Adds specialized federal cyber capability via the Catalyst Cyber acquisition while maintaining a sizeable in-house specialist bench.
Over 250 professionals and public-market listing reflect real operational scale and governance maturity for an Australian cyber practice.
The Catalyst Cyber federal-team acquisition, following the earlier $34.6M InfoTrust deal, shows sustained, active M&A in the cybersecurity space.
A traditional cybersecurity consulting and managed services model rather than a disruptive product.
A decade-plus operating history and recognized leadership position in the Australian cyber market support credible delivery.
Cybersecurity is the explicit core focus of the (rebranded) public company, with 140+ dedicated specialists.
Why CISOs Should Care
Infotrust's acquisition of Catalyst Cyber's federal government cybersecurity team strengthens its ability to serve Australian government CISOs and security leads with cleared, mission-specific cyber expertise, complementing its existing 140+ cyber specialist bench.
What Makes It Different
Now trading on the ASX after Spirit Technology Solutions' rebrand to Infotrust, the company combines public-market capital access with a decade-built reputation as one of Australia's leading pure-play cybersecurity practices, distinguishing it from typical PE-backed MSSP roll-ups.

Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
