IBM Acquires Logiq Consulting to Expand UK Cybersecurity and Secure Digital Transformation Capabilities

IBM (NYSE: IBM) acquired Logiq Consulting, a UK cybersecurity consultancy with expertise across defence, critical national infrastructure, government and other highly regulated sectors. The deal expands IBM Consulting’s cybersecurity and sovereign technology capabilities in the UK.

Logiq Consulting brings capabilities in cybersecurity assurance, Secure by Design, secure systems engineering, digital transformation and managed services. IBM said the acquisition will complement its existing SiXworks business and support its broader hybrid cloud, AI and digital sovereignty strategy, particularly for clients that need tighter control over sensitive data and technology environments.

The transaction also adds Logiq’s DISX platform, a managed sovereign collaboration system used to help government suppliers securely exchange sensitive information with UK government and defence organizations. IBM said the acquisition should strengthen its ability to help clients manage cyber risk, protect critical services and adopt AI securely.
