Airbus Defense and Space has announced plans to acquire INFODAS, a German company specializing in the provision of cybersecurity and IT solutions.
Cologne-based INFODAS has carved out a niche market, particularly in the public sector, offering services that address defense and critical infrastructure needs. This strategic move is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
The acquisition will significantly strengthen Airbus' cybersecurity portfolio, a key element of its strategic vision aimed at strengthening the digital protection of customers in Europe and around the world. Against the backdrop of intensifying cyber threats and the increasing digitalization and connectivity of Airbus products and systems, cybersecurity has emerged as a cornerstone of the company's development strategy. Airbus continues to take steady steps to strengthen its cybersecurity capabilities, improving its operations, products, customers and the company's efforts, including high-profile projects such as the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). We protect the broad ecosystem in which we operate.
INFODAS has around 250 employees and annual sales of 50 million euros. In addition to its headquarters in Cologne, INFODAS also has offices in Berlin, Bonn, Hamburg, Munich and Mainz in Germany. The company is recognized by the Federal Bureau of Information Security (BSI) as a certified IT security service provider and offers a wide range of services including information systems auditing, consulting, and penetration testing. INFODAS' flagship SDoT Security Gateway product family is approved for use up to the 'Secret' classification level and is a testament to the company's commitment to excellent cybersecurity, with Common Criteria compliance and various country-specific certifications. Further substantiated by possession.
The acquisition underscores Airbus Defense and Space's commitment to advancing cybersecurity measures, a move that reflects the growing importance of digital protection in today's interconnected and digitally dependent world. This resonates with me.
