Strengthening its position in the Asia-Pacific cybersecurity landscape, global IT major Infosys has announced a definitive agreement to acquire The Missing Link, a leading Australian cybersecurity services company.
The acquisition marks a significant expansion of Infosys’ cybersecurity and cloud capabilities, with a focus on enhancing its presence in the rapidly growing Australian and broader Asia-Pacific market.
Headquartered in Sydney, The Missing Link is an award-winning firm with a 27-year track record of delivering full-spectrum cybersecurity services. The company specialises in offensive and defensive security operations, risk assessment, compliance, managed services, and strategic advisory services across enterprise IT systems.
The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of Infosys’ FY26 (ending June 30, 2025), pending customary regulatory approvals.
Building a global cyber defence network: This acquisition gives Infosys access to The Missing Link’s advanced Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) and highly skilled teams across Red Team and Blue Team disciplines. The partnership will enhance Infosys’ global cyber defence centres, enabling it to deliver full-stack cybersecurity offerings tailored to protect enterprise networks, secure digital assets, and equip clients to mitigate complex cyber threats.
“Technology-led transformation and securing the enterprise are among the top priorities for global corporations,” said Satish HC, Executive Vice President and Chief Delivery Officer at Infosys.
“Together with The Missing Link and Infosys Cobalt, our cloud suite, we aim to deliver end-to-end cybersecurity solutions that bring differentiated value to our clients.”
Infosys Cobalt, the company’s cloud-first platform, will be integrated with The Missing Link’s capabilities, offering a comprehensive digital security framework for clients navigating complex regulatory and risk environments.
A milestone moment for The Missing Link: Founded in 1997, The Missing Link has built a strong reputation in Australia’s cybersecurity and IT services sector, working with major enterprises and government clients. Its team also brings expertise in robotic process automation, cloud infrastructure, and generative AI.
Welcoming the acquisition, Alex Gambotto, Founder and CEO of The Missing Link, said the partnership with Infosys would enable the company to scale its services and deepen its innovation capabilities.
“Our team has worked tirelessly to build a company focused on excellence and exceeding client expectations,” Gambotto said.
“Joining Infosys marks a major milestone, allowing us to tap into their global platforms, expertise and reach.
While our ownership changes, our ethos and commitment to clients remain unchanged.”
This acquisition underscores Infosys’ commitment to the Australian market, where it continues to grow its presence across digital services, education, sustainability, and now cybersecurity.
With increasing demand for robust cyber defences and a surge in enterprise cloud adoption, this move is seen as part of Infosys’ broader strategy to deliver AI-first, secure digital transformation to clients across 56 countries.
The transaction was advised by TH Global Capital, a specialist investment bank focused on M&A and strategic advisory in the technology sector.
As businesses globally face rising cyber risks and regulatory pressure, this acquisition positions Infosys as a key player in helping enterprises manage security challenges across data, infrastructure, applications, and workforce.
