Cegeka acquires cybersecurity specialist 3Point to accelerate leadership in defense and public safety environments 

Hasselt, Belgium – June 23, 2026  This acquisition represents an important next step in Cegeka’s strategy to build a leading position in the defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure sectors. By combining 3Point’s deep expertise and strong track record in highly classified environments with Cegeka’s scale and execution power, the company is significantly strengthening its ability to support these sectors in addressing increasingly complex, mission-critical challenges.  

As geopolitical tensions rise and investments in defense and public safety accelerate across Europe, Cegeka is positioning itself as a long-term partner for governments and critical organizations, capable of designing, securing, and operating the digital backbone of the most sensitive environments.  

Advancing Cegeka’s position in defense and high-security environments  

Koen Deryckere, CEO of Cegeka, said: “This acquisition marks an important milestone in our strategy. We are building a leading position in defense, intelligence, and highly classified environments. Europe's security and sovereignty increasingly depend on resilient digital infrastructure, and on partners who are trusted to protect it. With 3Point, we are building Cegeka's position as a long-term partner for the defense, intelligence and public safety sectors, in the environments where trust and discretion matter most.”  

Headquartered in Antwerp, 3Point provides advisory and project-based services in security architecture, cyber defense operations, and customized IT solutions. The company also developed proprietary threat monitoring solutions, like Pointguard, that support organizations in protecting their critical infrastructure and operations.  

3Point’s solution Pointguard will further strengthen Cegeka’s capabilities in pre-emptive threat monitoring. In today’s landscape, where cybersecurity threats are increasingly amplified by the use of AI, having comprehensive and up-to-date intelligence on potential attack vectors is critical. Pointguard enables advanced monitoring, including dark web analysis and threat hunting, allowing organizations to proactively detect and respond to cyber threats at an earlier stage.  

Combining expertise and scale to address rising demand  

3Point has built a strong reputation in the Belgian defense and public safety ecosystem, operating in highly sensitive and classified environments and supporting key national initiatives. 

With this acquisition, Cegeka gains immediate access to specialized expertise, security-cleared talent, and deep domain knowledge and experience in defense and public safety. At the same time, 3Point will benefit from Cegeka’s scale, operational backbone, and international footprint to further accelerate its growth. 

The combination will enable both companies to better respond to the growing demand for large-scale, high-security IT and cybersecurity projects driven by increased investments in defense and critical infrastructure.   

Scaling capabilities in defense, intelligence and space

Following the transaction, 3Point will work closely with Cegeka to further expand its Defense, Intelligence, and Space activities. The combined teams will focus on delivering complex, highly classified programs and supporting governments and organizations in safeguarding their most critical operations.

Together, we are uniquely positioned to support large-scale, mission-critical programs and to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of defense and public safety in Belgium and across Europe.” 

Paul Meys, Co-founder of 3Point: “This marks an important step in the next phase of 3Point’s growth. By joining forces with a partner like Cegeka, we gain the scale, reach, and complementary capabilities needed to further develop our expertise and support larger, more complex programs across critical environments.
