Amsterdam, Netherlands – July 3, 2025 – Heimdal, a leading European provider of unified, AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, today announced a strategic distribution partnership with Portland, a top-tier IT channel specialist in the Benelux region.
The collaboration gives Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg streamlined access to Heimdal’s award-winning Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform through Portland’s trusted distribution network.
The partnership comes at a time when MSPs face rising costs, cybersecurity complexity, and alert fatigue, with most juggling 11 or more tools to protect their environment.
Heimdal’s integrated platform offers endpoint protection, ransomware defense, patch management, and privileged access management – fully consolidated and tailored for the MSP market.
A shared vision for the MSP community
“Every MSP needs a managed XDR solution – and Heimdal’s technology, European roots, and go-to-market DNA are exactly what the market needs right now” , said George van Brugge, Founder of Portland.
“They understand that MSPs don’t want another aggressive vendor pushing products – they want a partner who helps them consolidate, reduce risk, and increase profitability.”
The alliance also supports Portland’s mission to power high-performance MSPs by reducing cyber-tool sprawl and aligning tech stacks to the NIST 2.0 framework.
“We’re excited to partner with Portland, whose integrity and deep MSP relationships make them an ideal ally,” added Jesper Frederiksen, CEO of Heimdal.
“This collaboration is built on mutual respect, shared values, and a long-term commitment to secure and empower the MSP community in Benelux.”
Initial go-to-market activities will include regional webinars, collaborative security assessments, and in-person events to accelerate partner enablement and customer adoption.
The partnership marks a significant expansion of Heimdal’s European footprint and reinforces its customer-centric, partner-first approach.
