Hexaware acquires Cybersolve for $66 million to boost AI-led cybersecurity capabilities

Hexaware Technologies has announced the acquisition of Cybersolve, a US-based cybersecurity and cloud solutions firm, in a deal valued at $66 million. The acquisition is aimed at strengthening Hexaware’s artificial intelligence-driven cybersecurity and risk management portfolio while expanding its presence in the North American market.

According to Hexaware, this acquisition aligns with its strategic focus on building end-to-end AI-led solutions across digital transformation, cloud modernization, and cybersecurity. Cybersolve’s expertise in data security and compliance will now be integrated into Hexaware’s global cybersecurity framework, further enhancing its managed security services and AI-powered threat detection capabilities.

The deal marks a significant step in Hexaware’s efforts to address the growing global demand for advanced cybersecurity infrastructure as businesses accelerate digital transformation and adopt hybrid and cloud-native models.

Strategic move for AI-led security

Hexaware CEO R Srikrishna said the acquisition of Cybersolve represents an important milestone in the company’s journey to build intelligent, adaptive, and scalable digital ecosystems. “As digital risks evolve faster than ever, AI-driven security is no longer optional—it is critical. Cybersolve’s capabilities in AI automation and risk analytics perfectly complement our existing cybersecurity portfolio,” he said.

Cybersolve, founded in 2007, is known for its cloud security, identity management, and compliance automation solutions tailored for industries such as healthcare, finance, and retail. The company provides a suite of services that integrates AI with real-time monitoring and automated response systems, allowing organizations to predict and neutralize security threats before they escalate.

Following the acquisition, Cybersolve’s leadership and core teams will join Hexaware, operating under its global cybersecurity and digital assurance division. The integration process is expected to be completed over the next few quarters, with both firms collaborating on joint AI-led product development and global go-to-market strategies.

Expanding global cybersecurity presence

This acquisition enhances Hexaware’s cybersecurity footprint across the US, where Cybersolve maintains a strong client base. The move also supports Hexaware’s expansion goals in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, particularly as businesses face increased regulatory scrutiny over data privacy and cross-border compliance.

Industry analysts have noted that Hexaware’s acquisition of Cybersolve is consistent with a broader trend of IT firms investing in cybersecurity startups to strengthen AI-led digital risk frameworks. The increasing complexity of cyber threats, coupled with the rise in generative AI tools, has led enterprises to seek more autonomous, self-learning security systems capable of detecting and preventing breaches proactively.

“Enterprises are shifting from reactive cybersecurity to predictive and AI-driven approaches,” said a Gartner analyst. “Hexaware’s move to acquire Cybersolve positions it competitively against global peers who are building integrated AI cybersecurity ecosystems.”

Strengthening AI and cloud synergy

In addition to cybersecurity, Hexaware plans to leverage Cybersolve’s cloud migration and DevSecOps capabilities. The integration of these services will allow Hexaware to offer unified security and performance solutions across hybrid environments—combining cloud governance, AI analytics, and zero-trust architecture.

The company emphasized that AI will play a central role in enhancing cyber resilience. Hexaware’s AI and analytics division will collaborate with Cybersolve to develop new frameworks for predictive cybersecurity, identity intelligence, and continuous compliance monitoring. These frameworks aim to help organizations automate risk management while maintaining transparency in data governance.

Hexaware also aims to introduce AI-enabled products derived from Cybersolve’s existing security automation tools. These will likely be integrated into Hexaware’s existing digital platforms that cater to BFSI, healthcare, and enterprise technology sectors.

Global investment momentum in AI security

Hexaware’s move follows a broader wave of consolidation in the global AI cybersecurity space, where large technology service providers are acquiring niche AI firms to stay ahead of emerging threats. With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated and targeted, the integration of AI into cybersecurity operations is increasingly seen as a competitive differentiator.

According to Precedence Research, the global AI in cybersecurity market is projected to surpass $133 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of over 20 percent. India’s contribution to this market is expanding rapidly, with IT service providers like Hexaware, Infosys, and Wipro investing heavily in AI-driven defense infrastructure.

A long-term bet on intelligent risk management

For Hexaware, the Cybersolve acquisition reflects its commitment to embedding AI into every layer of enterprise technology. The company has consistently invested in automation, data intelligence, and AI governance to meet the evolving demands of clients seeking faster, safer digital transformation.

Industry observers suggest that this deal could accelerate Hexaware’s growth in high-value enterprise accounts across BFSI and public sector clients, where cybersecurity and compliance are critical.

By integrating Cybersolve’s AI-led risk analytics with Hexaware’s automation-first strategy, the company aims to position itself as a trusted global partner for digital trust and resilience.

R Srikrishna added that the acquisition will also help Hexaware advance its goal of becoming a “cognitive enterprise enabler,” using AI to connect technology, process, and people securely. “Our combined teams will focus on delivering cybersecurity that not only protects but also predicts and evolves with the business,” he said.

With Cybersolve’s integration, Hexaware is expected to strengthen its market position as one of India’s leading technology firms driving intelligent cybersecurity innovation for the global enterprise landscape.
