Strategic Stake Acquisition in Automotive Cybersecurity​

The most material announcement involves the acquisition of a strategic stake in Cymotive Technologies LTD. Cymotive, headquartered in Israel, is recognized as a leading automotive cybersecurity specialist. The company was jointly founded by senior Israeli cybersecurity leaders and the Volkswagen Group's automotive software company.

Cymotive specializes in end-to-end vehicle lifecycle cybersecurity. Its domain expertise covers secure architecture, threat modeling, intrusion detection, continuous monitoring, and regulatory compliance. The firm serves as a cybersecurity partner to major global automotive players. Key offerings include Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS), Automated security and penetration testing (CyClarity), Vulnerability management (CarAlert), and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).

KPIT stated that acquiring Cymotive aligns with the company's long-term goal of generating differentiated, AI solutions-led value for global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This move significantly strengthens KPIT’s capabilities in automotive cybersecurity, which is viewed as a natural extension of its core embedded and systems engineering business.

By integrating Cymotive's expertise, KPIT enhances its value proposition, enabling global OEMs to adopt an integrated approach that embeds cybersecurity into vehicle platforms across their entire lifecycle, from design through production and operation. This investment is also expected to bolster KPIT’s solutions and products strategy, creating opportunities for developing reusable platforms and cybersecurity products, thereby adding to product and licensing-led revenue streams alongside existing engineering engagements.

The initial investment of USD 10 million in Preference Capital is set to close in mid-June 2026. The total consideration for acquiring the entire stake is expected to be determined across two tranches and is dependent on the actual revenue and EBIT numbers achieved by Cymotive.
