"Cybersecurity remains a priority investment area for the Group. We are pleased to bring Maple Woods into the business, strengthening our underlying capabilities and supporting the continued scaling of managed security services across our customer base."
Regulatory Disclosure
This announcement is made on a voluntary basis as the acquisition does not meet the thresholds for categorisation in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and is therefore not subject to approval by Datatec shareholders.
