Robert Mitchell, Chairman of Cyba, said: “We are excited to be working with Narf towards an RTO, which we believe will be transformational for Cyba’s shareholders.
“Since its inception in 2012, Narf has been providing cutting edge cyber security R&D to the US Government and Industry. Over the last three years, Narf has experienced strong growth while building a number of exciting products and projects through its close relationships with the US government, DARPA and other leading institutes in this sector.
“We believe this, along with the SRI product now close to commercialisation, is the perfect time to be completing the acquisition at this stage of the Company’s trajectory. It also forms a great anchor for consolidation of other complementary cyber security businesses in the US.”
