Almond swallows rival Amossys

Security outfit Almond has written a cheque for all of Amossys’ shares.

Founded in 2007, Amossys provides consultancy and expertise in cyber-security, enabling companies and public authorities to evaluate and improve the security level of their computer systems.

With more than 60 engineers, and cyber-security experts, Amossys serves about 100 companies and other organisations, in a wide variety of sectors – defence, aerospace, the public sector, healthcare, banking, transportation, telecommunications, energy, . – and has an annual turnover of almost six million euros.

What Almond wants is Amossys’s R&D department, which consists of a testing laboratory with highly-qualified staff – including eight PhDs – and funded by public bodies (ANR, Bpifrance).

For Almond, the buy out will significantly increase its service offer in the field of cyber-security, enhancing its deliveries capacities thanks to a significant increase in its cyber-consultants’ staff.
