DigitalXRAID Launches into ANZ and APAC Through Strategic Partnership with Aquion
UK-based cyber security consultancy expands international footprint, bringing CREST accredited services to the ANZ and APAC channel.
News Release
DigitalXRAID, an award-winning managed security service provider, today announced its official launch into Australia, New Zealand, and the wider Asia Pacific region through a strategic partnership with Aquion, a leading value-added software distributor with more than 25 years’ experience operating across ANZ/APAC.
The partnership marks a significant milestone in DigitalXRAID’s international growth strategy, enabling MSPs and VARs across the region to offer trusted, independent cyber security services — starting with penetration testing — without the cost or complexity of building those capabilities in-house.
Through Aquion’s established channel ecosystem, DigitalXRAID will deliver outcome-driven, CREST accredited cyber security services that partners can confidently position to their end customers. These services include penetration testing, red teaming, incident readiness and response, compliance and consultancy, all designed for a channel-first delivery model that preserves partner ownership of the customer relationship.
Jason Douglas, Head of Channel at DigitalXRAID said:
“This partnership is about making cyber security simpler, scalable, and commercially viable for the channel. Aquion has an exceptional understanding of how the ANZ/APAC channel operates, and a proven ability to help partners successfully introduce new services. Together, we’re enabling partners to grow high-value security revenue while delivering meaningful security outcomes for customers.”
For Aquion, the partnership introduces immediate access to independent, assurance-led cyber security services underpinned by recognised industry accreditations, including CREST. This is particularly important in areas such as penetration testing and advisory services, where independence, credibility, and trust are critical.
Samantha Zhang, Channel Account Manager at Aquion added:
“Aquion has always focused on helping partners grow by removing friction and complexity. By partnering with DigitalXRAID, we can now extend that approach into cyber security services, giving our partners access to proven, trusted capabilities that complement their existing offerings and meet growing customer demand. A practical advantage of the partnership is DigitalXRAID’s UK-based delivery model. Much of the testing and reporting work can be completed overnight, allowing progress to continue while the ANZ market is offline. This reduces disruption for customers and improves turnaround times for partners.”
By combining Aquion’s regional reach and channel execution with DigitalXRAID’s service-led cyber security expertise, the partnership supports organisations across ANZ/APAC in strengthening cyber resilience, while enabling partners to grow confidently and sustainably in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
