Recent cybersecurity incidents have highlighted vulnerabilities in critical industries like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, where breaches can disrupt services and expose sensitive data. The increasing complexity of cyberattacks has underscored the urgent need for improved security measures, especially for critical infrastructure security. In this environment, RKON Technologies‘ latest acquisition comes at a pivotal time.
RKON has acquired Bridge Security Advisors to enhance its cybersecurity services in these regulated industries. The deal expands RKON’s expertise in cloud security, governance risk and compliance (GRC), and identity and access management. By focusing on critical infrastructure security, RKON aims to fortify essential services.
Sophisticated Threats
With this acquisition, RKON aims to address the growing demand for comprehensive security solutions in sectors with stringent regulations. Bridge Security Advisors brings specialized capabilities in cloud security and zero-trust architecture. Their expertise will allow RKON to offer clients better risk mitigation and business continuity strategies. The acquisition also strengthens RKON’s managed detection and response services, which protect critical infrastructure security using flexible and cost-effective methods.
Jeff Mullarkey, CEO of RKON, emphasized that regulated industries face complex cybersecurity challenges. He believes this acquisition positions RKON to offer more complete solutions to clients facing sophisticated threats. “Bridge’s capabilities align with our goal to deliver end-to-end services,” Mullarkey said, especially in critical infrastructure security.
Bridge Security Advisors will now operate under the RKON brand, with its services fully integrated into RKON’s offerings. Clients and partners should not expect any disruption in services. This acquisition is part of RKON’s larger growth strategy, bolstered by recent private equity investment. The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
