Steve Bomberger, Head of SEI Sphere, said:

"Complex supply chains, interconnected endpoints, and the pace of digital transformation put a spotlight on organizations' exposure to risk—especially in the manufacturing sector. Organizations increasingly need a comprehensive platform that manages both cyber risk and network operations. With our organizational stability, quality of talent, and depth of resources, we're thrilled to support IXS Holdings' growth by enabling them to scale their IT capabilities and support their needs.

"Network-level visibility and a single-provider model improves efficiency and expands the breadth and depth of cybersecurity, allowing us to identify vulnerabilities quickly and remediate when necessary—and we're excited to explore opportunities to accelerate our company's growth."

Francis Mushi, Vice President of Information Technology at IXS Coatings, said:

"In a space where the vendor network is sprawling, digital innovation outpaces security, and any amount of downtime could have serious consequences, the manufacturing sector is one of the most targeted sectors for cybercrime. Building and maintaining our network and security operations is critical to enabling efficiency and scale in a multi-national environment—and working with a single provider allows us to focus more time on serving our customers. We look forward to working with SEI to streamline, optimize, and protect our operational integrity and drive future growth."
