TAC InfoSec to Acquire Israel-Based B2C Cybersecurity Firm Safehouse Technologies

Acquisition marks TAC Security’s strategic entry into consumer cybersecurity as digital threats move from enterprises to individuals, families, and everyday internet users

Tel Aviv, Israel & Mumbai, Maharashtra, India – Business Wire India

TAC InfoSec Limited (NSE: TAC), a global cybersecurity company, has announced its intention to acquire 100% of Israel-based Safehouse Technologies Ltd. The move marks TAC Security’s strategic entry into the business-to-consumer (B2C) cybersecurity segment.

Under the terms of the proposed transaction, TAC Security will acquire 100% of Safehouse’s issued share capital on a fully diluted basis. Upon completion, Safehouse will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TAC InfoSec Limited.

Safehouse’s Consumer App and Market Traction

Safehouse’s flagship consumer app, also named “Safehouse,” already demonstrates strong B2C cybersecurity potential. Key metrics and features include:

• Downloads: Over 10 lakhs (1 million) downloads
• Rating: 4.2-star rating on Google Play
• Core features: Unlimited VPN access, encrypted browsing, global servers across markets including the USA, UK, Singapore, Germany, India, and Brazil
• Security features: Threat blocking, link protection, phishing alerts, and breach-detection capabilities
• Privacy practices: No data shared with third parties, data encryption in transit, and the ability for users to request data deletion

The app is positioned as an all-in-one privacy and digital protection platform, giving TAC Security a product with existing market traction and a recognized user base for its consumer cybersecurity entry.

Strategic Rationale and Expansion

The transaction represents a significant expansion of TAC Security’s cybersecurity platform from enterprise, government, and technology customers into the fast-growing consumer digital protection market.

Upon completion, Safehouse Technologies Ltd. will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TAC InfoSec Limited. Alternatively, its business, assets, and intellectual property may be transferred as part of the transaction structure, subject to due diligence, regulatory requirements, and definitive agreements.

The proposed acquisition aligns with TAC Security’s strategy to build a consumer-facing cybersecurity platform through TAC Safehouse Technologies, a proposed new entity that will house:

• Safehouse-related consumer operations
• Product development
• Go-to-market execution
• Future B2C cybersecurity offerings

The Growing Cyber Threat Landscape

The acquisition comes at a time when cybercrime has become one of the largest economic threats globally. Key data points include:

• FBI 2024 Internet Crime Report: 859,532 complaints and reported losses exceeding $16 billion, a 33% increase from the prior year
• Cybersecurity Ventures (2025 estimate): Global cybercrime costs at $10.5 trillion annually, making cybercrime comparable in scale to one of the world’s largest economies
• India (Ministry of Home Affairs data): Approximately 65.9 lakh complaints and INR 55,659 crore in losses over five years

A New Growth Category for TAC Security

For TAC Security, the acquisition opens a new growth category. While enterprise cybersecurity has historically been the company’s core market, the consumer side is now becoming equally critical as individuals face:

• Phishing
• Identity theft
• Financial fraud
• Account takeover
• Mobile threats
• Privacy risks
• AI-enabled scams

Safehouse provides TAC with a foundation to create a trusted B2C cybersecurity brand, backed by TAC’s global security experience, technical depth, and listed-company governance.

Intellectual Property and Transaction Details

As part of the proposed transaction, TAC will acquire Safehouse’s intellectual property, including:

• Source code
• Product designs
• Trademarks
• Trade secrets
• Know-how
• Other IP developed in connection with Safehouse’s business
