Camarillo, CA, Rockledge, FL and Eugene, OR (May 20, 2020) – Valeo Networks (previously SaalexIT), a division of Saalex Corporation and an industry-leading Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) since 2010, today announced the acquisition of Eugene, Oregon-based Managed Service Provider Arctic MSP.
