EDINBURGH, UK, and TAMPA, Fla. — Quorum Cyber revealed it has set a new strategic direction by acquiring Kivu Consulting Inc – a provider of digital forensics, cyber incident response, business restoration, and ransom negotiations in the global insurance, legal, and government sectors.
Kivu provides threat intelligence, threat hunting, and incident response services across the UK, North America, the Middle East, and other international markets. Quorum Cyber has appointed Paul Caiazzo as chief threat officer to lead the Kivu sector of the business and join the company’s executive team.
Quorum Cyber describes the acquisition as expanding its capabilities by putting cyber threats and adversaries at the heart of its global cybersecurity services - better addressing customers’ problems and protection. The company believes Caiazzo will input research and thought leadership into strategic, tactical, and operational cybersecurity, and will be responsible for integrating the experience of the Kivu team with Quorum Cyber, accelerating its threat intelligence and incident response teams.
In conjunction with this move, Quorum Cyber has released its annual Global Cyber Risk Outlook Report 2025, a comprehensive analysis of the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. This report offers crucial insights into the current cyber threats and anticipates emerging risks for 2025. Quorum Cyber will host a webinar on February 25th, 2025, featuring Caiazzo, to delve deeper into the report's insights.
As a cybersecurity engineer, entrepreneur, and strategist with over 27 years’ experience, Caiazzo brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the role. Prior to joining Quorum Cyber, he held senior positions for numerous technology companies from start-ups and scale-ups through to established enterprises such as Avertium, TruShield Security Solutions, Savvis Communications, and Northrop Grumman Mission Systems in support of the US Department of Defense.
Caiazzo, chief threat officer at Quorum Cyber, said: "I’m honored to lead our new threat business unit and join this exceptional team. Threats drive technology decisions made by organizations worldwide, including Quorum Cyber. Our mission is clear: to be the first call when organizations face their most critical security challenges. This requires us to have deep insight into the adversaries our customers face and be a step ahead in driving modernization and technology adoption. We're not just responding to incidents; we're redefining world-class threat intelligence.”
