At BATIC 2026, Henox and Nexusguard announced a strategic partnership to integrate AI-ready digital infrastructure with world-class DDoS protection for the APAC and Indian markets.
- Strategic alliance between Henox (Infrastructure) and Nexusguard (Cybersecurity).
- Focus on delivering integrated, AI-ready data centers and DDoS mitigation.
- Targeting enterprises, cloud providers, and telcos across India and APAC.
In a landmark announcement during BATIC 2026 in Bali, Indonesia, Henox, a leader in sustainable digital infrastructure, and Nexusguard, a global powerhouse in DDoS protection, have entered into a strategic alliance. This partnership is designed to provide a unified, enterprise-grade portfolio that merges high-performance compute with uncompromising security.
The synergy between the two companies addresses a critical gap in the current market: the fragmentation of infrastructure and security services. By converging Henox's AI-ready connectivity fabric with Nexusguard's globally proven cyber defense expertise, the alliance allows businesses to deploy hyper-resilient architectures at scale without the friction of managing multiple vendors.
The Integrated Service Portfolio
The partnership divides responsibilities to ensure maximum efficiency. Henox provides the physical and digital foundation, offering everything from Layer 1 Optical Wave and SD-WAN to Tier III/IV Data Centers and GPU-as-a-Service. On the other hand, Nexusguard secures this ecosystem using AI-powered detection and a massive 3 Tbps+ global scrubbing network.
| Component | Henox Contribution | Nexusguard Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Core Focus | Digital Foundation & Compute | Cyber Resilience & Defense |
| Key Assets | Subsea Cables, AI Data Centers | Bastions Tech, Scrubbing Centers |
| Value Prop | Scalability & Connectivity | Availability & Threat Intelligence |
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that the rapid proliferation of AI workloads is creating a new vulnerability surface for enterprises. Traditional security layers often struggle to keep pace with the throughput requirements of AI. By embedding security directly into the infrastructure fabric, Henox and Nexusguard are effectively 'future-proofing' digital growth in emerging markets.
"Our partnership with Henox reflects our approach of working with trusted regional leaders to deliver stronger cybersecurity outcomes in the markets that matter most." — Andy Ng, CEO, Nexusguard
Historically, the industry has seen a separation between the 'plumbing' (connectivity) and the 'shield' (security). This alliance marks a shift toward a holistic ecosystem where the infrastructure is inherently secure, reducing the time-to-market for AI-driven enterprise transformations.
