Viatel Technology Group has enhanced its cybersecurity standing by acquiring the Northern Ireland operations of Belfast-based Cybit Cyber, which serves large public and private sector customers across Ireland, Scotland and the north of England.
This brings expertise to address intricate and critical security challenges faced by enterprises. Cybit Cyber holds partnerships with Palo Alto Networks, F5 Networks, Check Point, Qualys and Fortinet.
Viatel Technology Group CEO, Paul Rellis, said: “This acquisition is about more than expansion. We are fundamentally elevating our cybersecurity expertise to a new level.
“Cyber threats have created a compelling need for sophisticated technology partners.”
Paddy Trainor, Cybit Cyber’s MD, added: “Becoming part of Viatel is a significant step that strategically positions us for growth in a market with a critical need of our skills and knowledge.”
Today’s announcement is specific to Cybit’s cyber operations which are based out of Belfast. The company’s other UK divisions are unaffected.
