Irish Ekco has acquired UK cybersecurity firm Bluecube and effectively doubled its UK presence.
This is Ekco’s fourth acquisition in the last year and augments Ekco’s service portfolio for UK clients with security offerings and improved critical recovery abilities, strengthening Ekco’s incident response capacities amid rising threats.
This acquisition aligns with Ekco’s global expansion strategy, which it says is fuelled by organic growth and European acquisitions, and new US offices.
Bluecube’s customer base and over 200 cybersecurity specialists boosts Ekco’s ability to serve UK organisations relying heavily on managed IT services.
Bluecube said the deal means it can meet its diverse, and evolving customer IT needs. Ekco said it sees it as furthering the company vision of providing responsive IT security solutions to a rapidly expanding customer base.
