Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Analysis
Mergers and Acquisitions can present a significant cyber and privacy risk to both the acquiring company and to the one being acquired. To ensure the success of the merger or acquisition, organizations need to do their due diligence in assessing, understanding and remediating the existing risks.
E2ECYBER’s staff have developed a Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) framework that quantifies the potential risk and presents remediation strategies.
Why is it important?
Organizations must understand the cyber risk that a merger or an acquisition can pose. It is important to assess holistically the organization being acquired and to align cyber and privacy practices before a merger.
Interconnecting networks, without doing due diligence, could mean the attackers could have free access to compromise the acquiring organization. Through an M&A assessment and risk mitigation, an organization can significantly minimize the risk.
