We are confident that, together, we will be able to drive further growth by providing our clients with holistic cybersecurity services. Dionach’s market-leading cybersecurity consulting services will support Nomios to scale our existing offer in those segments, and the company’s strong regional market presence will help us expand and consolidate our geographic reach.”
Ewan McKenzie, CEO and founder of Dionach, remarked, “Since the beginning of our relationship with Nomios, we saw perfect alignment of our culture, values and vision. The combination of Nomios and Dionach will create a full-service cybersecurity solutions provider, which can serve a diverse range of customers across the world, ensuring that we stay ahead of evolving threats together. We look forward to working even more closely with Sebastien and the wider Nomios team.”
