NSS Labs partners with ectacom for Central Europe representation

NSS Labs selected ectacom GmbH to represent its testing services in the Central European regions of Germany, Austria, Switzerland (DACH) and Poland, a change intended to provide local access to NSS Labs' cybersecurity testing capabilities.

The collaboration targeted enterprises, service providers, and security vendors in those countries and described access to NSS Labs' real-world cybersecurity testing services as a means to strengthen defenses, ensure compliance, and reduce risk.

Among the offerings, the companies described Minion by NSS Labs as a managed security testing service based on live attack scenarios, including malware, exploits, evasion techniques, and false positives sourced from active threat intelligence; Minion was delivered remotely with encrypted control and allowed customers to continuously monitor ongoing test results, track improvements in security products over time, and generate compliance-ready documentation without in-house test management.

The arrangement was presented as designed to support CISOs, CIOs, and Chief Risk Officers in meeting regulatory compliance, supply chain assurance, and resilience, and ectacom described itself as an independent German value-added distributor for complex IT, Operational technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that works with channel partners and integrators to improve infrastructure efficiency, optimize processes, and maintain compliance.

“ectacom understands the cybersecurity challenges enterprises face today,” said Vikram Phatak, CEO of NSS Labs. “We are very proud to be partnering with NSS Labs again,” “Enterprises continue to face significant breach risks, and testing provides the validation needed to ensure vendor products are meeting critical security performance standards,” said Tomé Spasov, Managing Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at ectacom GmbH.

NSS Labs described plans to expand globally.
