ePlus Grows Via Future Com Acquisition
In other company news, MSSP Alert reported on July 18 that ePlus acquired cybersecurity consulting company Future Com of Texas for an undisclosed sum.
By acquiring Future Com, ePlus gained access to enhanced engineering, sales and services delivery capabilities in the South-Central US region while bolstering its growing cybersecurity business.
In an interview with MSSP Alert, Lee Waskevich, vice president of Strategy, Security & Networking at ePlus, said the acquisition of Future Com was attractive for its deep experience in managed security, specifically to network security and managed firewall services.
“Future Com brings not only increased (cybersecurity) expertise but also some components relative to email security and mobility management,” Waskevich said. “We plan to explore how that fits into our managed service offering for our customers.”
