Two Atlantic Canadian–rooted technology leaders  - Mariner and Sonrai Security - have officially joined forces to help organizations tackle one of the most urgent challenges of digital transformation: securing identities and access across multi-cloud environments.

With cloud adoption accelerating across every industry, identity sprawl and privilege exposure remain persistent points of vulnerability. This new partnership brings together complementary strengths to help enterprises modernize with confidence.

Strengthening Cloud Identity From the Ground Up

At the core of the collaboration is a shared commitment to redefining how organizations protect their data, people, and systems as they scale in the cloud.

• Mariner contributes decades of experience in cloud strategy, analytics, and enterprise transformation — helping organizations adopt new technologies sustainably and securely.

• Sonrai Security, founded by New Brunswicker Sandy Bird, delivers a platform purpose-built for governing identities, permissions, and privileged access across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Together, the companies will help enterprises eliminate excessive permissions, automate least-privilege controls, and maintain compliance in complex environments — without slowing innovation.

A Collaboration Rooted in Trust and Shared Vision

Although the partnership is newly formalized, the relationship between the teams goes back years. Both organizations emerged from Atlantic Canada’s strong engineering and cybersecurity talent, and both have a long history of solving hard technical problems at global scale.

This history forms the foundation of the partnership today: a shared belief that secure digital transformation begins with visibility, governance, and smart automation.

“Our work with Sonrai Security enables organizations to advance faster and safer in the cloud,” said Paul Eisner, President of Mariner Innovations. “We’re combining deep technical expertise to help clients protect what matters most as they grow.”

“Mariner’s track record and regional strength make them an excellent partner,” added Brendan Hannigan, CEO and co-founder of Sonrai Security. “Together, we can help enterprises adopt cloud identity best practices without disrupting developers or slowing innovation.”

Impact Across Key Industries

The new partnership will support organizations in sectors where identity and access governance are mission-critical, including: Healthcare, Utilities and energy, Telecommunications, Financial services, Government and public sector, and Education.

Clients will gain access to integrated guidance across strategy, implementation, analytics, and ongoing security operations.
