Infosys Buys an Australian Cyber Specialist

Infosys, the Indian IT services and consulting company, has acquired The Missing Link, an Australian cybersecurity services firm. Infosys announced the definitive agreement on April 17, 2025, saying the deal strengthens its cybersecurity and cloud capabilities across Australia and Asia. The deal closed on May 2.

What The Missing Link Brings

Founded in 1997, The Missing Link sells security advice and managed services, from attack simulation to compliance work. Its staff include Red Team and Blue Team specialists, and it runs a Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) that will join Infosys’ network of cyber defense centers.

Full-Stack Security Services

Infosys says the combined business can offer full-stack cybersecurity services covering a customer’s data and networks. Cloud skills come with it.

A Bigger Footprint in Australia

The deal expands Infosys’ presence in Australia, which it calls a fast-growing market. The Missing Link has served large enterprises for 27 years.

What the Executives Said

“Technology led transformation and securing the enterprise are amongst the highest priorities for global corporations,” said Satish HC, EVP and Chief Delivery Officer at Infosys. He said the combination with The Missing Link and Infosys Cobalt, its cloud offering, would bring specialized end-to-end cybersecurity services to customers.

Deal Terms

Investment bank TH Global Capital advised The Missing Link. Alex Gambotto, its founder and CEO, said he was proud of what the company had built “over the last 27 years” and thrilled to be joining Infosys.

Why IT Firms Are Buying Security Specialists

It’s a familiar pattern. Many clients now want a single provider that can run their cloud systems and secure them too, rather than juggling separate contracts with half a dozen vendors.

What Comes Next

Integration comes next. Infosys has to fold The Missing Link’s teams and its security operations center into a global delivery network of more than 300,000 people without losing the specialists who made the firm worth buying. For Australian clients, it means a local security partner backed by a much larger company.
