Wavenet has announced its new strategic partnership with ColorTokens, a leader in microsegmentation and breach containment. As one of the UK’s most trusted managed services and security providers, this collaboration marks a significant step in Wavenet’s mission to strengthen cyber resilience, helping organisations limit the impact of breaches by preventing ransomware and malware from spreading inside their networks.
Through this partnership, Wavenet will deliver and support ColorTokens’ Xshield™ microsegmentation platform with a dedicated UK service wrap. Xshield enables organisations to apply granular controls across complex hybrid environments, improving visibility into how systems and applications communicate while restricting lateral movement if a threat gains access to the environment.
Both Wavenet and ColorTokens support customers operating in complex, high-stakes environments where resilience, compliance and operational continuity are critical. By partnering together, the two trusted brands strengthen their proposition for organisations seeking to modernise segmentation in a way that is practical, scalable and aligned to Zero Trust principles.
“Microsegmentation is one of the most effective ways to limit the blast radius of an attack, but it’s often been seen as too complex or too disruptive to implement,” said Steve Burden, Director of Network, Comms & Cyber Solutions at Wavenet. “By partnering with ColorTokens, we can bring customers proven Zero Trust microsegmentation technology that works alongside their existing security tools, wrapping it with the trusted UK delivery and ongoing support they expect from Wavenet.”
The partnership is particularly significant for Wavenet as it expands its security and resilience strategy, helping customers address one of the most persistent challenges in modern cyber security: ransomware that spreads once it’s inside the environment. With improved visibility and the ability to roll out segmentation gradually and safely, customers can strengthen security controls without adding operational overhead or undertaking a disruptive, all-at-once transformation.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Wavenet to bring comprehensive, leading microsegmentation to more organisations across the UK,” said Adrian Young, Head of Sales and Channel, EMEA at ColorTokens. “Breach readiness today means containing threats across every part of the environment, including IT, OT and IoT, and limiting the blast radius of an attack even as adversaries move faster and attacks become more automated. Together we’re helping customers strengthen resilience using the infrastructure they already have, without a disruptive rip-and-replace.”
The solution can be provided as a fully managed service or deployed alongside existing security capabilities, supporting a 'work with what you have' approach rather than forcing a rip-and-replace.
Wavenet remains committed to offering a broad portfolio of security solutions, with the ColorTokens partnership representing the next phase in delivering practical, scalable microsegmentation.
