When Private Equity buys a company and then outsource IT, do the companies tend to become more vulnerable to hacks?

Private equity has been on a buying spree and with many employees from the newly bought companies being laid off, including IT, I was curious to know if that tends to make the companies more vulnerable to hacks. Recently saw this comment:

If this is more likely the case, it would be quite unwise to cut internal IT employees.
