About

Cipher

Cipher is a cybersecurity company founded in 2000 by Eduardo Bouças and later integrated into Prosegur's global cybersecurity business. Prosegur's official acquisition records describe Cipher as a provider of managed security services and security consulting with operations in the United States, Brazil and the United Kingdom. Its service model was supported by 24/7 security operations centers and the Cipher Intelligence security research function. Prosegur reached an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Cipher in December 2018 and completed the transaction in 2019. Bouças remained with the organization as a shareholder and global cybersecurity executive following the deal. Prosegur subsequently consolidated its cybersecurity operations under the Cipher brand across several international markets. Services associated with the business include managed security, security monitoring, incident response, consulting, compliance and threat intelligence. Official Prosegur records specifically identify 2000 as Cipher's founding year and Bouças as founder and CEO. The supplied cipher.com URL could not be reliably fetched during this verification, so site_status is not awarded.

Cipher is a global cybersecurity company headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in 2000.

Cipher became the Cybersecurity Division of Prosegur after being acquired in February 2019, joining a publicly traded global leader in the private security industry with over 175,000 employees across 25 countries on five continents. The company holds extensive certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 20000, ISO 9001, SOC I, SOC II, PCI QSA and PCI ASV, and has been recognized by research firms including Frost & Sullivan and Forrester.
