Cyber Security: Recent Transactions and Outlook
Cyber Security: Key M&A Transactions
The need for continuous improvement in technology to counter rapid evolving cyber threats is forecast to drive M&A as firms seek to acquire
solutions rather than develop in-house
• Firms may look to buy innovation-driven, small-scale firms that offer niche cyber security services and products
An increase in business vulnerability as a result of growth in connectivity (often through less secure devices such as mobile phones and cloud
storage) is likely to drive companies to acquire/partner with other security providers to reduce the risk of potential loss of IP, reputation, and
customers
The increased use of electronic/mobile commerce and banking, greater use of digital cash, and growth in new payment models may also lead to
increased acquisitions

operator to provide a storefront to its online operations and boost consumer experience
