Accenture has acquired Context Information Security, a leading cyber defense consultancy, previously owned by parent company Babcock International Group.

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in London, Context is one of the most recognizable and respected information security service providers in the U.K. and in global financial services.

The acquisition of Context - which also has offices in Germany, the U.S. and Australia - strengthens Accenture Security's existing portfolio and becomes part of Accenture's cyber defense offerings.

"Mark Raeburn, Context Information Security's chief executive officer, said,"We are excited about the opportunity to become part of the Accenture family.

Earlier this year in January, Accenture agreed to acquire Symantec's Cyber Security Services business, which is the latest in a series of acquisitions - including those of Deja vu Security, iDefense, Maglan, Redcore, Arismore and FusionX - that demonstrate Accenture Security's commitment to investing, innovating and scaling its cybersecurity services for clients.
