From the heart of Europe to global 24/7 cyber resilience.

Cegeka, a leading IT company headquartered in Belgium, is expanding its global network of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to the United States. The new Modern SOC will operate out of the headquarters of its subsidiary CTG in Buffalo, New York.

This expansion marks a major milestone in Cegeka’s growth and strengthens its ability to provide 24/7 protection against cyberattacks to customers in Europe and beyond. The new SOC is part of Cegeka’s growing Modern SOC network, which integrates advanced technology with human expertise to deliver next-level cybersecurity.
“With this expansion, we can better support our international customers, no matter the time zone,” said Fabrice Wynants, Global VP Cybersecurity & Networking at Cegeka. “Our clients can rely on our 24/7 Managed Detection & Response services, held to the highest standards, wherever they are. This not only offers peace of mind, but also ensures compliance with local data security and privacy regulations.”

Cegeka Modern SOC Network 
The new SOC in Buffalo joins Cegeka’s existing centers in Belgium and Romania, addressing the increasing demand for advanced cybersecurity services. Through its Managed Detection & Response offering, Cegeka helps organizations strengthen their defenses, especially at a time of growing regulatory pressure and a shortage of cybersecurity talent.

“The cybersecurity landscape has changed dramatically,” Wynants added. “Attacks are becoming more complex. Our solutions help customers not only detect threats early, but also respond quickly and recover efficiently. With our Security Observability Dashboard, we give businesses clear insights into their security posture and help boost their cyber resilience. Cybersecurity is no longer just a cost—it’s a strategic asset.”

From cybersecurity to cyber resilience
Cegeka Modern SOC stands apart from traditional SOCs by combining expert analysts with automated processes and detection tools. This results in more effective threat detection, faster response times, and improved recovery. Cegeka also supports organizations in making the critical shift from traditional cybersecurity to full-scale cyber resilience.

“Prevention alone isn’t enough anymore,” said Bart Watteeuw, Executive Vice President Services & Solutions at Cegeka. “In today’s threat environment, it’s not a matter of if an attack will happen, but when. Our solutions equip organizations with the tools and services to detect, respond, and recover—quickly and effectively.”

Ambitious, yet grounded 
“We’re ambitious as a group, but also realistic,” said CEO Stijn Bijnens. “Cyberattacks don’t respect borders, and neither do we. This move is a natural step in our international growth, while staying true to our European roots.”

Quorum Cyber expands its Incident Response capabilities by adding digital forensics, business restoration, and ransom negotiations to its service catalogue with the acquisition of the U.S. based company.

Edinburgh, UK and Berkeley, California, U.S. – January 9, 2025 – Quorum Cyber – headquartered in the U.K., with offices across North America and UAE – today announced the acquisition of Kivu Consulting Inc, a leading global cybersecurity firm specializing in Incident Response.

The strategic move bolsters Quorum Cyber’s rapid global expansion, as it comes just months after it acquired Difenda, a North American company that specializes in Microsoft Security Managed Services.

Founded in 2009, Kivu Consulting Inc, or ‘Kivu’, is a trusted partner in the global insurance, legal, and government sectors. The company is a leader in digital forensics, cyber incident response, business restoration, and ransom negotiations. Since its inception, Kivu has helped define the market for response, managed, and advisory services to protect organizations against compromised data, theft of trade secrets, and unauthorized access to data.

Kivu holds established relationships in over 40 Insurance and Legal panels across the U.S. and the U.K. This transformative acquisition 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 market-leading threat management services from three operations centers in the U.S., the U.K., 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.”

Charosky continued, “The integration of Kivu’s stellar incident response teams and U.S.-based SOC, together with Quorum Cyber’s existing U.K., U.S. 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 cybersecurity solutions, throughout North America, the U.K., and beyond.”

Shane Sims, Chief Executive Officer at Kivu, commented, “For the past 15 years, Kivu has leveraged its talent and forensic labs in the U.S. and U.K. to deliver threat intelligence-driven cybersecurity outcomes across every continent, serving organizations in all industries. Our success has been built on trusted partnerships with leaders in insurance, legal, technology, and government – all sharing the same goal of fighting cybercrime. Our acquisition by Quorum Cyber represents a strategic alignment with an organization and team that share our mission, vision, and core values, while immediately scaling our team, capabilities, and services in a big way. This is a natural next step for Kivu, and I am excited about what it means for our employees, clients, and trusted partners.”

Quorum Cyber’s back-to-back acquisitions of Kivu Consulting and Difenda underscore its aggressive growth strategy across North American and U.K. markets. Bolstered by ongoing support from its investors, Charlesbank Capital Partners and Livingbridge, the two acquisitions equip Quorum Cyber with the resources to strategically expand its service offerings and customer reach. The integration of Kivu’s incident response expertise and connections, coupled with Difenda’s managed services capabilities, marks a significant step in Quorum Cyber’s mission of asserting its market presence globally.

The latest financing brings the company’s total funding to $110 million and will fuel its mission to help security and engineering teams reduce exposure efficiently.

Since its launch in late 2021, Dazz has experienced rapid customer growth with Fortune 500 and hyper-growth companies such as BHG Financial, Healthfirst, TaxSlayer, iCapital, and Abnormal Security across financial services, healthcare, pharmaceutical, technology, retail, and manufacturing industries. To date, customers have used the Dazz Unified Remediation Platform to automatically find and manage 1.2 billion vulnerabilities and resolve close to 500 million issues at root causes, saving significant security and engineering time, plus dramatically reducing the chance of security incidents. From FY2023 to FY2024, Dazz achieved a 400 percent increase in ARR, while tripling its salesforce and expanding its footprint across all functions in the U.S., Europe, and Israel.

“In a world where security breaches occur on average every 11 seconds, the constant rise in AI-powered threats presents a prominent danger of more efficient and scalable attacks,” said Merav Bahat, Dazz Co-Founder and CEO. “At Dazz, we are experiencing remarkable business momentum, thanks to a critical market gap that Dazz uniquely addresses. The last year proved that our innovation and execution leads to unprecedented growth, which this new round of funding will accelerate. We are honored and excited to deepen our collaboration with the world’s top cyber investors, with their unwavering trust and support fueling our mission to simplify cloud remediation and help our customers harness the power of AI to prevent attacks.”

Dazz transforms legacy vulnerability management and remediation processes through patented AI, automation, and root-cause analysis technologies that enable security and engineering teams to identify, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities in hours instead of weeks. The company’s Unified Remediation Platform provides CISOs with holistic visibility across all detection tools and environments, including code, clouds, applications, and infrastructure, and provides significant time savings for customers in researching security issues and reducing the Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR).

“As founding investors in Dazz, we are excited to significantly increase our investment and co-lead the latest financing,” said Asheem Chandna, Partner at Greylock Partners. “Cybersecurity remediation is a growing high priority area. Merav and her accomplished team at Dazz have strong momentum underway as the leader in this new important category.”
