Microsoft partner Mobliciti acquired by Kocho

A statement says the deal will see Mobliciti’s mobile security expertise 'complement and enhance' Kocho’s existing services capabilities

Cloud transformation and cybersecurity provider Kocho has acquired Mobliciti as it looks to grow its service portfolio.

Founded in 2009, Mobliciti specialises in enterprise mobility, security and wireless connectivity solutions.

A statement says the deal will see Mobliciti's mobile security expertise "complement and enhance" Kocho's existing services capabilities.

"The deal adds strategic mobile management and security capabilities to Kocho's growing service portfolio, allowing customers of both organisations to benefit from an end-to-end range of best-in-class services that will further accelerate their digital transformation programmes," it added.

CEO and co-founder of Mobliciti, Shane Taylor, said the move brings "new and exciting capabilities to our customer base".

"Just as importantly, its steadfast focus on being a great place to work, where people collaborate and are celebrated for all their contributions, really chimes with our own values and provides a solid foundation for future growth," he added.

"Kocho is hugely ambitious and on an impressive growth trajectory, so we are delighted to be joining it at such an exciting time."

Kocho was launched in April 2022 following the amalgamation of TiG Data Intelligence and cyber security specialist ThirdSpace.

It is a Microsoft Gold Partner for security, a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, and winner of the Microsoft Partner of the Year Award for Identity and Cyber Security.

CEO Des Lekerman said he is "thrilled" to welcome Mobliciti to the group.

He added: "For many organisations, mobile devices represent their soft underbelly, providing criminals easy access to corporate data; they are also complex and costly to manage.

"With Mobliciti onboard, Kocho can now help organisations tackle the mobile challenge as part of their overall digital transformation and security strategies. This will enable us to add even more value to our customers, as well as deliver growth by opening up new markets."
