IBM Bolsters Cybersecurity with Logiq Consulting Acquisition

IBM has made significant strides in strengthening its cybersecurity capabilities through the acquisition of UK-based Logiq Consulting. This move aims to bolster IBM's position as a leading provider of digital transformation services, particularly for organisations operating in highly regulated environments.

Logiq Consulting brings expertise from the UK defence industry, critical national infrastructure, and public sector into IBM Consulting, making it an NCSC-assured cyber consultancy. Its capabilities will complement those of SiXworks, another IBM company that specialises in digital transformation for defence and public-sector organisations.

The acquisition is expected to enhance IBM's ability to support clients with cybersecurity transformation, digital sovereignty, and the secure adoption of AI. It also enables organisations to maintain control over critical data and technology environments while addressing evolving security and regulatory requirements.
