Securitas has finalized its acquisition of Liferaft, a recognized leader in open‑source intelligence (OSINT) and threat-intelligence technology, boosting Securitas’ intelligence‑led security capabilities for enterprises navigating increasingly complex global risk environments.
As organizations face more digital risk signals, increasing geopolitical uncertainty, and rapidly evolving threats, the demand for actionable, timely intelligence has never been greater. Liferaft’s innovative technology uses publicly available data and converts it into valuable intelligence that enables organizations to detect, assess, and respond to emerging threats before they escalate.
Strengthened risk-intelligence offerings
This acquisition augments Securitas’ global ecosystem of digital and intelligence-led services with leading situational awareness-driven threat monitoring and expert advisors in risk intelligence, helping clients act decisively as risks to their people, operations, assets, and corporate reputation unfold.
“Liferaft is a strong strategic fit for Securitas as we accelerate our intelligence‑led security capabilities. Our clients operate in environments where threats arise swiftly and carry significant impact, making reliable insight indispensable. Combining Liferaft’s advanced technology with Securitas’ global intelligence services, trusted relationships, and global footprint enables us to deliver higher levels of awareness, interpretation, and preparedness against emerging risks,” says Magnus Ahlqvist, President and CEO.
Expanding global reach and impact
Founded in 2014 in Halifax, Canada, Liferaft has established a strong presence across North America with its OSINT‑driven threat intelligence solutions. The combination pairs Liferaft’s cutting-edge analytics and OSINT technology, which transforms intelligence into operational action, with Securitas’ operational expertise and global presence.
“Organizations today require intelligence that enables confident decision-making in fast‑changing, volatile environments. Joining Securitas allows us to reach more clients worldwide and to deepen the connection between digital insight and real‑world protective actions. Together, we’re positioned to help clients anticipate threats earlier and respond with greater confidence to the risks that matter most,” says Jonathan Graff, CEO of Liferaft.
