Top 3 cyber risks facing PE firms

When a private equity firm acquires a new portfolio company, it also inherits all of that company’s cyber risks: 

  • Cybersecurity Gaps Across Portfolios: Diverse maturity levels and limited visibility create exploitable gaps. 
  • Criminals Targeting M&A: Rapid ownership changes and integration expose vulnerabilities. 
  • People and Systems Risks: Disgruntled employees, outdated IT systems, and third-party contracts can lead to costly surprises.
