InfoTrust Acquired by Spirit Technologies
We are delighted to announce a major update as InfoTrust continues to enhance its position as the leading provider of cybersecurity services to Australian organisations.
InfoTrust has agreed to an acquisition by Spirit Technologies and will merge with their cyber arm, Intalock.
The merger is rich with synergy and brings together a formidable team of 110 of the nation’s most experienced security experts. The move will significantly expand our human talent and capabilities, particularly related to Security Operations, Managed Services and Incident response with Intalock recently opening a state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre (SOC) in late 2023.
The facility is one of the most advanced of its kind Australia-wide and is trusted to secure some of the nation’s largest enterprises with combined market revenue of more than 10 billion dollars.
Spirit Technologies is a leading modern workplace services provider, delivering innovative IT solutions and services with a security-first approach. Over the past 5 years Spirit has had a strategic focus on building their cyber security capabilities and services, strengthening the cyber arm of their organisation through the acquisition of Intalock in 2020.
Why are we excited by this news?
Over the last decade, InfoTrust has grown to be one of Australia’s leading cyber security practices, offering exceptional services and solutions across governance, risk, and compliance, assurance and engineering.
Conversely, Intalock has become a market leader for managed services across detection and response, Security Operations Centre (SOC), Security Information Event Management and Incident Response.
This acquisition into Spirit’s cyber arm, provides InfoTrust customers access to an expanded team of security experts, capabilities and services to further strengthen their organisations against cyber threats.
There will be no disruption to InfoTrust's customers' current cybersecurity services. Our team will remain intact and is committed to providing the same high level of support our customers have experienced with InfoTrust.
In the coming months, you can look forward to an expanded range of offerings as we leverage the combined strengths of both companies to introduce innovative solutions tailored to evolving cybersecurity needs.
We are extremely excited about this new phase at InfoTrust and the benefits it will bring to our customers.
If you are a current InfoTrust customer and you have any questions about this news or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact your InfoTrust account manager or email the team at info@infotrust.com.au.
