Avertium's deep Microsoft expertise complements CyberMaxx's tech-enabled strategy, further strengthening the combined company's ability to deliver enterprise-grade cybersecurity outcomes to the mid-market. As a Microsoft Security Solutions Partner and member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), Avertium brings extensive expertise across Microsoft Security, including Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, Intune, and Copilot. Avertium is also an Elite Security Partner, a member of the Microsoft Partner Advisory Council, and a 2026 Security Trailblazer Award winner, with a proven track record of helping organizations operationalize Microsoft technologies and maximize their existing investments.
The mid-market cybersecurity space is crowded with point solutions and generalist providers. CyberMaxx has built its reputation on delivering enterprise-grade MDR outcomes with the response mid-market organizations deserve, and Avertium further strengthens that differentiation. This acquisition reinforces CyberMaxx's durability model and allows the company to focus on increased investment in a scalable, tech-enabled, and AI-driven service that delivers the best outcomes for customers.
CyberMaxx will continue to offer its industry-leading MaxxMDR services for layered protection across the five vectors attackers weaponize most, paired with defense against AI-driven risks. The expanded capabilities, alongside penetration testing, Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), and purple teaming, allow CyberMaxx to serve customers proactively, not just reactively.
With the acquisition, CyberMaxx aims to provide comprehensive MDR services that protect organizations from complex cyber threats. The company's focus on proactive security, combined with expert human oversight, offers robust protection and peace of mind to clients across industries.
