Introducing Cloud9 Security: a new era of Cloud Confidence

At Azured, we’ve always been passionate about empowering businesses to thrive in the digital age. Since our founding in Australia in 2015, and with the establishment of our UK presence in 2019, we’ve been committed to delivering cutting-edge Microsoft Cloud security solutions. Today, we are thrilled to announce the next chapter in our journey: Azured UK is now Cloud9 Security.

This rebrand represents more than just a new name and logo. It’s a reflection of our evolution and a reaffirmation of our mission to empower UK SMEs with robust cloud security solutions that enable fearless innovation.

Why Cloud9 Security?
The rebrand marks a pivotal moment in our growth as a Microsoft Solutions Partner with specialisms in Security and Azure Infrastructure. With the ever-changing landscape of digital threats, we recognised the need to go beyond securing cloud environments to empowering businesses to innovate confidently. Our new name, Cloud9 Security, symbolises the peace of mind we provide – security that gives you the confidence to reach new heights.

As Martin Ferguson, our recently appointed CEO and founder of both the Australian and UK businesses, explains: "The rebrand to Cloud9 Security is about aligning our identity with our purpose. We’re here to transform cloud security from a barrier into a launchpad for innovation. By creating a stress-free and secure technological future, we’re empowering businesses to focus on what truly matters – growth, productivity, and success."
