Thu 30 Jan 2025

Grey Matter, a renowned software reseller and cloud service provider and Cloud9 Security, a leading Microsoft Partner specialising in cloud security, have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at enhancing the Azure security operations of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and SaaS providers.
This partnership leverages the combined expertise of Grey Matter and Cloud9 Security to address the complex security and scalability needs of businesses operating in the Azure ecosystem. The collaboration is underpinned by a shared commitment to empowering organisations with secure, innovative cloud solutions tailored to meet their unique challenges.
Innovative Initiatives for ISVs and SaaS Providers
As part of this collaboration, Grey Matter and Cloud9 Security offer a series of Microsoft-funded security workshops designed to educate and empower clients in navigating Azure’s security landscape. These workshops provide hands-on guidance, showcasing best practices in safeguarding applications, data, and infrastructure.
Together, Grey Matter and Cloud9 Security can also access Microsoft funding for eligible businesses for Azure Migrate and Modernisation projects, providing expert guidance to execute an infrastructure and database migration project.
Additionally, the partnership has successfully executed a complex Azure migration for a leading ISV, demonstrating the depth of expertise and seamless teamwork between the two organisations. This migration not only enhanced operational efficiency but also fortified the client’s security posture in the cloud.
