The transaction was carried out through a share exchange and an investment of R$30 million in cybersecurity over the coming years;

FCamara, a Brazilian multinational technology and innovation company, announces the acquisition of 100% from Dfense, a company specializing in cybersecurity solutions. The transaction, carried out through a share swap, includes FCamara's commitment to invest at least R$$ 30 million in the digital security vertical over the coming years. This segment alone is expected to reach revenues of R$100 million by 2025 and R$200 million by 2027 – with R$20% of this amount coming from international clients. This acquisition aims to propel the group toward R$1 billion in total revenue over the next five years.

The acquisition aligns with FCamara's strategy of strengthening its ecosystem with technological solutions focused on digital security, in a scenario in which cyberattacks have become recurrent and represent one of the main risks for companies. The move follows the accelerated pace of the cybersecurity sector, driven by the increase in virtual threats and the intensification of digital transformation in the corporate environment. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), Brazil is the largest market in Latin America, with a market share of approximately 40% in the region.

"Cybersecurity has gone from being a differentiator to essential to any digital operation. The addition of Dfense represents a leap forward in our operations, positioning FCamara as an even more comprehensive player, prepared to handle highly complex projects both in Brazil and abroad," explains Arthur Lawrence, co-CEO of FCamara.

The new vertical will be one of the group's investment priorities, focusing on generating scalable offerings, attracting talent, and expanding operations both domestically and internationally. Team integration will be conducted based on the model already adopted by FCamara in previous acquisitions, prioritizing cultural and strategic alignment with the acquired companies.

Dfense: robust portfolio

Recognized for its technical expertise and projects developed for large companies in the financial, retail, logistics, and industrial sectors, Dfense brings a robust portfolio to FCamara's ecosystem. Services offered include SOC (Security Operations Center), Penetration Testing (Pension Testing), MSS (Managed Security Services), vulnerability management, cloud security, critical infrastructure protection, and regulatory compliance.

"The partnership with FCamara expands our capacity to innovate, combining technology, data, and talent to create even more comprehensive and accessible security solutions. This collaborative environment accelerates Dfense's growth and reinforces our purpose of democratizing cybersecurity, expanding our presence within and outside Brazil without sacrificing the closeness and trust we've always had with our customers," said Gabriel Paiva, CEO of Dfense.

In the short term, the objectives involve efficiently integrating Dfense into the FCamara ecosystem, diversifying its service portfolio, and solidifying its offerings with current clients. Subsequently, the goal will be to expand its presence in regulated and highly complex markets, as well as develop innovative solutions that reinforce the group's positioning as a leader in secure digital transformation.

FCamara: 11th acquisition since 2022

This is FCamara's 11th acquisition since 2022. In the last six months alone, the company has allocated R$100 million to expanding its ecosystem through strategic acquisitions, such as Distrito, the Portuguese consultancy Beta-i and, more recently, Avanti, which specializes in digital commerce platforms.
