Redstor and TitanHQ combine to deliver an integrated cybersecurity and data protection platform targeting $100M ARR by 2028
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025 / Bregal Milestone today announced the launch of CyberSentriq, an integrated cybersecurity and data protection platform purpose-built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and the customers they service.
CyberSentriq is formed through the acquisition of TitanHQ and its merger with Redstor, a Bregal Milestone portfolio company. The new unified platform is targeting $100m in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by 2028 through organic and inorganic growth strategies.
Redstor and TitanHQ have long been recognized for providing best-of-breed cybersecurity and data protection solutions to over 3,000 MSPs, protecting more than 150,000 small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) worldwide. CyberSentriq unifies these complementary, award-winning solutions into a single integrated platform, empowering MSPs with AI-driven threat detection, cloud-based backup and recovery, advanced email and web security, security awareness training, and secure email archiving and encryption.
James Griffin, CEO of CyberSentriq, stated, "We're setting a new standard for MSP-first cybersecurity. MSPs safeguarding the critical SMB economy are underserved and have been let down by vendors out of touch with their day-to-day needs. CyberSentriq changes that. By uniting two key companies known for technology and service excellence, we're giving MSPs exactly what they need - comprehensive protection without compromising quality, partnership, or performance."
Ronan Kavanagh, CRO at CyberSentriq, added, "We are combining two hugely successful companies, whose success is driven by a fundamental understanding of the MSP, their needs, and how we create value for them. We're here to eradicate operational drag and provide MSPs with proactive cybersecurity, data protection, and operational resilience, providing a value enablement platform allowing them to better serve their customers."
John Hales, Managing Director at Bregal Milestone, said, "SMBs face increasingly sophisticated AI-driven cyber-attacks, and MSPs urgently need integrated solutions to combat these challenges. By uniting the exceptional strengths and proven track records of Redstor and TitanHQ, CyberSentriq stands ready to lead the next wave of cybersecurity innovation, providing MSPs and their clients with a complete cyber offering for offensive and defensive security, threat mitigation, and recovery."
Backed by a lender syndicate led by HSBC Innovation Banking and J.P. Morgan, CyberSentriq is strategically positioned to achieve accelerated global growth.

Opening of new Alstom plant in Hornell puts city at center of worldwide rail industry

Hornell was at the epicenter of the global rail car industry on June 2 with the official opening of Alstom's state-of-the-art, 135,000 square foot car shell manufacturing plant on Shawmut Drive State, federal, county and city officials were on hand for a ribbon cutting for Plant 4 and the building's dedication to the late James Griffin, the pioneering long-time leader of the Hornell Industrial Development Agency. It was a day clearly set aside for celebrating. Alstom employees and managers, local and state officials and regional economic development leaders basked in the completion of Plant 4 under bright sunshine. "This is a proud day for Hornell and just the beginning of what we can accomplish when we work together," Hornell Mayor John Buckley said. Alstom Hornell Site Manager Victor Ionescu said he was "privileged" to be involved with the Plant 4 project since its inception, calling it a new milestone in the city's long connection to rail travel. 'Hornell has been a rail town for 170 years and we are very proud of that history. That history has been built with the cooperation and the partnership of everybody here today," Ionescu said. "We thank you for everything you have done to make this moment possible." Alstom spent $75 million and worked with 40 unique contractors to build and outfit the facility, one of the few advanced manufacturing facilities in the United States capable of producing stainless steel car body shells for passenger rail vehicles. Buckley said Plant 4 marks a "landmark investment" in the future of the city. He said the plant's completion helps place Hornell at the "epicenter" of the global rail car industry. "This facility represents not just steel and concrete, but opportunity, growth and a bright path forward for Alstom and the City of Hornell," Buckley said. "With the creation of an estimated 250 new jobs, Plant 4 is game changer for our community." Buckley said the high-quality new jobs "will support families, strengthen the workforce and drive new economic vitality throughout Hornell and the surrounding region." Hope Knight, president, CEO and commissioner of Empire State Development, praised Alstom's growth in New York state and its support for "good paying union jobs" in the Southern Tier. In a statement, Sen. Charles Schumer said, 'Today, Alstom solidifies the Southern Tier and New York state as the beating heart for its North American operations. I've long fought to support Alstom's growth in Steuben County and will continue to fight to ensure Hornell has the resources it needs to be one of the nation's main hubs for rolling stock manufacturing.' In 2021, Schumer secured a $3.4 million federal grant from the Economic Development Administration to the Hornell IDA to make improvements to the Shawmut Park site, paving the way for the expansion. Michael Keroullé, President, Alstom Americas, said it was a 'beautiful day' for the City of Hornell. Keroullé expressed his gratitude to leaders and officials at all levels of government for what he said was their "unwavering support and commitment" to rail manufacturing expansion in the Southern Tier. More: Alstom's $75M Hornell facility now operational. Why it marks new era in rail manufacturing And Keroullé said Plant 4 'reinforces (Alstom's) strong commitment to American manufacturing" and job creation. "Good jobs are the foundation for thriving communities," he added. In January 2021, Alstom was awarded an up-to $1.8 billion contract by Metra, the commuter rail system that serves the Chicago metropolitan area Plant 4 is expected to be a key component in building rail cars for Metra, as well as other company projects. Alstom provided tours of the facility following the formal inauguration of Plant 4.

U.S. SMBs Say Payment Innovation Is Key Driver of Growth

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to new research, 'Balancing the Books', from leading payments platform Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), an overwhelming 96% of U.S. small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) accepting in-person transactions plan to upgrade their payments technology in the next 12 months. Despite some economic challenges, SMBs remain optimistic and view payment innovation, including e-commerce, as critical to their future growth as well as overcoming cash flow and fraud issues. Based on a survey of 1,000 SMBs across industries — from retail, food/beverage to healthcare, construction, auto, beauty/wellness, and professional services — the report reveals that 92% of businesses feel positive about their future. Over half (51%) expect revenue to grow by more than 20% over the next year. SMBs see payments as a critical driver of growth, with 82% considering a good payment experience a non-negotiable feature. Some merchants place an even greater emphasis on the payment experience, especially those in the beauty/wellness (90%), retail (89%), and food/beverage (86%) industries. Optimizing the payment experience is closely tied to checkout innovation plans. Over the next year, 52% of SMBs expect to upgrade their point of sale (POS) system to support mobile and contactless payments, with 47% diversifying to include mobile POS terminals. The same proportion of merchants (47%) plan to integrate their payment systems with another business software. SMBs are laser focused on unifying their systems, with 82% having integrated their payment tech with accounting software, 72% with a customer relationship management (CRM) tool, and 66% with an inventory management system. Payment security is also top of mind for SMBs, with 77% expressing concerns. There's no surprise that 47% want to bolster payment security over the next 12 months. SMBs continue to embrace e-commerce. Today, only 30% of SMBs don't sell online, but two-thirds of these holdouts plan to diversify into e-commerce within the next 12 months. Of the 70% of SMBs offering online purchasing, all but 10% have plans to expand this. Beyond specific plans for next year, SMBs hope to benefit from cutting-edge payments tech. Close to half (46%) see value in instant or real-time payments, while 41% express an interest in 'tap on phone' for POS, which converts salespeople's smartphones or tablets into contactless terminals. Even artificial intelligence (AI) is catching SMBs' attention. Three-quarters (75%) believe AI has an important role to play in processing their business's payments, with even more (79%) emphasizing its value in combating fraud. Due to their vulnerability to cash flow issues and slow payment settlement times, SMBs are intensely focused on payment innovation. A third of SMBs (32%) cite payment settlement delays as a major cash flow disruptor, rising highest (37%) among larger merchants (101-250 employees). As a result of cash flow challenges, 42% of all SMBs have had to delay paying vendors or their own employees. Overall, payment service providers (PSPs) appear to be effectively supporting SMBs, with 90% satisfied with their provider. But there's no room for complacency from PSPs, with 60% of merchants encountering a payment processing issue at least once a month. Aside from failed payments, SMBs identify chargebacks and disputed payments (an issue for 30%) and, above all, high interchange fees (48%) as their biggest processing challenges. 'Small and medium-sized businesses have long played an essential role in the American economy, and it's great to see in our new research report, 'Balancing the Books', that SMBs' positive outlook is underpinned by their strong belief in the value of payment tech and e-commerce,' commented Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe. 'Whether it's upgrading their point-of-sale terminals to support mobile and contactless payments, expanding into online sales, or improving transactional security, payment innovation is enabling SMBs to strengthen the customer experience and ultimately increase revenue to better manage cash flow issues.' About Paysafe's 2025 'Balancing the Books' research report Paysafe's 'Balancing the Books' research report is based on a survey conducted on behalf of Paysafe by Sapio Research. The survey, conducted in March and April 2025, included responses from 1,000 senior decision-makers, including owners, at U.S.-based businesses with fewer than 250 employees. Businesses in the following industries were included in the survey: professional services (22% of respondents); construction (15%); food/beverage (15%); retail (11%); home/field services (8%); healthcare (7%); beauty/wellness (5%); property/real estate (4%); automotive (4%); and other industries (10%).
