Harlay Avocats advised the sellers and the company Cosmian Tech in connection with the acquisition of Cosmian Tech by Groupe Atos. Groupe Atos has completed the acquisition of Cosmian Tech, a French deeptech specialising in the protection of sensitive data. Founded in 2018 by Sandrine Murcia, Bruno Grieder and Raphaël Auphan, Cosmian Tech provides solutions that enable companies to regain control over the security of confidential data, notably through cryptographic key management technologies (KMS). The acquisition paves the way for the deployment of a sovereign key management solution that will strengthen the data protection product offering of Eviden, Groupe Atos's products division. The solution combines the power of Eviden's sovereign hardware security modules (HSMs) with Cosmian Tech's high-performance, crypto‑agile KMS. Integrating Cosmian Tech's key management technologies will allow Eviden to expand its cybersecurity product range, enhance data security for French and European companies, and reinforce its position as a European leader in cybersecurity and advanced digital technologies. Harlay Avocats represented the sellers and Cosmian Tech with a team composed by: Marie Laure de Cordovez (partner) and Charlotte Striffler (senior counsel).
