Nord Security, a provider of advanced cybersecurity solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with ACA Pacific, a value-added distributor of IT hardware and software across the Asia-Pacific region. This alliance, announced on October 6, 2025, equips managed service providers and resellers with Nord Security's business suite products to combat escalating cyber threats, particularly in high-risk areas like Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
The Asia-Pacific region faces intensifying cyber risks, with IBM's threat intelligence report highlighting it as the epicenter of 34% of investigated incidents worldwide. Common tactics such as ransomware, malware deployment, reconnaissance tools, and server access exploits underscore the urgent need for robust defenses. This partnership positions Nord Security and ACA Pacific to deliver integrated solutions that mitigate these vulnerabilities, enabling MSPs and resellers to fortify client operations against evolving attacks.
"We are proud to partner with ACA Pacific, a renowned and highly experienced distributor for the APAC region," says Aivaras Artiskevicius, channel sales director for EMEA and APAC regions at Nord Security. "This collaboration marks a significant step in Nord Security's mission to advance robust cybersecurity adoption globally, with a strategic focus this year on entering the APAC region, particularly Australia. To support this growth, we are expanding our distribution network and onboarding additional talent to deliver exceptional service across the region."
By aligning Nord Security's innovative tools with ACA Pacific's established distribution channels, the alliance ensures faster deployment and localized support, helping businesses in the region achieve comprehensive threat protection.
ACA Pacific's partners now have immediate access to three key Nord Security products via the marketplace, forming a cohesive cybersecurity package. NordPass serves as a next-generation password manager, employing the XChaCha20 encryption algorithm to safeguard credentials and streamline access management for teams. NordLayer offers a versatile network security platform that merges zero trust network architecture, secure web gateways, and firewall-as-a-service into a unified, cloud-native security service edge solution, ideal for remote and hybrid workforces.
Complementing these, NordStellar provides proactive threat exposure management by drawing on one of the largest deep and dark web datasets to deliver real-time intelligence on vulnerabilities affecting employees, customers, brands, and infrastructure. Together, these offerings address password risks, network perimeters, and exposure monitoring, creating layered defenses that enhance overall resilience.
“We’re excited to partner with Nord Security, a global leader in cybersecurity. This collaboration gives ACA Pacific’s partners access to powerful tools such as NordPass, NordLayer, and NordStellar, which help to tackle major security challenges in the ANZ region. These solutions are easy to use, scalable, and designed to protect businesses from growing cyber threats,” said Mark Gill, general manager of ACA Pacific Australia and New Zealand.
This integration not only simplifies procurement for partners but also equips them with training and rapid support, fostering stronger client relationships and enabling scalable cybersecurity adoption.
The partnership emphasizes Nord Security's 2025 priority of penetrating the APAC market, starting with Australia and extending to Southeast Asia. ACA Pacific's extensive network ensures that MSPs and resellers can efficiently incorporate these solutions, backed by joint resources for implementation and optimization. Non-partners can join via the ACA Pacific marketplace to expand their portfolios and capitalize on the demand for user-friendly, scalable cybersecurity tools.
As cyber threats proliferate, this collaboration empowers regional businesses to stay ahead, reducing breach risks and operational disruptions while driving long-term security maturity across the APAC landscape.
