BCI acquires cybersecurity consultancy Trustlink Technologies
Business Communications Inc. (BCI), a Ridgeland, MS-based cybersecurity consulting firm, has acquired Trustlink Technologies, a Harrisburg, PA-based cybersecurity consulting firm.
Launched in 2023, Trustlink comprises Jon Kraft, founder and managing director, and Dan Brandt, principal network security consultant.
The firm provides a variety of services in network security, enterprise network, and cybersecurity – including penetration testing, security event management, endpoint security, firewalls, authentication services, routing services, and network monitoring.
Trustlink holds four specializations in Fortinet – a provider of security solutions including firewalls, endpoint security, and intrusion detection systems.
BCI’s acquisition of Trustlink will expand its presence into Pennsylvania. The firm has two offices in Mississippi as well as an office in Little Rock, Arkansas.
“We are thrilled to welcome Trustlink into the BCI family. Their commitment to operational excellence, technical acumen, and a people-centered culture aligns perfectly with our core values,” said Jonathan Hollingshead, CEO of BCI. “We eagerly anticipate expanding our footprint on the East Coast in the upcoming months and leveraging this partnership to drive success for our clients and team members alike.”
BCI focuses on Fortinet solutions. The expert partner holds all eight specializations for the platform: cloud security, operational technology, SASE, SD-WAN, secure networking firewall, secure networking LAN, security operations, and zero trust network access.
BCI has nearly 1,000 clients, including 500 managed services clients.
The firm was founded in 1993 and has grown to over 140 employees.
“We have closely observed BCI’s impressive growth and success, and we’ve formed strong relationships with many of their team members over the past year,” Kraft said. “When the chance to unite our companies arose, we knew that BCI was our ideal partner. This collaboration will offer our clients unparalleled resources and expertise while accelerating the growth of our employees.”
