About us.

7th April 2025. Acora completes the acquisition of Hydras.

Acora, the business technology services partner built for the AI era, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Hydras.

David Rabson Chief Executive at Acora commented, bringing Stephen and Hydras into Acora has been a long-term ambition for Acora. Following the transformational M&A last year of Elastacloud, the pioneering Data Science and AI business, Hydras was my number one focus from an M&A perspective. Over recent years more and more of our customers have been asking us to grow or acquire AWS capabilities, giving them and us further optionality, fully supporting their business growth and multi-cloud journey. The Hydras team have been working alongside ours in a handful of named accounts and the acquisition is a natural fit for the staff and customers. We will fully integrate the business in the coming weeks and the services that Hydras brings underpins our market and sector focus.

An introduction from Hydras Founder, Stephen Wilding

After ten years in the cyber security industry I founded Hydras in 2010 as a hands-on security consultant & architect. In the years that have followed we have grown the team and I am proud how we challenge the larger consultancies having become a preferred supplier of our core solutions and further services to an impressive list of SME’s through to FTSE 100 enterprise organisations, helping them modernise their approach to security.

Our core vision is to provide a high class of service by focusing on the customer experience.  We do this by embedding ourselves and forming part of the customer team in order to deliver an aligned outcome. We aim to grow our range services by leveraging our highly skilled network and to continue to support organisations transform their cloud security by either working with them directly or providing them with the right talent.
