Claranet Buys NotSoSecure

Acquisition continues the MSP's push into security services.

Claranet, a managed service provider with services focused on western Europe and Brazil, has purchased NotSoSecure, a firm specializing in penetration testing and ethical hacker training.

The purchase follows Claranet's 2017 acquisition of SEC-1, a security firm based in the United Kingdom. According to a Claranet statement announcing the purchase, the security acquisitions, together with the opening of a security operations center in Portugal, are part of the company's intention to increase their overall security services capabilities.

At the same time, NotSoSecure executives stated that they intend to use the resources of Claranet to build their business globally, with a special focus on expanding their presence in the US market.
