"The group, already established in the field of security, will now reinforce its security consulting and audit expertise of its Econocom cyber security division," the company wrote.

In June, the group also set up Econocom Digital Security, while earlier this month it has launched its first commercial paper programme, capped at €300m.

"This flexible, highly competitive tool will enable the group to continue to diversify its short-term financing sources. These funds will replace part of the existing bank credit facility and are intended to finance its working capital requirements," Econocom wrote.
