Allurity acquires Aiuken Cybersecurity
September 2022 by Marc Jacob
Allurity has acquired Spanish multinational Aiuken Cybersecurity, as an important step in its journey to becoming Europe’s leading cybersecurity provider. Aiuken brings an entire SOC platform spanning three continents, as well as its Cloud Security and SOC-as-a-Service platforms.
Aiuken Cybersecurity was founded in 2012 by former Telefónica executive Juan Miguel Velasco, who is currently the CEO and will continue to lead the company following this transaction. The company has achieved impressive growth and will continue its journey with Allurity as an accelerator.
This is the fourth company Allurity has acquired, following the purchases of Swedish companies Arctic Group, ID North and Pulsen IAM. Allurity will continue to add new companies to the group with the goal of improving data protection, reducing the significant cost of cyberattacks and contributing to improving talent and competence in the market.
This goal is fully aligned with the cybersecurity targets set by the EU, which is determined to support important business groups, as it seeks to build regional leaders and secure robust European competition.
Aiuken Cybersecurity is a Spain-based international company that safeguards major corporations, telecommunications systems and critical infrastructure. The company offers a full suite of cutting-edge services: detecting, identifying and protecting against cybernetic threats, responding to incidents, and implementing and managing the very latest in 24/7 security technologies.
The company operates in seven countries – Spain, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Chile, Côte d’Ivoire and Puerto Rico – and has over 300 clients and 120 employees.
