IANS Research, a leading provider of independent research and advisory services for the information security industry, has just secured a significant investment from Apax Digital Fund II.
The investment, made by Apax Digital Funds, will support IANS in its efforts to assist more CISOs in safeguarding their organisations amidst a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
