By Light Professional IT Services LLC of Arlington, VA announced on May 16 the acquisition of Metova Federal, LLC, a leading cyber range and cyber training services provider to the US Government. With the addition of Metova Federal’s software, solutions and services, By Light is well positioned to help customers meet increasingly complex and ever-changing mission threats and requirements. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
For more than ten years, Metova
Federal has been an innovative information technology solutions provider
specializing in cyber products and services, training and software development.
The company offers CyberCENTS, a cyber training, exercise and mission
qualification platform to support federal and state agencies in multi-domain
environments. This market-leading cyberattack emulation environment is
complimented with a range of other technical and professional services in
support of customers across the DoD and in Federal Civilian, State and Local,
and Commercial markets.
Bob Donahue Jr., CEO and founder
of By Light, said, “We are thrilled to combine Metova Federal’s proven
track record as a high-end, mission-critical cyber range and cyber services
provider with By Light’s own strong cyber and intel practice. This acquisition
will allow us to expand and diversify our cyber offering to better serve our
customers.”
By Light’s acquisition of Metova
Federal is the Company’s third since Sagewind Capital, a private equity firm
with extensive experience backing strong management teams in the government and
defense industry, acquired the Company in 2017. In 2018, By Light acquired Axom
Technologies, followed by its acquisition of Phacil, Inc. in March of 2019.
Steven Lefkowitz, managing partner of Sagewind, said, “By Light’s acquisition of Metova Federal is another important step in the execution of our strategy of backing great management teams to scale businesses. We are delighted by the progress that By Light has made under our ownership over the past two years and excited to capitalize on many of the attractive opportunities still before us through our partnership with Bob Donahue and his team.”
