"The AGC team exceeded expectations and was a valuable partner throughout every stage of the process. AGC's deep understanding of the cybersecurity industry, strong relationships with strategic players, and breadth of M&A experience were crucial factors in achieving such a successful result. We would not have been able to achieve the outcome we did if it were not for the hands-on, partner-led process Maria, Eric, and their team provided to our team every day."
