Cybercom buys Nexus Consulting and forms the Nordics' largest IT security
consultancy

Cybercom signed a contract with Nexus for acquisition of Nexus Consulting. The
IT security market for products and services is skyrocketing. Via the
acquisition, Cybercom creates an unrivalled IT security competence centre."IT security is one of our most business-critical areas of expertise," says
Anders Franzén, MD of Cybercom in Stockholm. "For quite some time, we've worked
with IT security-system solution development and consulting for finance- and
public-sector customers. Via the Nexus Consulting acquisition, we increase our
expertise in the IT security area. Nexus has many established technology niches
that expand Cybercom's existing IT security service portfolio."

Nexus Consulting is one of Sweden's leading players in information and IT
security consulting services. This operation is part of Technology Nexus, which
was launched in 1984. Nexus Consulting has 43 employees and annual sales of SEK
60 million. Via the acquisition means Cybercom now employs about 400 consultants
in Stockholm.

Technology Nexus AB owns Nexus Consulting and will hold an extraordinary
shareholders meeting on 9 April to get approval of the acquisition. Both
companies' boards support the deal. Takeover will occur on 10 April 2008. The
purchase price is SEK 30 million, with a supplementary purchase price (based on
2008 profit) that may not exceed SEK 5 million."Via Cybercom, we get a stable, international, growth-oriented owner with
consulting as its core operation," says Björn Lindeberg, MD of Nexus Consulting."Cybercom is a renowned security expert. And with us, Cybercom creates a
position as a clear market leader in IT security within the Nordics, an
operation with capacity to take on large, international projects."

IT security is one area that's been greatly affected by changes to standards and
guidelines. And much is happening in this area right now . . . "One example is an information-security management system that went into effect
in Sweden's public sector on 1 January 2008," says Tomas Rimming, IT security
division manager at Cybercom. "Another is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act - a law that
puts rigorous demands on information security and affects all US
stock-exchange-listed companies and their subsidiaries. Now we have totally new
opportunities to help our customers - and not just with guidelines and policies.
We also take a leading position in IT forensics, that is, sophisticated analyses
of IT-related crime. Here, we're the only operation in the Nordics to have
acquired certification linked to the Mastercard and Visa payment card industry
data security standard. With Nexus Consulting, we become a one-stop shop for all
IT security needs."
