Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, with attackers focusing less on infrastructure and more on the weak link in security - human behaviour. Phishing, business email compromise, smishing, QR-code attacks, social engineering and many other forms of attacks targeting humans continue to be primary breach vectors and are rapidly growing in sophistication with support of widely available AI tools. By integrating Libraesva's advanced, privacy-first email security technologies with Cyber Guru's AI-driven training, awareness and real-time protection platform, the combined group will deliver a complete, end-to-end solution combining prevention, detection, and human risk reduction.

The transaction combines Libraesva's advanced email security capabilities with Cyber Guru's human-centric security awareness and risk management expertise, addressing one of the most critical challenges facing organisations today: protecting people, inboxes, and digital communications from increasingly sophisticated attacks designed to bypass traditional security solutions.

The combined organisation will serve more than 3,500 customers worldwide and operate through a partner ecosystem of over 500 resellersand managed service providers. Customers will benefit from stronger protection across the entire human attack surface, measurable security outcomes, and simplified vendor management. Partners will gain access to a broader, differentiated European cybersecurity portfolio designed to meet modern compliance, data sovereignty, and security requirements allowing them to combine leading technologies with their own value-adding services.

"This strategic combination is a major step in building a strong and credible European cybersecurity group," said Paolo Frizzi, CEO of Libraesva. "By bringing together our email security expertise with Cyber Guru's human risk capabilities, we are creating a fully integrated platform that protects organisations where attacks most often start: in the inbox and with people."

"This combination is about solving a real and urgent problem our customers face every day," said Gianni Baroni, CEO of Cyber Guru. "By combining human-centric security awareness with advanced email protection, we enable organisations to defend against attacks that target people, not just technology, while building an Italian and European cybersecurity leader."

Libraesva's recognition in the 2025 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant? for Email Security underscores the strength, maturity, and international relevance of its technology. Combined with Cyber Guru's adaptive, AI-powered awareness and training capabilities, the group is well positioned to support organisations across Europe and internationally as they navigate an increasingly complex and regulated threat landscape.

The combination is expected to close in the coming months, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
