The deal is part of S21sec’s strategy to enhance focus in the managed security services segment.

Commenting on the deal, Auriga founder and CEO Vincenzo Fiore said: “Ever growing targeted attacks on self-service banking infrastructure are hugely disruptive and undermine trust in digital banking services.

“By making LDM an integral component of our own software portfolio we can significantly build the most effective cyber risk management and security capabilities for our clients that protect growth in digital financial services across all channels.”

S21sec CEO Agustin Munoz-Grandez said: “As an added value to this operation, S21sec and Auriga will also be collaborating to offer additional cybersecurity services to financial institutions.”
