LevelBlue, the world’s largest pure-play managed security services provider, and Fortra, a global leader in cybersecurity software, have entered a long-term strategic partnership. The collaboration combines Fortra’s best-in-class solutions with LevelBlue’s elite managed services, creating a unified offering that addresses the full spectrum of modern cyber threats while delivering defense-in-depth for enterprises and governments.
Central to the agreement is LevelBlue’s acquisition of Fortra’s Alert Logic managed services business, encompassing Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities. This move expands LevelBlue’s MDR platform—already bolstered by recent acquisitions—with additional scale, telemetry, and specialization, enabling faster and more effective threat detection and response across complex, hybrid environments.
In parallel, Fortra becomes one of LevelBlue’s premier cybersecurity partners, extending its portfolio of offensive and defensive security solutions to LevelBlue’s global client base. This integration complements LevelBlue’s strengths in data security, brand protection, email security, and offensive security, providing customers with enhanced optionality and coverage across the attack surface.
“Through the addition of Fortra's Alert Logic MDR services and its role as a leading technology partner, LevelBlue further cements its position as the most complete cybersecurity services partner for businesses,” said Bob McCullen, Chairman and CEO of LevelBlue. “LevelBlue is redefining what it means to be a managed security provider, combining world-class human expertise with AI-powered, platform-led services, to give clients faster detection, smarter response, and long-lasting resilience against threats. We couldn’t be more excited about the broader partnership with Fortra, whose leading offensive and defensive security solutions will be instrumental in our mission to deliver true defense in depth for enterprises, governments, and partners globally.”
Alert Logic customers will transition to LevelBlue’s expanded MDR platform, gaining access to a larger global SOC footprint, broader threat intelligence, and accelerated incident response—all delivered through LevelBlue’s managed services model. Meanwhile, Fortra’s channel-first strategy—highlighted by its Fortra Protect partner program—gains significant momentum as LevelBlue becomes a key delivery partner for Fortra’s software and platforms.
“We are thrilled to partner closely with LevelBlue. They are rapidly emerging as one of the leading managed security services providers in the market, and I am confident that our Alert Logic customers are in good hands,” said Matt Reck, CEO of Fortra. “We are also very excited to be partnering more broadly with LevelBlue. In the incredibly fast-paced cybersecurity market, this combined offering puts the full power of Fortra’s world-class products and LevelBlue’s expertise and exceptional global SOC into our shared customers’ hands, providing them unmatched cybersecurity risk mitigation, scale, and simplicity.”
This partnership positions LevelBlue as the global leader in pure-play managed cybersecurity services, while reinforcing Fortra’s evolution as a channel-centric provider of advanced offensive and defensive solutions. Together, they enable organizations to reduce cyber risk, streamline operations, and achieve stronger, more resilient security postures in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
