SCRT and Telsys now operating under the name Orange Cyberdefense Switzerland
The Swiss companies SCRT and Telsys, which were acquired by Orange Cyberdefense in 2022, will operate under the name Orange Cyberdefense Switzerland with immediate effect.
Orange Cyberdefense is accelerating the expansion of its cybersecurity activities in Switzerland following the acquisition of SCRT and Telsys last November. Both sister companies, based in Morges (VD), have around 100 experts in cybersecurity and related services in Morges, Geneva, Bern and Zurich, and will operate under the name Orange Cyberdefense Switzerland with immediate effect.
Within four years, the company has acquired and integrated four new companies. This underlines its ambitions to become number one in Europe by 2027. Last year, the European market grew by 9 percent, while Orange Cyberdefense saw growth of 14 percent in its global operations, generating revenues of €977 million.
Switzerland: Europe's seventh-largest cyber market
The integration of SCRT and Telsys under the Orange Cyberdefense brand allows to fully exploit the increasingly significant synergies between expertise in the cloud and cybersecurity. In Switzerland, the company will therefore expand its portfolio of secure cloud offerings by providing comprehensive support to enterprises and government agencies while expanding its competencies in back-up and recovery. In return, customers will benefit from what the company says is a world-class level of security that meets the highest market standards. Thanks to synergies with Orange Business, Orange Cyberdefense Switzerland is able to support multinational companies and international organizations globally.
In the first half of 2023, the new developments have already led to growth of almost 20 percent in cybersecurity and sales of over 25 million Swiss francs (CHF) in the Swiss market. The company's recruitment policy aims to build the largest cyber community in Europe. It is also being progressively implemented in Switzerland to strengthen the teams' capabilities and meet the diverse and growing needs of customers.
Nicolas Lutz, Managing Director of Orange Cyberdefense Switzerland since January 2023, emphasizes: "The integration of SCRT and Telsys into our company, a European leader in cybersecurity, represents a new milestone in the history of our company, of which I am proud."
