Summary

• Claritas Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with Assured Data Protection (ADP)

• Malware attacks up 400% in the past year, fuelling the need for near-zero server recovery time

• The partnership will focus on addressing vulnerabilities, enabling businesses to deploy AI-powered solutions as well running annual DR tests

Two Yorkshire-based tech organisations are teaming up to take on the rising wave of cyber threats facing UK businesses. Claritas Solutions, a managed IT solutions company based in Wetherby, has partnered with Assured Data Protection (ADP), another West Yorkshire tech firm. ADP are a global data backup, disaster, and cyber recovery managed services provider (MSP). The ADP partnership strengthens our ability to provide robust, reliable, and fast backup solutions. For companies, this means quicker recovery, minimal downtime, and secure data protection—ensuring business continuity even in the face of unexpected disruptions.

New Partnership

The new partnership will bring Rubrik’s cutting-edge tech to the table, along with flexible financing options and a fully managed service. That means 24/7 tailored support and a robust defence against cyber threats.

As businesses manage more remote locations and more data than ever before, the risks associated with cyber vulnerabilities keep growing. Claritas Solutions and ADP aim to change the game by offering tools like ‘Threat Hunter,’ which not only detect but prevent cyber threats before they cause damage. On top of that, businesses can benefit from annual disaster recovery tests and documentation to meet audit and compliance standards. DR workshops will also help ensure a solid, automated recovery plan that aligns with business expectations.

IoT 2024 Report

With the number of connected devices (laptops, phones, doorbells, etc.) skyrocketing — expected to reach nearly 19 billion by the end of 2024 and a massive 40 billion by 2030 — cybersecurity risks are growing fast. The recent State of IoT 2024 report highlights that malware attacks targeting IoT devices have surged by 400% over the last year. This makes fast, seamless data recovery more important than ever — ideally without the burden of running a costly secondary data centre.

More than Just a Service Provider

At Claritas, we’re more than just a service provider — we’re your IT partner and your tech team. Whether you need straight forward support or complex, end-to-end solutions, we’re here to make your IT work for you. We design infrastructure, build custom software, and create secure solutions both on-premise and in the cloud. When it comes to security and sovereignty, we don’t compromise. It’s about doing business the right way, and our engineers — some of the best in the industry —ensure we succeed where others struggle.

At Claritas, we don’t just design IT solutions — we do it to support and protect the future of UK businesses and services. Our job is to give you peace of mind, whether you’re making efficiencies, securing data, or automate everyday operations.

“We’re really excited to team up with ADP,” said Ben Moorhouse, Head of Sales at Claritas Solutions. “Cyber threats are a big challenge for businesses today. With more and more shadow data — information stored in unmanaged places — and the growing impact of data breaches, companies are at real risk of disruption. Our partnership brings forward innovative and effective solutions that tackle these problems directly.”

The Future

Through this collaboration, businesses can expect:

• Proactive AI threat detection: Continuous, real-time monitoring that spots security breaches and neutralizes them before they become serious issues.

• Seamless integration: Freeing up your IT team to focus on more critical tasks rather than getting bogged down with backup management.

• Scalable protection: Flexible, scalable solutions that grow with your business and ensure continuity, no matter what comes your way.

The hope is that this partnership will help UK businesses stay safe and resilient in the face of growing cyber threats.

“At ADP, we focus exclusively on the IT Channel, partnering with experts who are committed to providing top-notch customer service,” said Sam Blackburn, Sales Channel Director at ADP. “It’s fantastic to collaborate with another great Yorkshire business. We’ve already seen some early successes, and I’m confident we’ll continue building a strong partnership to help businesses protect themselves from cyber threats.”
