BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Thrive, a global technology outsourcing provider for cybersecurity, Cloud, and IT managed services, today announced the acquisition of Safety Net, a leading Michigan-based IT services firm. With the acquisition, Thrive will expand its reach to the Midwest, enabling Safety Net’s customers to have access to Thrive’s industry-leading global Security Operation Center (SOC) & Hybrid Cloud solutions.

Thrive’s mission is to empower their customers to harness the promise of technology, achieving success by proactively utilizing IT, cybersecurity, and Cloud best practices to drive ROI and desired business outcomes for their valued clients.
