Southampton, UK – 6th December 2022 – Nine23 Ltd (“Nine23”), a UK Sovereign Cloud provider of cyber security solutions for the regulated and compliant market, announces a strategic partnership with Appgate (OTC:APGT), the Zero Trust secure access company. Under the agreement, Appgate SDP, the industry’s most comprehensive secure Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, is now available on Nine23’s accredited UK Sovereign Secure Private Cloud infrastructure – Platform FLEX.
The combined UK Sovereign ZTNA solution and services from Nine23 and Appgate are available on the new G-Cloud 13 framework launched on the 9th of November 2022.
Nine23’s Platform FLEX provides multi-private cloud environments with direct network gateway connectivity to all UK government and private networks including the PSN, PNN, RLI, HSCN and others. This proven, accredited platform offers full guaranteed data and meta-data residency as well as Legal Data Sovereignty and extensible integration that can be used for Official-Sensitive and higher classifications.
Appgate SDP is the most flexible and adaptable ZTNA solution, delivering robust automation and diverse deployment options to harden an organization’s security posture, while alleviating the administrative burden for security and IT teams. The Appgate SDP architecture is infrastructure agnostic and built on the Zero Trust security principle of least privilege access to protect user-to-resource and resource-to-resource connections for work-from-anywhere workforces and hybrid workloads.
Stuart McKean,
CEO of Nine23 Commented:
“Zero Trust is about removing any inherent trust from the network. Just because a device is “assured” with a firewall or VPN for example, it should not be trusted by default. We are looking forward to this partnership with Appgate to enable end-users with a secure UK Sovereign Zero Trust Network Access solution.“
James Tolfree,
Regional Sales at Appgate said:
“Appgate is delighted to be working with Nine23 to provide Zero Trust access to Platform FLEX. UK Government customers are rightfully demanding of the most resilient, secure network access mechanisms, and a Zero Trust approach is the logical evolution of that.”
