LevelBlue has completed its acquisition of Trustwave to claim the world’s largest pure-play MSSP.
Bob McCullen, chairman and chief executive officer of LevelBlue ,said, “The acquisition of Trustwave makes us the most complete cybersecurity partner in the industry. We’re redefining what it means to be a managed security provider—combining world-class human expertise with AI-powered, platform-led services to give clients faster detection, smarter response, and long-lasting resilience against evolving threats. By uniting offensive and defensive strengths, we can deliver true defence in depth for enterprises, governments, and partners worldwide.”
Earlier this year, Trustwave received full authorised status under both the Federal Risk and Authorisation Management Program (FedRAMP) and StateRAMP. These credentials significantly strengthen LevelBlue’s ability to serve the U.S. Department of Defence, the Defensc Industrial Base, federal agencies, and state and local governments worldwide, providing streamlined procurement, compliance assurance, and mission-critical resilience for organisations that cannot afford downtime or exposure.
Craig Robinson, IDC research vice president for security services, said, “LevelBlue’s acquisition of Trustwave, on the heels of the Stroz Friedberg transaction, marks a pivotal moment in cybersecurity, delivering a very broad portfolio of capabilities among pure-play services providers. As cyber risks escalate, resilience is now mission-critical for enterprises and government agencies alike.
This acquisition is part of LevelBlue’s broader strategy to merge the industry’s strongest organisations and capabilities to deliver superior outcomes for clients. In addition to acquiring Trustwave, LevelBlue recently announced the completion of its acquisition of Aon’s Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property (IP) Litigation consulting groups, including Stroz Friedberg and Elysium Digital.
These strategic consolidations address the growing demand for more comprehensive, integrated, and adaptive cybersecurity solutions, positioning LevelBlue as the largest independent, pure-play MSSP globally. The company remains committed to strengthening partnerships, maximising measurable ROI for clients, and driving innovation to meet evolving threats.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
