Ignoring the potential exposure introduced with a new IT ecosystem post-portfolio change can lead to increased risk of malware attacks, including ransomware, business email compromise and others. Additionally, acquisitions often include intellectual property (IP), which may have driven a premium in the cost. Misunderstanding and addressing the risks to the IP could lead to significant and rapid loss of value in an acquisition. Architectures and controls used to support mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures can be leveraged, saving costs, potentially reducing transition service agreement resources and improving efficiencies. Early and extensive understanding of the IT landscape will allow for appropriate funding and staffing expectations to meet synergy expectations. L5C has decades of experience working with F500 companies as they navigate these portfolio changes.
