Airbus In Talks to Buy Atos Cybersecurity Unit

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.
