that safeguard sensitive data. By merging our expertise, we will accelerate our ability to equip customers with cutting-edge solutions that reduce security and compliance risks. Our customers will benefit by gaining access to a broader array of secure content communications tools by leveraging the Kiteworks platform, including a robust security architecture while seeing no service interruptions or near-term product changes,” Lynch said.
