Accelerating and Securing IT Service Delivery
Gene Villeneuve, SVPBuilt on cloud technologies, Tehama’s SaaS-based platform is tuned for accelerating the time to IT service delivery and enabling organizations to monitor the activities carried out by the consultants or contractors accessing their corporate assets. “We had to make sure that everything these third-party service providers do when they are working on a company’s platform is highly secure and is timely audited,” explains Gene Villeneuve, Senior VP of the Tehama Business Unit. The Tehama platform also proves significant for the IT service vendors, enabling them to onboard customers in a secure manner. The company thus assures significant benefits to the customers—the buyers of IT services—and the service providers, with its two-sided platform.
Tehama’s “ready-to-work” platform allows organizations to create a secure virtual perimeter (room) around workspaces in the cloud, in which third-party contractors can securely deliver their services. Administrators of these perimeters, have the authority to grant access to contractors and assign virtual laptops or systems. “It is a secure software-defined perimeter controlled by organizations wherein companies can set up several virtual work environments for securely accessing different corporate assets.
We had to make sure that everything these third-party service providers do when they are working on a company’s platform is highly secure and is timely audited
As clients may create more than one virtual environment, we enable them to perform network segregation and application isolation to restrict consultants from accessing environments and corporate networks to which they don’t have access,” says Villeneuve. Access can also be regulated through confidentiality policies which must be accepted by contractors before access is granted and work may begin. The platform tracks all the activities of individuals accessing the platform, thereby allowing organizations to view all actions performed by their service providers.
Tehama also has privileged credential secret vaults that secure login credentials for corporate networked assets. These secret vaults allow clients to create a secret mechanism where usernames and passwords can be isolated to a particular virtual work environment and made available to third-party vendors, fully under the control of the administrator. As contractors are unable to directly access the secure administrative credentials, they are protected from tampering, eliminating the possibility of password theft.
With such a broad set of security and accessibility features as these, Tehama has helped a significant number of clients securely deliver several IT projects. Pythian is a global IT service provider and has benefited significantly by relying exclusively on the Tehama platform. Since Tehama’s inception, Pythian has relied on the company’s platform to deliver its services to their customers rather than asking customers to ship laptops. “Our partnership with Pythian has grown rapidly due to this highly secure platform and the speed with which we can accelerate and secure the delivery of our services to our clients,” states Villeneuve.
Having spent merely two years in the market, Tehama has gained rapid traction in the US and has grown its footprint to include Ireland and Sydney. Going forward, the company plans to expand delivery centers in Montreal and Frankfurt. Further technical growth to the platform will include leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology to bolster its capabilities.

Tehama and Wursta Announce Strategic Global Partnership
OTTAWA, ONTARIO– Tehama Technologies, provider of the leading all-in-one cybersecurity platform for secure access to data and applications, has established a strategic alliance with Wursta, a premier cloud consulting and implementation firm. Together, the two companies will provide enterprises worldwide with comprehensive and scalable security, compliance, and governance solutions that are tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses.
Tehama Plus Wursta Partnership
“Our partnership with Tehama is a core part of our go-to-market strategy, which is to leverage innovative and disruptive technologies that empower businesses to more effectively and efficiently manage their cybersecurity challenges and optimize their remote work strategies,” said Matt Wursta, Founder and CEO, Wursta. “Tehama is a game-changing addition to our portfolio of cloud offerings, and our collaboration with their team is unparalleled. Their professionalism and expertise have empowered us to make an even more positive impact for our customers through their simple yet highly effective solutions for securing the modern workforce.”
Security, Compliance, and Governance on One Platform
Building, securing, delivering, and maintaining cloud-delivered applications and infrastructure using traditional approaches requires evaluating multiple vendors, going through procurement cycles for each vendor, integrating selected technologies, and defining and creating effective management, governance, compliance, and risk strategies. All of this is highly complex, expensive, and hard to maintain, let alone scale.
Tehama’s innovative and disruptive solution addresses these challenges head-on, enabling businesses to instantly create and provision secure workspaces, apply policy-based governance and security, and achieve operationalization in less than an hour.
“Tehama enforces strong security within businesses with remote or BYOD needs. With their platform, our clients see a significant reduction in management overhead and can enforce zero trust capabilities without impacts to usability,” said Pete Hoff, CISO, Wursta. “Further, Tehama’s user experience and performance of the platform is impressive.”
“Tehama is proud to be partnering with Wursta. Our combined strengths will enable organizations around the globe to address their ever-growing security challenges with a solution that is easy to adopt, manage and scale,” said Mick Miralis, Chief Revenue Officer, Tehama.
“Tehama’s cloud-based cybersecurity platform simplifies the complexities of building, maintaining, and securing applications and data, while reducing costs and returning valuable time and resources to the business. Combined with Wursta’s cloud consulting services, business can rapidly deploy compliant, properly provisioned digital workspace environments, while at the same time tackling broader security concerns such as protecting intellectual property, and ensuring secure DevOps operations.”
Tehama’s all-in-one platform leverages its proprietary P5 architecture to deliver cybersecurity, simplified risk management, and policy-based automation at scale, with ultra-secure remote access and the fastest time to value in the market today. This cutting-edge platform simplifies and accelerates the delivery of business-critical applications, addresses operational and security concerns, and enables channel partners and their customers to invest strategically in innovative solutions that empower end users with speed, agility, and security, at a time when legacy products and traditional approaches are no longer sustainable.

Based in Ottawa, Tehama is a business unit of Pythian, a global IT product and services company. Tehama was created by industry experts who understand that enterprises, and the providers and individuals who service them, need better ways to adapt to a changing workforce while protecting against growing security concerns like insider breaches and IP theft.
By consolidating all the necessary tools and technologies to securely connect and collaborate with third parties into one SaaS-based platform, Tehama enables Pythian and other service providers, multi-national organizations and technology partners to deliver highly skilled services to the world’s most innovative, yet security-conscious businesses. Through a combination of secure access controls, isolated and collaborative workspaces, and continuous compliance, security and business leaders can easily ensure regulatory compliance, reduce overall operating costs, and achieve business agility.
“Institutions are struggling with how to balance security, access risks, governance and compliance when computing resources— or human resources— are not on premise,” said Tehama Senior Vice President Gene Villeneuve. “Tehama provides a complete cloud-based system to rapidly onboard and securely engage a contingent workforce in minutes— something that used to take months and immense resources.”
