High Wire Networks Expands Strategic Alliance with Fluency Security to Strengthen Overwatch Cybersecurity Platform

Enhanced collaboration deepens Overwatch’s AI-driven SIEM and XDR capabilities, delivering faster threat detection, smarter response, and scalable risk reduction for MSP partners and their customers.

BATAVIA, Ill., June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — High Wire Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: HWNI), a leading global provider of managed cybersecurity and IT enablement solutions, today announced the expansion of its strategic alliance with Fluency Security, a pioneer in AI-powered Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR).

By deepening the integration of Fluency’s next-generation platform into High Wire’s award-winning Overwatch suite, the company advances its commitment to delivering hyper-automated, intelligence-led threat defense at scale for managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers.

This strengthened collaboration builds on High Wire’s ongoing innovation across its Overwatch platform, recently highlighted in Forbes and praised for its Risk-as-a-Service model, rapid partner adoption, and AI-driven automation capabilities. Fluency Security’s real-time ingestion engine, advanced behavioral analytics, and hyper-efficient architecture reinforce Overwatch’s mission to equip partners with an “unfair advantage” in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

“Fluency enables us to process and act on data faster and more intelligently than traditional platforms. This gives our MSP partners the speed and confidence they need to protect clients, deliver stronger results, and do more with fewer resources,” said Ed Vasko, CEO of Overwatch.

Fluency Security’s cloud-native design is built for speed and scale, helping Overwatch reduce alert fatigue, minimize false positives, and deliver rich, contextual insights in seconds, not hours. These capabilities amplify Overwatch’s AI-driven detection engine and Risk-as-a-Service framework, driving operational excellence for partners.

“We built Fluency to rethink what SIEM and XDR should look like in the cloud era,” said Chris Jordan, CEO of Fluency Security. “High Wire’s Overwatch platform shows how the right combination of strategy, automation, and intelligence can transform cybersecurity operations. We’re proud to power the next evolution of Overwatch’s success.”

This expanded alliance supports High Wire’s growth trajectory, strengthening partner renewals and recurring revenue through enhanced platform performance and value delivery. Overwatch partners benefit immediately from deeper visibility, faster mean-time-to-detect (MTTD), and actionable intelligence aligned with today’s most pressing cyber risks.

As the industry demands faster response, smarter automation, and tighter alignment with business risk, Fluency Security and Overwatch’s combined strength sets a new benchmark for AI-native managed detection and response.
