Nixu, a DNV company, has received the Security Partner of the Year award from Microsoft for the second consecutive year. The award showcases Nixu's wide range of cybersecurity solutions built on Microsoft technology and its long-standing partnerships with customers, making extensive use of Microsoft’s products. The cooperation provides both companies with a competitive advantage in Finland. 

The award was granted based on Nixu's strategic and holistic approach to advancing cybersecurity solutions in collaboration with Microsoft. 

“Our customers appreciate that we not only meet their current needs but also show them direction for the future. Our vision of Security Fusion is a strategy that ensures and maintains the continuous fusion of people, processes, and technologies. Security Fusion is a kind of North Star towards which we move, also together with our trusted partner, Microsoft, by integrating the customer's security capabilities both technically and at the process level,” explains Jan Mickos, Managed Services Director at Nixu.

“Congratulations to Nixu on Microsoft’s Security Partner of the Year recognition! We are proud of our partnership. Nixu is a knowledgeable partner that provides its customers with high-quality, versatile cybersecurity solutions using Microsoft technology. Let’s continue together on our way to an even safer digital world!”, says Mervi Airaksinen, Managing Director at Microsoft Finland. 

Nixu has strategically invested in the Microsoft partnership and ecosystem, especially in its Managed Services. With solutions based on Microsoft’s technology and Nixu’s strong processes, customers' entire IT environments are protected, from endpoints to servers, whether in the cloud or on-premises data centers. 

At the heart of Nixu’s Security Fusion vision lies a commitment to safeguarding organizations' core businesses and fortifying their resilience beyond mere IT infrastructure. 

“We treat our customers as partners, which makes it natural that mutual value generation is at the core of everything we do. In my view, the Security Partner of the Year award is, above all, a confirmation from our customers that we are focusing on the right things," Mickos says. 

Going forward, Nixu's cybersecurity services will be available to an even wider range of businesses. 

“With our new parent company, DNV, we are one of the few companies in Europe that can support in challenges related both to IT and OT environments. We are now able to help an increasing number of companies operating in a Microsoft environment to improve their cybersecurity,” says Mickos.
