Guardz expand their presence into the Canadian market through an exclusive partnership with iON United Inc. (iON), one of Canada’s leading cybersecurity solutions providers. This collaboration is not just a strategic move; it’s a leap forward in our mission to empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with top-tier cybersecurity solutions.
Guardz and iON: A Synergistic Partnership
Guardz and iON are coming together to launch iON Guardian, a powerful new platform designed to address the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by SMBs. This partnership leverages Guardz’s innovative, AI-powered technology with iON’s extensive local network and deep understanding of the Canadian market.
“We’re excited to combine our AI-driven technology with iON’s local expertise to help create a safer digital environment for Canadian small businesses,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-Founder of Guardz. “This partnership is a pivotal step forward in our mission to empower MSPs and IT professionals with innovative cybersecurity solutions.”
Why This Partnership Matters
Small businesses often struggle with limited budgets and access to technical expertise, making effective cybersecurity a daunting challenge. Recognizing this, iON Guardian offers a unified, AI-powered solution that simplifies and streamlines security operations. With nine comprehensive security controls, the platform safeguards digital assets, users, email communications, endpoints, and cloud environments—all from one platform.
Kevin Banks, Chief Operating Officer at iON, highlighted the significance of this launch: “We recognize that small businesses face unique challenges, making it difficult for many to implement effective cybersecurity measures. We’re proud that this new multilayered security platform, iON Guardian, will address these challenges, providing SMBs with effective and affordable protection.”
Addressing Cybersecurity Threats in Canada
The importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated, especially given that 40% of Canadian businesses have fallen victim to cyber-attacks. iON Guardian is designed to meet this pressing need, utilizing AI-powered incident management and remediation workflows to maintain a low total cost of ownership while providing top-tier protection.
“Over the past 21 years, iON has earned the trust of Canada’s largest enterprises as a premier cybersecurity partner,” said Banks. “With the launch of iON Guardian, we are leveraging our extensive experience to better serve the cybersecurity needs of the small businesses that are essential to Canada’s economy. We are proud to equip these businesses with proactive cybersecurity measures that safeguard their digital assets, providing them with peace of mind.”
