Strengthening Cyber Security Capabilities
This strategic acquisition will significantly bolster Marlink’s cyber security portfolio and capabilities, creating a robust asset to deliver top-tier cyber security solutions and services. The enhanced portfolio will benefit Marlink’s global customers in maritime, energy, and humanitarian markets, as well as Diverto’s enterprise customers with critical infrastructure. This integration will set new standards for addressing the growing IT and OT security needs of Marlink customers operating in remote locations.
Expertise and Advanced Services
Based in Zagreb, Croatia, Diverto is renowned for its expertise in cybersecurity services and solutions. Its comprehensive portfolio includes professional services such as penetration testing, red and purple teaming, security audits, risk management, compliance, and other cybersecurity services. Diverto’s advanced Security Operations Centre (SOC) offers incident management and forensics, providing robust protection for both IT and OT customers.
Diverto serves clients across public and private sectors, emphasizing the importance of information security as a crucial asset in managing business risks. The company employs over 50 highly experienced security professionals with more than 150 security certifications.
