Edinburgh-headquartered Quorum Cyber have announced the acquisition of Kivu Consulting Inc, a global cybersecurity firm specialising in Incident Response.
The strategic move comes just months after it acquired Difenda, a North American company that specialises in Microsoft Security Managed Services.
Founded in 2009, Kivu Consulting Inc, or ‘Kivu’, operates in the global insurance, legal, and government sectors. The company specialises in digital forensics, cyber incident response, business restoration, and ransom negotiations.
Kivu holds established relationships in over 40 Insurance and Legal panels across the US and the UK. The acquisition, according to Quorum, ‘not only rapidly expands Quorum Cyber’s presence within these industries, but also provides a robust foundation to strengthen its alliances and cement its status as a premier global threat management firm, renowned for its exceptional incident response capabilities.’
In addition, the acquisition of Kivu enables Quorum Cyber to deliver its threat management services from three operations centres in the US, the UK, and Canada to its customers worldwide.
Federico Charosky, CEO and founder of Quorum Cyber, stated, “We are incredibly excited to welcome Kivu to Quorum Cyber. Kivu’s reputation for excellence and its strong history in incident response perfectly complement Quorum Cyber’s capabilities”.
Federico continued, “The integration of Kivu’s stellar incident response teams and US-based Security Operations Centre (SOC), together with Quorum Cyber’s existing UK, US and Canadian operations, enables us to provide unparalleled 24/7 security coverage.
“This transaction highlights our rapid growth among incident response and threat management providers globally, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional cyber security solutions, throughout North America, the UK, and beyond.”
