Why Cybersecurity is Critical in Mergers & Acquisitions



Acquisitions open the door to new growth opportunities—but they also introduce unseen security risks. Hidden vulnerabilities can be inherited through outdated infrastructures, legacy systems, and unsecured digital assets. These risks can undermine the value of the acquisition and leave your organization vulnerable to cyberattacks.


TRaViS addresses these challenges head-on, offering continuous external attack surface management (EASM) that ensures you aren’t left exposed after the deal closes.

The TRaViS Advantage in Mergers & Acquisitions

Complete, Continuous Visibility into Acquired Attack Surfaces

When acquiring a company, your primary concern is understanding the full scope of its security vulnerabilities. TRaViS offers comprehensive visibility into the attack surface of the acquired entity, eliminating the need for outdated spreadsheets, fragmented data, or time-consuming manual security reviews.

With TRaViS, you gain in-depth insights into every corner of your acquisition’s digital infrastructure. This includes vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and outdated software—all delivered in a unified platform that ensures nothing is overlooked.

Seamless Integration and Risk Management​

Identify and Eliminate Security Exposure Early

Many organizations unknowingly inherit risks during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) due to poor visibility into the acquired company’s security posture. TRaViS ensures this never happens. With continuous asset discovery and monitoring, TRaViS identifies security exposure before the acquisition is complete, so you can resolve issues early on.

By integrating TRaViS into your acquisition strategy, you ensure the acquired company’s assets are as secure as your own from day one. This proactive approach eliminates blind spots and strengthens your overall security posture.

Reduce Costs and Time During Due Diligence


 Manage Legacy Systems and Assets

Efficiently Manage Legacy Systems and Assets

Traditional security reviews during due diligence can be costly, time-consuming, and often leave gaps. TRaViS streamlines this process by offering automated, up-to-date scans of all assets involved in the acquisition. This eliminates the need for repetitive manual reviews, saving your organization time and money.


In addition, TRaViS identifies and monitors legacy systems inherited during mergers and acquisitions (M&A), preventing them from becoming security liabilities. You can seamlessly integrate or divest these assets without compromising security, knowing they are monitored continuously.


Ensure Cross-Team Collaboration


 

Get Security Teams Working Together with Custom Workflows

Post-acquisition, it’s crucial that security teams from both organizations align quickly. TRaViS makes this possible by offering customizable workflows and settings that bring both teams onto the same platform, enabling unified threat management and risk mitigation.

This seamless integration of tools ensures a consistent and strategic approach to security across the entire organization, avoiding confusion or miscommunication that can arise during large-scale mergers.

Prioritizing Threats: Target What Matters Most

No More Inherited Vulnerabilities

A major concern for SOC teams during M&A is the risk of inheriting unknown or unmanaged vulnerabilities. With TRaViS, this is no longer an issue. TRaViS offers a detailed threat prioritization system, allowing your team to focus on the most critical risks based on exploit severity, ease of attack, and potential impact.


This approach ensures that your security team is addressing the vulnerabilities that truly matter—rather than wasting time on low-priority risks. With TRaViS, you get a strategic, efficient process that helps you stay one step ahead of attackers.

Enhanced Monitoring and Intelligence
