Advisor to the shareholders of Advens, the first French cybersecurity pure player, for their transaction with CAPZA Growth Tech

Natixis Partners, in a joint mandate with Clipperton, acted as financial advisor to Advens shareholders, on the sale of a minority stake to CAPZA Growth Tech, while the founder Alexandre Fayeulle and the management team remain majority shareholders. Advens is the leading French pure player in cybersecurity with over €30 million net sales expected for 2021. Advens offers a comprehensive cybersecurity offering that combines high value-added services with an innovative Security-as-a-Service model to meet the growing protection needs of companies from all sectors. With the support of CAPZA, Advens’ ambition is to become a leader in cybersecurity and the first SOC-as-a-Service provider in Europe. Advens shareholders are also further pioneering an original corporate model caring for societal impact, with the creation of an endowment fund that will support societal initiatives, in particular to promote the inclusion and education of the younger generation, as Advens already recently did through its support to the LinkedOut project.
