Blazelock Joins the IONOS CLOUD Startup Program

Blazelock is now part of the IONOS CLOUD Startup Program. This gives us the support of an experienced German cloud provider and more room to keep building our malware scanning platform.

More Room to Focus on What Blazelock Does Best

When files enter applications or storage systems, malware detection needs to work reliably. The infrastructure behind it should grow with demand without requiring development teams to build and continuously maintain a complete scanning environment themselves.

The IONOS CLOUD Startup Program supports us on several levels. Cloud credits reduce infrastructure costs during an important stage of growth. Access to the full public cloud portfolio and technical support helps us develop our architecture deliberately. Scalable compute, storage, and network resources also give us the flexibility to build new Blazelock products and integrations on a shared platform.

For our customers, the outcome is straightforward: we can put more energy into malware detection, clear scan results, and simple integrations while the underlying cloud infrastructure grows with us.

European Infrastructure by Choice

IONOS CLOUD is a German provider with proprietary technology infrastructure and data centers in Germany and other European markets. The company positions its cloud around scalability, data protection, and European data sovereignty.

That direction fits Blazelock. For a security platform, infrastructure is not an invisible detail. It is part of the trust customers place in the service. With IONOS, we are building on a European cloud provider while keeping our own focus on making malware protection straightforward and transparent.
