Viatel reaches highest Palo Alto Networks partner accreditation

Viatel Technology Group has achieved Diamond Partner status within the Palo Alto Networks NextWave Partner Programme, the highest tier of recognition within the Palo Alto Networks partner ecosystem.

The accreditation recognises Viatel’s deep technical expertise, investment in specialist cyber talent and proven track record in helping enterprise, public sector and highly regulated organisations strengthen their defences against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Operating across Ireland and the UK, Viatel’s Cyber Services division is a leading provider of cybersecurity, managed services and specialist security consultancy. Across government, criminal justice, healthcare, utilities, financial services and the private sector, Viatel supports customers in addressing complex security challenges, navigating evolving compliance requirements and building long-term cyber resilience. Its team works with organisations operating in complex IT and operational technology environments and provides expertise across regulatory and compliance frameworks, including NIS and CAF.

The achievement marks another significant milestone in the continued growth of Viatel’s cybersecurity practice. In July the company announced the acquisition of FullProxy, a specialist Scottish cybersecurity consultancy, further strengthening the group’s expertise, scale and capability across Ireland and the UK.

This accreditation will enable Viatel to deliver even greater value to customers through enhanced security expertise, access to the latest cyber innovations, and strengthened strategic support, helping organisations protect critical assets, manage cyber risk and build long-term resilience.

Paddy Trainor, Managing Director of Cyber Services at Viatel Technology Group, said: “Achieving Diamond Partner status is a landmark moment for Viatel. It validates our team’s deep technical proficiency and our unwavering commitment to defending our clients against sophisticated cyber threats.

“This accreditation reflects the strength of our partnership with Palo Alto Networks and enhances our ability to deliver world-class cybersecurity solutions that help customers strengthen their cyber resilience and operate with confidence in an increasingly challenging threat landscape.”

Adrian Purcell, Country Manager, Ireland, Palo Alto Networks, said: “We are delighted to welcome Viatel Technology Group to our elite group of Diamond Partners. Viatel has repeatedly demonstrated outstanding technical capability, deep market knowledge, and an absolute focus on customer outcomes.

“As enterprise security demands shift toward platformisation, automated SecOps, and Zero Trust frameworks, Palo Alto Networks looks forward to working closely with Viatel to drive market expansion, capture new growth opportunities, and protect our joint customers.”

The accreditation cements Viatel’s position among the leading cybersecurity specialists serving organisations across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK. Backed by continued investment in advanced security capabilities, specialist expertise and strategic growth, the company is helping customers stay ahead of an increasingly complex threat environment while meeting the security, compliance and resilience demands of critical and highly regulated sectors.
