The supermarket chain, known for their client-focused approach in shopping, has extended this focus to the digital field as well. The aim of Jumbo is to create a safe environment for both customers and employees alike. With Northwave as their cyber security partner, this process will be guided and safeguarded in an efficient and cost effective manner. 

Tim Hehenkamp, Director Digital at Jumbo: “We are pleased to have entered into this partnership with Northwave. This allows us to take our security capabilities to an even higher level in a strong safe and cost-effective manner. A secure digital environment for our customers and employees is of great importance in an ever-changing security threat landscape.”

The long-standing collaboration between Northwave and Jumbo allows both parties to get familiar with one another, their goals and ways of operating, optimising their productivity and improving their potential for success. 

Steven Dondorp, CEO of Northwave: “We are proud to provide ‘A Safe Digital Journey’ to the customers and employees of such a widely spread organisation as Jumbo and enhance their security posture. I am confident that we will provide a meaningful contribution to their goals, and I am looking forward to our collaboration.” 

Looking ahead, both Northwave and Jumbo are committed to their ongoing efforts to fortify the cyber defences. Both parties are eager to explore initiatives to further strengthen the cyber security posture and ensure long-term resilience against evolving threats.
