Bechtle and secunet partner for European managed security services

Bechtle and German cybersecurity specialist secunet are partnering to launch new managed security services across Europe. The collaboration combines Bechtle’s IT service delivery with secunet’s high-security technology to target organizations with stringent data protection requirements, such as government agencies and critical infrastructure operators.

The partnership utilizes two primary platforms. The SINA architecture provides encrypted communications, including protected workstations and secure network access, with a footprint of over 280,000 installations in 25 countries. Additionally, the secunet edge platform manages distributed infrastructure by connecting applications and equipment across multiple locations, including legacy systems.

Under the agreement, secunet will provide the underlying technology while Bechtle manages integration, operations, and service delivery. The services will include infrastructure maintenance, monitoring, and lifecycle management, with a focus on technology developed entirely within Europe.
