Cybersecurity services firm NCC Group has completed the disposal of Fox Crypto, part of its European Cyber division in the Netherlands, for €78.5m to CR Group Nordic.
Fox Crypto contributed revenue and EBITDA of around £18m and about £4m, respectively, in the 12 months ended 31 May 2024. “Fox Crypto was previously a standalone entity, and the disposal does not impact the group's continuing Cyber capabilities,” said NCC.
Group NCC net debt following this disposal, as at 31 March, 2025, is expected to be “in the range of £0 to £3m”, said to the firm.
The company is due to announce interim results for the period ended 31 March, 2025 on 19 June, 2025.

-Verkada, the cloud-based physical security solutions firm, announced a new integration with SimonsVoss SmartIntego wireless locks at its VerkadaOne London conference.

Ardon Anderson, Verkada’s vice president of EMEA, said: “Our new partnership with SimonsVoss will unlock new potential for us as our Access Control offering continues to grow, and help make it even easier to deploy seamless, enterprise-grade solutions at scale.”
