Saepio, a provider of cyber security services and solutions, has acquired offensive security specialist Ruptura.

The deal will enable Saepio to better serve its clients in testing resilience against cyber threats by bringing Ruptura’s penetration testing – known as pen testing – into its suite of services.

The firms say the acquisition is a logical next step for Saepio after a successful partnership in which Ruptura conducted pen tests for its clients to ensure that Saepio’s cyber security recommendations are resilient and robust.

Tom Heenan, Ruptura’s founder and MD, will continue to oversee the high quality of penetration testing and will become Saepio’s director of offensive security.
