Integrity360 scores August Equity cash

Security outfit Integrity360 has announced a major strategic investment from private equity firm August Equity.

For some reason, neither outfit is saying how much has been invested but since they both spent a lot of cash on issuing a press release on a subject without having the main point of the story somewhere in it, they must feel they must be rolling in it and suddenly have more money than sense.

In addition to the investment funding, Integrity360 founder and CEO Eoin Goulding is partnering with Ian Brown, who joins the company as Executive Chairman, with Goulding taking on the new role of President. Brown, an established entrepreneur, and industry veteran has been running technology businesses for over 25 years, including most recently SecureData, the UK cybersecurity services business acquired by Orange in 2019.
