Two Belgian technology companies are joining forces. Amotek, the software and AI company behind the modular AMOTEK STACK, is adding cybersecurity to its platform through a strategic partnership with Jimber, a SASE specialist based in Oostkamp near Bruges.
The move gives Amotek a security layer it did not build in-house, and gives Jimber a route to a broader set of mid-market companies across the Belgian market. Both sides describe the fit as complementary. Amotek develops software and AI applications that pull business data together to support processes and data-driven decisions. Jimber brings network security and Zero Trust expertise. Put those together and Amotek customers get one integrated offer covering software development, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
What Amotek brings to the partnership
Amotek is a Belgian software company that builds tailored digital solutions for organisations through the AMOTEK STACK. The STACK works like a set of building blocks. Customers pick the modules they need and combine them to fit their own processes, without starting every project from scratch.
That modular model is what makes the Jimber addition sit naturally inside the platform. Cybersecurity becomes another block in the STACK rather than a bolt-on tool. For Amotek, this closes a real gap. The company did not previously run a dedicated cybersecurity practice, so bringing in a specialist partner was the faster and more credible route than building the capability from zero.
Amotek has been expanding on several fronts. The company recently acquired Vendorvue, a Ghent-based AI platform for compliance management, which sits alongside the Jimber partnership as part of a wider push to broaden what the STACK can deliver.
Why software companies are adding security to their stack
Software vendors and integrators are increasingly embedding cybersecurity into their platforms rather than leaving it to the customer to source separately. The reason is practical. Mid-market clients want fewer suppliers, one accountable partner, and security that is part of the product rather than a separate project.
For a software company, building a security practice in-house is slow and expensive. It means hiring scarce specialists, maintaining a threat-intelligence capability, and keeping pace with regulation like NIS2 and GDPR. Partnering with a security vendor that already runs a full platform is the shorter path. The customer gets a coherent offer, and the software company keeps ownership of the client relationship.
This is the model behind the Amotek and Jimber partnership. Amotek handles the commercial rollout and the integration of the technology into its existing platform. Jimber provides the security expertise and the underlying SASE platform. Neither company has to become the other to deliver a joined-up service. It is the same logic Jimber applies across its partner network, from integrators like Acom to distributors entering new markets through the NewChannel partnership in the Netherlands.
What Jimber adds to the AMOTEK STACK
Jimber contributes a single-vendor SASE platform that brings the core building blocks of secure access into one console. That includes Zero Trust Network Access for granular access without VPN overhead, a Secure Web Gateway and Firewall-as-a-Service for web traffic protection, SD-WAN for secure site-to-site connectivity, and NIAC hardware that brings agentless devices such as printers, IoT sensors, and industrial machines under Zero Trust control through a secure IT-OT bridge.
Founded in 2018, Jimber protects organisations with roughly 50 to 1,000 employees. The company built its products on the back of real security audits, with a focus on companies that run multiple sites and hybrid teams. Its positioning is deliberately European. Data stays within the EU, which keeps NIS2 and GDPR alignment straightforward, and the platform is built to be run by small IT teams rather than large security operations centres.
For Amotek customers, that means the security block in the STACK is not a thin reseller layer. It is a full platform with transparent pricing and a single-vendor architecture that avoids the tool sprawl most mid-market teams struggle with.
How the two companies split the work
The division of roles is clear, and it is what makes the partnership workable. Each company does what it already does well.
| Responsibility | Amotek | Jimber |
|---|---|---|
| Customer relationship | Owns the commercial rollout | Supports through the partner model |
| Platform integration | Integrates security into the AMOTEK STACK | Provides the SASE platform and APIs |
| Security expertise | Consumes and packages | Delivers the technology and knowledge |
| Market focus | Belgian mid-market | Mid-market across Belgium and beyond |
Kristof Van Stappen, co-founder and CEO of Jimber, framed the value in terms of reach. He said Jimber’s knowledge and products are being taken into the AMOTEK STACK, which lets the company put its expertise to work for a broader group of businesses. He also positioned the tie-up as part of Jimber’s wider ambition to offer European companies a home-grown alternative to the large American vendors, protecting organisations of 50 to 1,000 employees with security that is usable and affordable.
Filip Smet, CEO of Amotek, described the partnership as a logical extension of the platform. He noted that the STACK is built from modular blocks that Amotek combines according to each customer’s needs, and that cybersecurity is an important addition to that mix.
What this means for the market
Both companies want to strengthen their position in the Belgian market, and the combined offer is aimed squarely at organisations that would rather buy software, AI, and security from one accountable partner than assemble it themselves. That is a common preference in the mid-market, where IT teams are lean and every extra supplier adds coordination overhead.
For Jimber, the partnership extends a partner-first model that already runs through its business. Growth comes through integrators, distributors, and now software platforms that embed the technology into their own products. For Amotek, it turns a gap into a differentiator. Security becomes a native part of what the STACK delivers.
If you build software or run an integration business and you are weighing whether to add cybersecurity to your offer, the embed model is worth a look.
