OAKS,
Pa., March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
SEI® (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced that it will manage
IXS Holdings, Inc.'s cybersecurity and network operations through
SEI Sphere®. Owned by Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., IXS
Holdings is a leading manufacturer for automotive components and
industrial markets across the Americas, APAC, and EMEA regions. SEI
Sphere provides comprehensive cybersecurity and IT solutions
designed to protect and optimize enterprise technology and
data.
Following a thorough selection process, IXS Holdings selected
SEI Sphere to manage its network and security operations in a
multi-national environment across 35 branch plants in the U.S. and
Canada. SEI Sphere's network
operation services, coupled with its cybersecurity program, will
support better operational outcomes by streamlining network
monitoring and management, threat detection, intelligence, and

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."
