On June 1, Reston, VA-based Electrosoft announced it has acquired Achilles Shield, Inc., a government cybersecurity services firm. The acquisition expands Electrosoft’s cybersecurity capabilities and services to federal civilian and defense organizations.
“Ensuring resilience from evolving cybersecurity threats remains one of the most critical elements of every government agency agenda,” said Dr. Sarbari Gupta, Electrosoft’s CEO. “With the addition of Achilles Shield, we are even better positioned to address the accelerating cybersecurity challenges of our federal defense and civilian customers.”
Under terms of the agreement, Achilles Shield is a wholly owned subsidiary of Electrosoft. Dr. Gupta also serves as the CEO of Achilles Shield.
