Semperis & iC Consult expand partnership to UK market

Semperis and iC Consult have announced the expansion of their partnership to encompass the UK market.

The collaboration between the identity-driven cyber resilience firm Semperis and the consultancy and system integrator iC Consult aims to improve operational resilience for organisations by addressing threats to identity systems, with a focus on Microsoft's Office365 Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID.

Identity systems are increasingly seen as the new security perimeter for organisations. With a workforce consisting of over 850 cybersecurity professionals, iC Consult is regarded as a significant player in delivering specialised solutions for a wide array of clients worldwide.

The collaboration between the two businesses has already seen success in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Southern Europe, leading to the current expansion into the UK.

Under the terms of this new agreement, iC Consult will offer additional solutions from Semperis alongside its existing Lightning Platform. The new suite includes the Directory Services Protector (DSP) for real-time tracking and auditing, AD Forest Recovery (ADFR) for automated disaster recovery orchestration, and tools like Purple Knight and Forest Druid, which are designed to provide vulnerability assessments and discover identity system attack paths, respectively.

Ulli Rottmüller, Vice President of Marketing and Partner Management for Europe at iC Consult, stated, "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."

Tobie Kottman, Semperis' UK Channel Director, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "Our focus continues to be on growing our network of strategic partners, so we are delighted to expand our relationship with iC Consult."

"As a globally recognised leader in identity-driven cybersecurity with expertise in identity and Active Directory, iC Consult is perfectly positioned to extend our presence and help us to deliver even greater value to joint customers."

To further engage with stakeholders, Semperis and iC Consult will host a joint webinar titled "Why Is Your Active Directory an Easy Target for Attackers – And What You Can Do About It".

Scheduled for 17 February at 13:00 UTC, the free event will offer insights into securing and managing AD and hybrid identity systems, discussing how to identify and counter emerging threats, monitor and analyse suspicious activities, and implement robust security measures.
