This strategic move reflects Cybit Group’s sharpened focus on delivering tailored technology solutions and managed services across data intelligence, AI, hybrid cloud, modern workspace, and security to the mid-market corporate and SME segment. The divestment enables both Cybit Group and Cybit Cyber to pursue growth strategies best aligned with their respective markets and customer needs.
