Mergers and Acquisitions

More and more acquisitions are technology-driven, and yet the traditional M&A model doesn’t take into account the complexities of technology integration or cybersecurity risk. We work with buyers and sellers to rapidly build on data-driven technical insight into existing architectures and configurations.This enables the greatest possible understanding of risk and risk reduction pre-close. This work sets the stage for accurate cybersecurity budgets, increased integration speed and realistic run rates for the businesses post-close. Our experience building capabilities empower our clients to realize cybersecurity synergies and drive towards measurable risk parity post-close with meaningful, quick technology improvement.

Data-Driven Results

Where others look to understand security through conversations and interviews, we find that data and measurement provide real ground truth. Our approach starts with data collection and identifying real gaps and issues instead of relying on existing documentation and word of mouth. We incorporate leading practices to drive optimum results.

Each environment is unique with its own set of challenges. Our approach relies on partnership, creating solutions that are effective and actionable in your environment.

Adversary-Informed Solutions

Our team’s deep experience in leading government, military, intelligence community, and industry red teams provides us with deep understanding of the adversaries’ motivations and actions from many points of view. We combine this with our experience leading breach response and recovery for hundreds of incidents. We provide real-world experience and context of specific threat tradecraft across our client engagements to generate outcomes that counter these same threat actors.
