Edinburgh-based Microsoft cybersecurity partner Quorum Cyber has accelerated its global expansion by acquiring Canadian-based MSP Difenda.
With a team of 80 employees, Difenda serves clients across industries such as manufacturing, finance, energy, retail, technology, and healthcare.
Operating from offices in Ontario and Arizona, Difenda is also a Microsoft Solutions Partner for security.
Federico Charosky (pictured), CEO and Founder of Quorum Cyber, said: “Many things attracted us to Difenda, but what stood out were our shared objectives and values, and the fundamental integrity of both teams."
The move follows Quorum's recent investment from private equity firm Charlesbank Capital Partners, secured three months ago.
Darren Battistoni, MD of Charlesbank Capital Partners, added: “Difenda’s North American footprint and strong customer relationships across a wide array of industries will bolster Quorum Cyber as it expands into new markets.”
