Today, organizations are challenged to balance the pursuit of innovation with the demands of mitigating ever-evolving risks. Cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated by the day, while the pressure to modernize infrastructure and applications for cloud scalability becomes increasingly urgent. For many organizations, balancing these competing demands while managing limited in-house resources feels like an uphill battle.
This is the exact crossroads where Arctiq and Google Cloud Security step in—a partnership built to tackle these challenges head-on with a unique blend of advanced technology, security expertise, and a proven track record of delivering results.
In the past decade, cybersecurity has shifted from being an IT consideration to a boardroom priority. Businesses must now fend off an ever-growing list of sophisticated threats targeting endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. Mid-sized organizations often find themselves particularly vulnerable: they lack the expansive budgets of enterprises but face the same risks.
Adding to this complexity is the push for cloud adoption. Migrating to platforms like Google Cloud Security offers immense potential for agility and innovation, but it also comes with technical hurdles. Security teams need to address concerns such as data access, compliance, and ensuring applications are resilient against attacks—all while minimizing downtime and disruption.
For organizations grappling with these twin pressures, extending your security team with expert third-party resources to deliver critical functions like threat detection, incident response, and application modernization can mean the difference between success and stagnation.
At the heart of Arctiq’s approach is an understanding of these real-world pressures. With over a decade of collaboration with Google and Mandiant, Arctiq brings together deep technical expertise and industry-leading tools to help organizations meet their most pressing challenges.
Our industry-leading Arctiq SecureIQ solution delivers proactive, around-the-clock cybersecurity powered by Google Security Operations. Designed to reduce the burden on internal IT teams, this managed service combines advanced threat intelligence, real-time monitoring, and rapid incident response capabilities—all underpinned by a predictable subscription-based pricing model.
What sets SecureIQ apart is its availability in the Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing businesses to seamlessly procure the solution while applying the spend toward their GCP Commitments. This makes SecureIQ not only an operationally robust choice but also a strategic financial one.
“We see so many clients overwhelmed by the sheer volume of alerts and threats they face daily,” explains Richard Baker, Arctiq’s Chief Cybersecurity Strategist. “Our job is to cut through the noise, identify real risk, and act fast to protect our clients.”
But the partnership goes beyond security. For organizations embarking on cloud journeys, Arctiq provides comprehensive migration, deployment, and operational management services for Google Cloud. Whether it’s enabling Kubernetes platforms through Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or leveraging analytics tools like BigQuery, Arctiq ensures clients can seamlessly modernize without compromising security or functionality.
One such example of this partnership in action involved a mid-market organization initially hesitant to invest in a full-stack solution. The client perceived a comprehensive security approach as overly expensive, given their existing tools and resource constraints.
Arctiq addressed these concerns by bundling MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) with Mandiant threat hunting and offering virtual CISO (vCISO) support. This package helped the client replace outdated security tools and reduce operational overhead, while addressing their shortage of in-house expertise.
By delivering a solution that integrated SIEM, SOAR, and cybersecurity managed services, Arctiq transformed the client’s security posture and operational efficiency.
“By bringing together the strengths of Arctiq and Google, we showed the client that security doesn’t have to be a tradeoff between capability and cost,” continued Baker.
The Arctiq-Google partnership also speaks to a broader trend in the industry: the integration of security and data analytics to drive business outcomes. Tools like Google’s BigQuery and Looker allow businesses to analyze and visualize vast amounts of data in real-time, transforming raw information into actionable insights.
But these tools are only as effective as the security measures surrounding them. Arctiq’s approach ensures that every layer—from application pipelines to infrastructure—is fortified with robust security policies. “Data is the foundation of modern business,” explains Jeremy Sherman, Arctiq’s Director of Strategic Partnerships. “Our role is to help organizations not just protect it but leverage it effectively.”
