SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The increase in cyber-attacks that cause operational disruptions have increased investments in cybersecurity solutions around the world. In response to the demand and customers' needs, Stefanini Group announced it has acquired cybersecurity firm Safeway Consultancy.

Safeway was founded 15 years ago with an aim to be the first "boutique consultancy" in Information Security and Cybersecurity in the Brazilian market.
