Risk analytics company QOMPLX has entered into an agreement to acquire Sentar, the two companies announced.

Sentar is a cyber-intelligence company, applying analytics, operations and systems engineering expertise to protect our national security by innovating, building, and securing mission-critical assets.

The Huntsville-based company will continue to be headed by President Darren Kraabel with other key management. Bridget McCaleb will continue in a formal capacity leading integration efforts for Sentar during the transition.

In the past three years, Sentar’s Research & Development Division has helped to drive growth of its cybersecurity services division with innovative technology and approaches.

“I am excited to take on this new role and pursue a new challenge combining QOMPLX’s robust cybersecurity offerings with Sentar’s established presence in the Defense sector,” said Kraabel. “Our organization celebrated its 30th anniversary in February 2020, and reaching this milestone helped us put in perspective our impressive growth journey.

“It is hence opportune at this time that we embark on an exciting new journey by joining forces with QOMPLX to transform 30 years of hard work into a new competitive platform.”

Sentar and QOMPLX have already begun to partner around industrial control systems security and continuous monitoring using shared expertise and QOMPLX software and analytics. The acquisition of Sentar’s expert personnel and its decades-long technical and national security sector experience is an exciting prospect for QOMPLX to enhance its cybersecurity and broader analytics offerings across the government.

“We are excited to welcome Darren and the highly experienced Sentar team to QOMPLX and look forward to supporting these mission critical customers,” said Jason Crabtree, co-founder, and CEO of QOMPLX. “QOMPLX is gaining a tremendous group of dedicated professionals who have built an impressive and expanding portfolio of government and defense contracts.

“We are excited that this team, further enabled by QOMPLX technology, will continue forward as a key platform for future growth and expansion of critical capabilities across the government. Sentar is the perfect catalyst for QOMPLX to scale its unique offerings across the national security and broader government sector in this critical time.”
