Infotrust has completed the acquisition of Canberra‑based cyber security consultancy Catalyst Cyber, which specialises in serving Federal Government clients with security‑cleared staff and high‑assurance cyber services. The deal reinforces Infotrust’s cyber‑first growth strategy and deepens its presence in regulated sovereign cyber markets, particularly among Commonwealth and defence‑aligned customers.

A performance‑linked structure based on a 5x multiple of forecast FY26 EBITDA, plus earn‑out provisions at a 6x multiple for EBITDA above the FY26 baseline, ties final consideration and additional share issuance to Catalyst Cyber’s actual earnings and retention of key personnel, aligning vendor incentives with long‑term operational performance.
