Cybersecurity is not just a necessity; it’s a critical lifeline for businesses. HarborShield, a trusted name in telecommunications and IT services, recognized this and expanded into the world of cybersecurity through a strategic partnership with ArmorPoint.
From Telecommunications to Cybersecurity Program Management: A Strategic Shift
Founded in 1995, Harbor Networks, parent company of HarborShield Cybersecurity, began as a regional expert in voice communication solutions. Over the years, their relentless focus on quality service led to an expansion into diverse IT offerings, including infrastructure, switching, routing, firewall, and Wi-Fi solutions. This evolution was not just about growth though; it was a strategic pivot towards offering a holistic approach to technology.
Tackling the Cybersecurity Challenge Head-On
As digital threats escalated, Harbor Networks recognized a crucial need among their clients for robust cybersecurity services. This was not just about adding another service—it was about addressing a critical and growing challenge for businesses reliant on technology. The launch of HarborShield Cybersecurity program management solutions marked a significant step in their commitment to providing comprehensive cyber protection.
A Strategic Partnership with ArmorPoint
The vision for enhanced cybersecurity services was spearheaded by HarborShield’s Chief Information Security Officer, and the decision to partner with ArmorPoint was pivotal. This strategic expansion enabled the integration of managed Security Operations Center (SOC) services, and allowed the HarborShield team to supplement their in-house team with ArmorPoint’s seasoned cybersecurity professionals who could monitor, detect, and respond to threats in real-time.
Seamless Integration and Comprehensive Solutions
HarborShield’s integration with ArmorPoint led to a seamless blend of IT and cybersecurity services, tailored to the specific needs of HarborShield’s clients. This strategic move not only expanded their service portfolio but also strengthened their market position as a comprehensive technology solutions provider.

With the expanded capabilities of identifying and mitigating threats, HarborShield has played a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring business continuity for their clients. The synergy between HarborShield and ArmorPoint has been instrumental in transforming Harbor Networks into a one-stop-shop for telecommunications, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity solutions.
A Testament to Strategic Evolution

By partnering with ArmorPoint, HarborShield has set a new standard in the industry, ensuring that their clients’ digital landscapes remain secure amidst a constantly shifting threat environment.
