Exclusive Networks (Euronext Paris: EXN), a global leader in cybersecurity, announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Ingecom, a Value Added Distributor (VAD) 100% specialized in cybersecurity and cyber intelligence solutions to accelerate Ignition Technology expansion in Southern Europe.
