Summa Equity investerer i Logpoint for at skabe et europæisk kraftcenter for cybersikkerhed
Summa Equity køber en majoritetsandel af cybersikkerheds-virksomheden Logpoint. Investeringen kommer fra Summas Fund III, som indeholder 2,3 mia. euro, og skal være med til at sikre Europa strategisk uafhængighed på cybersikkerheds-området og beskytte den globale digitale transformation.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden and COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summa Equity (“Summa”, www.summaequity.com) offentliggør idag købet af en majoritetsandel i den danske softwarevirksomhed Logpoint (www.logpoint.com), som laver en avanceret cybersikkerheds-platform, der beskytter virksomheder over hele verden imod den stadigt stigende cybertrussel. Købet sker på baggrund af Summas strategi om at foretage investeringer, der understøtter FN’s verdensmål for bæredygtig udvikling, og skabe langsigtet og bæredygtig værdi for sine investorer.
Gennem investeringen i Logpoint adresserer Summa den globale udfordring med et stadigt stigende antal cyberangreb, som ifølge Cybersecurity Ventures koster verdensøkonomien omkring 7.600 mia. euro i 2023. Investeringen adresserer FN’s verdensmål nr. 9 ved at understøtte pålidelig, bæredygtig og robust infrastruktur af høj kvalitet samt verdensmål nr. 16 ved at understøtte effektive, ansvarlige og gennemsigtige institutioner samt offentlig adgang til information.
Logpoint har hovedkontor i Danmark og er til stede på 11 markeder på tværs af Europa, USA og Asien. Selskabet er den eneste europæiske producent af SIEM, UEBA, SOAR og SAP sikkerhedsteknologi, der leveres i en samlet, integreret platform. Logpoints teknologi er med til at sikre den digitale transformation og hjælper organisationer i alle størrelser med at beskytte sig mod cybertrusler, sikre en stabil drift af deres it-infrastruktur og opfylde lovkrav krav som f.eks. GDPR og NIS2.
Summas Fund III på 2,3 mia. euro fokuserer på investeringer, der sikrer effektiv brug af klodens ressourcer, global demografisk udvikling og teknologidrevet transformation. Fonden har mere end 70 forskellige institutionelle investorer.
Chief Investment Officer og partner i Summa Equity, Christian Melby siger:
”Ved at købe en majoritetsandel af Logpoint investerer vi i at sikre den globale teknologidrevne transformation, som er helt afgørende for at nå de fleste af verdensmålene. Det er en investering i europæisk uafhængighed på cybersikkerheds-området for at sikre, at teknologien til at beskytte vores infrastruktur fortsat udvikles i Europa. Logpoint vil blive platformen for udviklingen af et europæisk kraftcenter indenfor cybersikkerhed, som et alternativ til de dominerende amerikanske leverandører.”
Logpoint indsamler sikkerhedsinformation fra hele den digitale infrastruktur. Informationen analyseres og behandles i real-tid bl.a. ved hjælp af big-data teknologi, kunstig intelligens og automatisering. Platformen er tilgængelig som en SaaS-løsning eller On-Premise og giver et overblik over den øjeblikkelige sikkerhedssituation, identificerer cybertrusler og inkluderer de værktøjer, der skal til for at bekæmpe truslerne.
CEO i Logpoint, Jesper Zerlang, siger:
”Vi står ved et afgørende og kritisk punkt i historien, hvor den teknologidrevne transformation er et nøgleelement i forhold til at sikre vores fælles fremtid. Transformationen trues i stigende grad af aggressive angribere, organiseret kriminalitet og statsstøttede aktører. Krigen i Ukraine, energikrisen og Covid-pandemien har fået os til at indse, hvor sårbare vi er, og at avanceret teknologi er afgørende for at sikre transformationen. I samarbejde med Summa vil vi skabe det stærkeste europæiske cybersikkerheds-selskab med global rækkevidde, som skal gøre denne teknologi tilgængelig for alle størrelser af virksomheder og organisationer.”
Efter Summas investering i Logpoint vil Yttrium (tidligere. Digital+ Partners) forblive som en betydelig mindretalsaktionær i Logpoint.
Summas investering i Logpoint er med forbehold for endelig godkendelse fra myndighederne, som forventes i 2. kvartal 2023.
