Partnership with Paradigm Technology Group
On May 11, 2022, Xcitium Security Solutions announced a partnership with IT services provider Paradigm Technology Group. The goal was to offer Xcitium Advanced Endpoint Protection to Paradigm’s global SMB customers amid ransomware and malware threats. Xcitium Chief Revenue Officer Rich Scott said Paradigm then supported more than one million endpoints and served over 650 small and midsize businesses.
Customer environments and threat context
Xcitium’s announcement cited approximately 300,000 new ransomware variants emerging daily and targeting sectors including finance, manufacturing and healthcare, all significant in Paradigm’s customer base. Xcitium AEP assessed unknown files and code in an isolated container while restricting access to live endpoint resources.
Perspectives from Paradigm and Xcitium
Michael Hochberg, Paradigm co-founder and managing partner, said he was confident auto-containment would keep customers’ infrastructure malware-free without affecting end-user experience. Rich Scott, Xcitium CRO, highlighted the scale—more than one million endpoints and over 650 companies—and the opportunity to bring Xcitium protection to those organizations.
Paradigm’s service portfolio
Based in the western suburbs of Chicago, Paradigm provides technology professionals, managed services and IT, voice and data solutions, and cloud services. Its customers include healthcare, financial and government-education organizations. The partnership added endpoint security to that portfolio and let Paradigm offer it through established IT relationships.
