Nortal said that this acquisition is set to enhance Nortal's presence in the UK and bolster its cybersecurity and defence operations across Europe, the US, and the GCC.
Established in 2012, 3DOT Solutions has built a reputation as a UK cybersecurity consultancy, delivering comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to private and public sector clients facing some of the most challenging cyber and IT security issues.
Its clientele includes central government departments, military agencies, and intelligence services.
Nortal CEO Priit Alamäe said: "The combination of long-term experience in the defence sector, a formidable reputation among its customer base, and strong cybersecurity expertise makes 3DOT Solutions an ideal partner for us. Importantly, with this acquisition, we will significantly enhance our cybersecurity capabilities and address the growing demand for cybersecurity services in the US, the GCC and across Europe, both in defence and other sectors."
The experts from 3DOT Solutions will join Nortal's global team of more than 2,000, expanding the company's services in the UK and meeting the increasing demand for cybersecurity services in Europe and the US. Together, Nortal and 3DOT Solutions will offer a comprehensive range of cybersecurity services, including information and security architecture consultations, cyber resilience and compliance, cybersecurity programme creation and execution, IT/OT security, and cyber range and R&D services, catering to businesses, national defence, and security organisations.
3DOT Solutions CEO Michael Hampson said: "Joining Nortal represents a new and exciting growth opportunity for the 3DOT Solutions team and an excellent chance to deliver greater value to our customers. We are excited to realise our shared ambition of increasing our presence in the UK and expanding our footprint into Europe, NATO countries, the 'Five Eyes,' and globally across new markets and geographies. The combination of Nortal’s existing success and 3DOT cyber and defence expertise creates a unique opportunity to service our customers’ needs now and in the future."
The global cost of cybercrime is estimated by Statista at $9.22 trillion, with the average cost of a data breach amounting to $4.35 million.
Hampson noted that this figure is expected to rise due to the accelerating pace of digitalisation and escalating geopolitical tensions.
"Our goal is to help government authorities as well as businesses from SMEs through to large corporates to build cyber-resilient organisations with robust digital cores, secure systems, and protected supply chains," said Hampson.
