Professional services firm EY announced Monday that it has reached a deal to acquire identity and access management (IAM) provider Open Windows Australia Pty Ltd in a bid to strengthen its cyber security service capability in Asia Pacific.
The deal comes at a time when cyber attacks and security are in the spotlight amid a ‘ramsomware’ attack last month, and EY said the acquisition of Melbourne-based Open Windows would strengthen its cyber-security advisory capabilities and put it in a position it to offer services from strategy to implementation expertise across Asia Pacific. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
