Newcastle-based technology company Cybit has sold its enterprise-grade security arm, Cybit Cyber, to Dublin-headquartered digital service provider Viatel Technology.

The move sees Cybit, a provider of data intelligence and AI-driven technology solutions, now concentrate on delivering tailored solutions and services to mid-market and SME businesses across various sectors.

According to the firm, the divestment allows both Cybit and Cybit Cyber to pursue growth strategies that are better aligned with their respective markets and customer needs.

Cybit currently serves 18 regions across five countries and has 30 years of industry experience. The two companies will continue to collaborate on a case-by-case basis to ensure a seamless transition and continuity for their customers.

James Hunnybourne, executive chair of Cybit, said: “This decision marks a significant milestone in Cybit’s evolution. By focusing our efforts on our core mid-market strategy, we are better positioned to deliver innovation and value to our customers. We are proud of the legacy and expertise built within Cybit Cyber and are confident that under Viatel’s leadership, the team will continue to thrive. We remain committed to supporting our customers, partners, and employees throughout this transition and look forward to future collaboration opportunities.”

Paul Rellis, CEO of Viatel Technology Group, added: “We are delighted to welcome Cybit Cyber into the Viatel family. Its deep expertise in enterprise-grade cybersecurity perfectly complements our existing capabilities and strengthens our position as a trusted digital transformation partner. This acquisition reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and innovative solutions to businesses across Ireland and beyond.”
