Heartland Business Systems, a Wisconsin-based provider of technology services including integration, consulting and business automation, announced today plans to acquire information security company Pratum, headquartered in Ankeny. “We are thrilled to enter into this agreement with Pratum and bring their unique services, talent, and expertise in cybersecurity to HBS,” said Peter Helander, HBS CEO, in a news release. “Now, more than ever, strong cyber defense is vital in protecting organizations of all sizes across all industries. The Pratum team will add additional superior cybersecurity solutions so we will be even better equipped to safeguard clients against cyberattacks.” Pratum provides cybersecurity consulting services, security assessments and SOC/XDR services for clients in the U.S. and internationally, ranging from small businesses to multinational corporations, the release said. “Organizations need help solving cybersecurity and technology challenges, and they want that help to come from one provider. The joining of Pratum with HBS enables us to bring to market an end-to-end cybersecurity and technology service that strengthens security, improves operations, and simplifies the lives of our clients,” said Jordan Engbers, president of Pratum. The acquisition of Pratum announced in February by Infinite Group was not completed, a Pratum spokesperson said in an email.
