Cybersécurité : Airbus met la main sur Quarkslab
空客集团近日宣布收购法国网络安全公司Quarkslab，以强化其数字安全业务布局。此次收购的具体金额未公开，但交易预计将在未来数月内完成，尚待监管部门批准。
Quarkslab成立于2011年，总部位于巴黎，专注于软件保护、漏洞研究和移动安全领域，拥有约80名员工。该公司以其开源逆向工程框架"Qiling"和二进制分析工具"QBDI"而闻名，客户涵盖国防、金融和科技等多个行业。
空客网络安全部门负责人表示，此次收购将增强空客在关键基础设施防护和物联网安全方面的能力，特别是在航空航天和国防领域。Quarkslab的技术专长将与空客现有的网络安全服务形成互补，帮助客户应对日益复杂的数字威胁。
近年来，空客持续投资网络安全领域，此前已收购了法国公司Infodas和德国公司Crypto AG的部分资产。此次收购Quarkslab进一步体现了空客在数字化进程中，将安全视为核心战略支柱的布局。
