Canary Acquires Layer 8 to Boost Security

Australian Canary Technology Solutions has recently strengthened its cybersecurity offerings through the acquisition of Brisbane-based Layer 8 Security. This move expands Canary’s capabilities and extends its footprint in Queensland, allowing the company to better serve its growing client base in the region. Layer 8, known for its innovative cybersecurity consultancy services, brings a unique set of tools and knowledge to the table, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity education and awareness programs.

One of the standout elements of Layer 8’s portfolio is its gamified Cyber Escape Room experiences, designed to engage employees and raise awareness of cybersecurity risks in a hands-on, interactive way. These programs, alongside other training and awareness services, align well with Canary’s mission to foster cyber-aware workplaces. Tom Freer, managing director of Layer 8, emphasized that this partnership will not only enhance the services offered to existing clients but also help transform cybersecurity learning into actionable insights for organizations.

The acquisition also signals a notable increase in Canary’s workforce, with the combined total headcount now surpassing 65 employees. Layer 8 will continue to operate as its own brand under the Canary umbrella, maintaining its current client relationships while gaining access to Canary’s broader technological expertise. Both companies plan to collaborate and cross-sell services, ultimately providing clients with a more comprehensive suite of cybersecurity solutions. This collaboration is expected to enhance Layer 8’s offerings with the added benefit of Canary’s advanced technology and resources.

This acquisition follows Canary’s recent acquisition of Wyntec, further consolidating its position in the cybersecurity industry. The integration of Layer 8 reinforces Canary’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that help clients address the growing complexity and scale of modern cyber threats. As businesses face increasingly sophisticated attacks, this strategic move allows Canary to offer an even more robust set of tools and resources for managing and mitigating cybersecurity risks, setting the stage for continued growth and innovation in the sector.
