CYE and ALSO Group Expand Cybersecurity Partnership to Arm Europe’s SMBs Against Emerging Threats

To fortify Europe’s small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) against rising cyber threats and mounting regulatory pressure, cybersecurity firm CYE has expanded its strategic alliance with ALSO Group—Europe’s largest technology provider. The collaboration introduces CYE’s advanced cyber exposure management platforms, Hyver and Solvo, to 32 countries across the continent, reshaping how cybersecurity is delivered through managed service providers (MSPs).

This partnership is not just about scale—it’s about strategic timing. With the EU tightening enforcement through directives like NIS2 and DORA, SMBs face new compliance burdens without enterprise-sized budgets or security teams. CYE’s data-driven platforms promise to fill that gap by bringing actionable cyber risk quantification, posture management, and maturity assessments to the SMB segment via ALSO’s extensive channel network.

“With the new CYE products, we enhance our cybersecurity ecosystem and democratize advanced cybersecurity solutions,” said Jan Bogdanovich, Managing Director Commercial Business at ALSO. “This enables channel partners to guard organizations of all sizes effectively and justify investments exactly where protection is needed.”

CYE’s flagship product, Hyver, translates exposure into financial impact, allowing MSPs to prioritize mitigation based on business risk rather than technical noise. This shift from a tools-centric to an outcomes-centric model reflects a broader trend in cybersecurity, where ROI clarity is becoming as critical as breach prevention.

By integrating Solvo, CYE’s Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution, the partnership also targets a blind spot for many SMBs: cloud infrastructure misconfigurations. These vulnerabilities are increasingly targeted by attackers who exploit the lack of visibility and fragmented control in cloud-first environments.

“This collaboration gives organizations immediate visibility into requirements and provides a clear, optimized path to achieving effective compliance with new regulations,” said Reuven Aronashvili, CYE’s Founder and CEO. “By combining ALSO’s robust support and services with our innovative solution, we are enabling MSPs to pinpoint exactly where their customers need to invest to strengthen cyber resilience, tailored to their industry, threat landscape, and unique business needs.”

CYE’s approach isn’t just about spotting vulnerabilities—it’s about translating those into board-ready metrics. Hyver generates customized reporting that allows MSPs and security teams to track exposure over time, benchmark maturity, and communicate risk reduction in clear financial terms.

For ALSO, the partnership reflects a larger pivot from transactional IT distribution to value-added services. The company’s ecosystem already spans over 135,000 resellers and more than 800 vendors, but this expansion gives its partners a differentiated security edge in a market where compliance, cloud transformation, and operational resilience are converging.

As geopolitical instability and regulatory scrutiny escalate in tandem, Europe’s SMBs are finding themselves in the crosshairs. The CYE-ALSO alliance could serve as a blueprint for how large-scale distribution and specialized security expertise can intersect to protect the long tail of the digital economy—one quantified risk at a time.
