CORRECTION: F-Secure Takes A Big Step Towards Cyber Security Leadership By Acquiring MWR InfoSecurity
Summary
F-Secure has on 18 June 2018 signed an agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of MWR InfoSecurity, a privately held cyber security company operating globally from its main offices in the UK, the US, South Africa and Singapore.Due to the shortage of skilled cyber security experts in-house there is a huge demand for both products and services to proactively search for newly emerging threats, detect and respond faster and especially stop future incidents.F-Secure’s combination of man and machine – an approach shared by MWR InfoSecurity – uniquely positions the company to support businesses to fight advanced attacks with its cyber security products and services.Learnings from the most challenging incident investigations and from targeted attack simulations provide insights that feed directly back into product creation, ensuring the company’s detection and response solutions are constantly upgraded to meet the latest threats.F-Secure’s security experts have participated in more European cyber crime scene investigations than any other company in the market, and its products are sold all over the world by over 200 broadband and mobile operators and thousands of resellers.
