Verizon Business announced an agreement under which it will acquire Cybertrust, a privately-held provider of global information security services.
The combination will make Verizon Business the leading provider of managed information security services to large business and government customers worldwide. By combining Cybertrust's global presence and customer base, focused security expertise, and professional services with Verizon Business' "cloud-to-core" security portfolio, global IP network and financial strength, the acquisition creates a powerful and unique player that will redefine the global security landscape.
