DeepSeas announced today that it has acquired RedTeam Security, a privately held security testing firm. The acquisition reinforces and exemplifies the commitment of DeepSeas to offer a broad suite of security services for mid-market and enterprise clients.
The acquisition, backed by Nautic Partners, enhances assessment capabilities from DeepSeas to support both security and compliance use cases. Cyber attacks continue to plague organizations at great expense. In addition to actual costs, system compromises are often accompanied by compliance issues and penalty fees and can result in damage to brand trust. Identifying vulnerabilities and security holes, reducing network downtimes, assuring government and industry compliance, and maintaining customer trust are benefits derived from comprehensive security testing.
“We view robust testing as an essential component of any cyber defense program,” said Wade Alt, COO of DeepSeas. “RedTeam’s expertise and talent is a critical addition to the DeepSeas portfolio, giving our clients another reason they can sleep well at night.” “Our enterprise and mid-market clients struggle to attract and retain talent with the skills required to effectively deploy, integrate, and manage security solutions at scale to reduce the risk of brand damage and intellectual property theft or destruction,” said Chris Esemplare, CEO of DeepSeas. “RedTeam’s talented team helps to further accelerate the broadening of our talent base at DeepSeas.”
