First-time entry into the TSD and Trusted Advisor channel expands AVANT’s cybersecurity portfolio with leading provider.
CHICAGO, April 28, 2026 – AVANT, the nation’s premier Technology Services Distributor (TSD) and the leader in IT decision-making, today announces new access to Arctic Wolf, now available through AVANT. The new relationship expands AVANT’s security portfolio while giving Trusted Advisors the opportunity to tap into a leader in the cybersecurity industry.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for the channel, expanding AVANT’s cybersecurity portfolio with Arctic Wolf’s turnkey, AI-led security operations model powered by the Aurora® Superintelligence Platform, including the newly announced Aurora® Agentic SOC. Delivered with AI at the core and humans in and on the loop, the Aurora Agentic SOC is designed to help organizations accelerate detection, investigation, and response while reducing operational burden and uncertainty.
Through this relationship, AVANT Trusted Advisors can meet rising customer demand for continuous, outcome-driven cybersecurity without the need to build or operate a SOC themselves. Arctic Wolf delivers accelerated time-to-value through managed detection and response, vulnerability management and continuous security operations aligned to how modern organizations operate, scale and protect their most critical assets.
The addition of Arctic Wolf also reflects a broader shift in the cybersecurity market. As organizations move away from fragmented point solutions and toward AI-led operationalized security delivered as a service, Trusted Advisors need partners built for this operating model. Arctic Wolf’s entry into the TSD channel through AVANT supports that evolution, giving Advisors a clear path to deliver measurable outcomes, accountability and speed for their customers.
“AVANT continues to attract the providers that define where the market is headed,” said Stephen Semmelroth, VP of Cyber Resilience. “The channel is a smarter path to growth because Trusted Advisors do more than fulfill an immediate request. They uncover adjacent needs, help customers evaluate options with confidence, and accelerate better outcomes. That is exactly the kind of environment innovative vendors want when they enter the TSD and TA channel.”
Will Briggs, SVP, Global Channel Sales at Arctic Wolf, added, “Organizations are looking for security built for rapid onboarding that delivers results they can trust. This relationship with AVANT allows us to equip Advisors with a security operations platform that is designed to deliver immediate value to customers—combining AI‑led detection and response with human expertise to drive stronger, more confident security outcomes. Together, we’re helping businesses stay resilient in an increasingly complex threat landscape.”
This addition builds upon AVANT’s continued investment in high-growth technology categories and its focus on equipping Trusted Advisors with differentiated providers, specialized expertise, and the tools needed to help customers make smarter IT decisions.
