Airbus In Talks to Buy Atos Cybersecurity Unit for Up to $2 Billion

Airbus is in talks to buy Atos’s cybersecurity unit, with an indicative offer that values the business at up to 1.8 billion euros ($1.97 billion) including debt.

Facing fresh financial constraints, French IT group Atos is revisiting its asset-sale plans nearly a year after the European plane maker’s failed bid to take a minority stake in the Atos division that houses the cybersecurity unit.
