Zerolynx joins Grupo Cybertix to lead cybersecurity in the SME environment.

The cybersecurity sector is at a turning point. With exponential growth in cyber threats and unprecedented sophistication in attacks, companies need innovative and effective solutions. In this context, the recent integration of Zerolynx into the Cybertix Group represents a strategic step to consolidate a more robust, automated, and accessible cybersecurity model for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The integration of Zerolynx with Cybertix strengthens a digital security ecosystem that already stood out for its AI-based protection capabilities. With this union, the service portfolio of Grupo Cybertix is expanded, including new specialized areas such as Red Teaming, Forensics, Threat Hunting, and Cyber Intelligence. These capabilities will enable the group not only to detect and mitigate threats more quickly but also to offer its network of clients new advanced solutions and services for incident prevention and response.

The agreement, formalized on February 28, marks a milestone in the expansion of Cybertix, strengthening its positioning as a benchmark in cybersecurity. In fact, the union will be immediately visible at the next industry event, RootedCON 2025, where both organizations will share a booth.

According to Xabier Mitxelena, CEO of Cybertix, “this acquisition will strengthen the key areas where Cybertix is consolidating its market: simplification, knowledge and service automation, and continuous improvement in attack simulation processes, incident detection, and prevention.”

"For his part, Lorenzo Díaz de Apodaca, CEO of Cybertix, has highlighted that “thanks to this quantitative and qualitative leap, the company will have more than 60 professionals experts in the field of digital protection and will strengthen its Training & Awareness, All in One Services, and Industrial Cybersecurity lines, with activities in Cyber Intelligence, Red Teaming, Threat Hunting, Advance Attack Simulation, GRC, and Forensics”."

Challenges and Opportunities in Cybersecurity for SMEs

The current landscape shows that 43% of cyberattacks target SMEs, an alarming statistic considering that many of them lack the necessary resources to face these threats. The shortage of personnel in cybersecurity, combined with the increasing complexity of cyberattacks, demands more accessible and effective solutions. This is where automation and AI play a key role, allowing for the optimization of threat detection and response without the need for large investments.

The agreement between Cybertix and Zerolynx not only addresses this need but also creates new business opportunities in a constantly evolving market. Cybersecurity is no longer an option but a strategic priority for any organization that wants to ensure its operational continuity and protect its reputation.

In the words of Juan Antonio Calles, CEO of Zerolynx and new member of the Board of Directors of Cybertix, “we want to broaden horizons, bringing cybersecurity to new market segments that we were not yet able to reach, while maintaining our values and that imprint that has always characterized a project with a soul as different as that of Zerolynx.”

Synergy as a growth engine

Thanks to this integration, the joint team exceeds 60 professionals specialized in digital protection, strengthening the already existing areas of Cybertix such as training and awareness in cybersecurity, all-in-one services, and industrial security. Furthermore, the collaboration opens new avenues for innovation in simulated attack methodologies, proactive threat detection, and real-time incident response.

This synergy reinforces the mission of both companies: to democratize cybersecurity and bring advanced solutions closer to those organizations that need it the most. With a well-defined expansion strategy and a focus on excellence, Cybertix and Zerolynx are consolidating themselves as a benchmark in the field of digital protection.

"Juan Antonio Calles has also emphasized that Zerolynx is not the first addition and it will not be the last, as the Cybertix concept aims to be a grouping, a company of companies that, like an umbrella, incorporates businesses and projects that contribute to the planned direction."

Cybersecurity remains a constantly evolving challenge, but with strategic partnerships like this, the sector is moving towards a safer and more resilient future. The combination of automation, artificial intelligence, and a highly qualified team of experts will enable companies to face digital challenges with greater confidence and effectiveness.
