F-Secure announced its acquisition of nSense – a privately held Danish company providing security consultations, vulnerability assessment services and related products to large enterprises. The acquisition lays a foundation for the company’s growth as a cybersecurity leader in the region.
nSense provides protection services to financial institutions, service providers and other large enterprises, and F-Secure’s acquisition of the company will add these services to its own security solutions. According to F-Secure CEO Christian Fredrikson, the combined portfolio will allow F-Secure to provide top-tier incident response and forensic expertise, comprehensive vulnerability assessment, and threat intelligence and security management services to enterprises and businesses with critical IT infrastructure. nSense’s vulnerability scanning solution, named Karhu, is actively used in leading financial institutions, service providers and other large enterprises. According to Fredrikson, offering solutions like these to businesses will help F-Secure continue to grow into becoming Europe’s leading cybersecurity provider.
“Information security threats are becoming more stealthy, sophisticated and complex, and we need to be able to provide services that help our customers prevent potential threats from becoming security incidents,” said Fredrikson. “nSense’s cybersecurity products and services help us expand into new industry segments and strengthen our capabilities to address the attack detection and prevention needs of enterprises.”
“Becoming a part of F-Secure gives us the possibility to grow and expand to new markets much more quickly while we benefit from each other’s technical know-how and intelligence,” said nSense’s CEO Jens Thonke.
