Viasat has announced a key new partnership in the area of cybersecurity. It is teaming up with CYSEC, a cybersecurity company based in France and Switzerland, to work under its ELEVATE program to provide reliable, state-of-the-art cybersecurity tools for satellite communications. As a member of ELEVATE, CYSEC will now have access to Viasat’s growing partner ecosystem and work closely with the company to develop custom cybersecurity solutions for the satellite communications industry. Viasat announced the partnership, Sept. 26.

ELEVATE is a growth program, ecosystem and marketplace for IoT solution providers, connectivity wholesalers, enablers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who want to work with Viasat to use its network and footprint to scale new heights. ELEVATE’s marketplace can help companies attract new customers in locations without reliable connectivity, or those which have mission-critical connectivity needs.

“Our ELEVATE program is continuing to grow with a huge range of technology specialists, but CYSEC is expanding its presence in the critical field of cybersecurity. It is great to have them on board to collaborate with our ecosystem and continue to drive progress,” James Grisbrook, Senior Director, Marketing Communications, Viasat Enterprise, said in a statement.
