Latest Deloitte Acquisitions Focus on Cybersecurity, Systems Engineering

Deloitte is closing out July with the acquisitions of TransientX and Sentek Global.

Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory has acquired TransientX, a zero-trust network access (ZTNA) company based in New Jersey. The deal adds TransientX’s cloud-native application networking technology for ZTNA to Deloitte’s zero trust offerings and solutions.

In addition, Deloitte has acquired Sentek Global, a San Diego-based systems engineering and cybersecurity firm primarily serving the U.S. Navy.

This acquisition will expand Deloitte‘s existing presence in San Diego, while also bolstering its systems engineering capabilities and cyber offerings to other military branches and federal agencies.

Deloitte didn’t say how much it’s paying for either company.

“In terms of Sentek, we were attracted to their portfolio of successful mission-focused contracts, deep client relationships and staff with an outstanding track record of serving clients such as the U.S. Navy,” she said. “Sentek also has a long history in successfully supporting the cyber posture of defense clients. And coupled with their experience in systems engineering, this acquisition will continue to build on our cyber capabilities.”
