Investcorp to acquire Coresec

Coresec_logoEstablished in 2003, Coresec offers integrated cyber security solutions and managed services to corporates and institutions. With more than 250 employees across seven offices and multiple 24/7 manned Network & Security Operation Centres.

Carsten Hagenbucher, Managing Director at Investcorp said “A key pillar in our investment thesis when acquiring SecureLink in December 2015 centred on the vision of creating a pan-European cyber security specialist. Through the acquisition of Coresec and with combined revenues of €200 million, we believe we have taken a significant step forward in implementing such a vision. Both companies share the same DNA and we look forward to partnering with the now expanded management team to implement an accelerated growth strategy, both organically and through continued add-on activity”.

Marco Barkmeijer, CEO at SecureLink added, “For me, it is a dream come true. We have known Coresec for years, have great chemistry with their team and share the same outlook on the cyber security market. The combined group enables us to further optimize our service offering to our clients and to deepen our relationships with our vendor partners. I have great admiration for Coresec’s CEO, Johan Andersson, and look forward to working with him and his team to leverage SecureLink and Coresec’s respective strengths as we continue our European growth.”
