Cybolt Joins Forces With Pontis Research To Bolster Cybersecurity Solutions

Cybolt, a prominent cybersecurity services provider in Latin America, has announced the integration of Pontis Research Inc., a U.S.-based company with three decades of expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and risk management. This move marks Cybolt's strategic expansion into North America, with plans to go public within the next five years.

Since 2019, Cybolt has successfully integrated several Latin American cybersecurity leaders, now serving over 200 clients across sectors such as Finance, Retail, Manufacturing, and Public. The inclusion of Pontis Research Inc. brings highly respected IAM and risk management specialists to Cybolt's team, enhancing its service offerings for large national and international organizations.

In a fragmented cybersecurity market with over 4,000 providers, Cybolt distinguishes itself by offering comprehensive services under one roof. This eliminates the need for multiple vendors. With operational strength in Mexico and an emerging presence in Florida, Cybolt continues to expand its footprint in the U.S., reinforcing its commitment to safeguarding businesses.

Mauricio Rioseco, Chairman of Cybolt, stated, "We are one company resulting from bringing together a number of leading companies, each excelling in various aspects of cybersecurity and digital risk management. Our collaboration ensures comprehensive solutions for our clients, with the best technology and cost efficiency. Partnering with Pontis Research Inc., leveraging their 30-year expertise in IAM and risk management across the U.S. and global markets enhances our service offerings."

Andy Johnston, Managing Director at Houlihan Lokey, played a crucial role in transforming the intricate task of uniting two businesses into a smooth operation. His team's guidance enabled Cybolt to make knowledgeable choices, allowing for a swift finalization of the merger.

Vinita Bhushan, founder and CEO of Pontis Research Inc., added, "As IAM experts, we’ve witnessed cyber attacks grow more perilous for organizations. This strategic partnership leverages our collective strengths while preserving our uniqueness. As we enter our fourth decade, we’re excited to serve customers even better."
