Infosys is expanding its global cybersecurity footprint with the $98 million acquisition of The Missing Link, a leading Australian cybersecurity and IT services firm.
The deal brings together two companies with aligned values, shared focus on innovation, and a strong track record in securing enterprise environments. The Missing Link (TML), founded in 1997, will maintain its current leadership and operational structure while leveraging Infosys’ global scale and resources.
Unlocking New Global Opportunities
CEO and co-founder Alex Gambotto described the acquisition as a “transformational moment” for the business he started nearly three decades ago from a garage. “We’ve built something special over the years—rooted in integrity, innovation, and delivering results. Partnering with Infosys means we can take that vision global,” Gambotto said.
He noted that the acquisition opens new career and growth opportunities for the TML team, while also enhancing the company’s ability to serve clients with cutting-edge solutions in cyber, cloud, and automation.
Infosys will now integrate TML’s expertise—especially in threat detection, Red and Blue Team operations, and vulnerability research—into its broader services portfolio.
Elevating Enterprise Security and Automation
With over 200 staff and long-standing vendor relationships, TML has built a reputation for excellence in cybersecurity services. The company recently hit $120 million in annual revenue, with FY24 marking its eighth consecutive year of growth.
Infosys EVP Satish HC said the combination of TML’s security depth with Infosys’ global platforms, such as Infosys Cobalt, would unlock “next-gen solutions” for securing modern enterprises.
“We’re delivering end-to-end digital protection, combining cloud innovation with battle-tested cyber operations,” he said.
Andrew Groth, EVP and regional head for Infosys A/NZ, described the acquisition as a strategic move to strengthen Infosys’ presence in Australia and New Zealand. “This enables us to bring global best practices to local clients, while accelerating digital transformation in key verticals.”
Future-Focused Expansion
Looking ahead to FY25, Gambotto hinted at plans to push deeper into automation and AI while building on TML’s cybersecurity foundation. “This partnership accelerates everything we’ve been doing,” he said.
The transaction is expected to close in TML’s fourth fiscal quarter of FY2025, subject to standard regulatory approvals. TH Global Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor to TML during the acquisition process.
