Infosys completes acquisition of Australian cybersecurity firm The Missing Link for nearly ₹532 crore in an all-cash deal.
The deets: the deal was made through Infosys Singapore Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned Infosys subsidiary.
The Missing Link brings a team of cyber experts including Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC). The firm offers a full-stack cybersecurity portfolio. This team will now plug into Infosys’ existing cyber network, including its Cobalt platform.
The why: Infosys is betting big on cybersecurity as a growth vertical. With threats rising globally, clients need smarter, faster, and more integrated protection.
This acquisition expands Infosys' on-ground presence in Australia, brings in deep domain talent, and enhances its ability to deliver end-to-end, differentiated cybersecurity solutions, from threat hunting to compliance, at scale.
Zoom out: Cybersecurity is no longer just a tech function, it’s a boardroom priority. With AI, cloud, and digital infra growing fast, businesses face higher risk exposure than ever before.
The global cybersecurity market is projected to cross $500 billion by 2030, and IT services giants like Infosys want a bigger slice of that pie. This acquisition signals a shift from just offering IT support to becoming full-spectrum digital security partners for global enterprises.
