Orange, the global telecoms group, acquires SecureLink, one of the largest dedicated cybersecurity infrastructure and managed services providers in Europe, from Investcorp, a provider and manager of alternative investment products. Offer values entire SecureLink at €515m($580m). “Cybersecurity is a growing priority for companies of all sizes, and we believe the two most important success factors are Scale and Proximity. Scale because today's threats are global, complex, and require matching protection capabilities. Proximity because in the global IT world, you want a trusted local partner to secure your most strategic assets. With the acquisition of SecureData and SecureLink, Orange has the highest scale to anticipate and fend off attacks, as well as local defense teams in all the main European markets, positioning the combined organization as the go-to defense specialist.” Hugues Foulon, Orange Executive Director of Cybersecurity
