– Julian Nash, Managing Director with SVB’s Frontier Tech Group

“Pivoting to Rhombus for over 100+ locations throughout the US, EMEA, and APAC has increased our situational awareness, freed up resources and reliance on a bulky server footprint, allowing us to focus our resources on other enhancements. In short, we’ve gained a valuable partner in Rhombus.”

– Pete Ignatowicz, Senior Manager of Security Services at Ameriprise Financial, praised Rhombus for its transformative impact

This investment is the beginning of a long-term partnership.”
