Deloitte & Touche has made its second cloud cybersecurity acquisition of the year, buying almost all CloudQuest’s assets.
The idea is that CloudQuest’s cloud-native security capabilities will help Deloitte more seamlessly manage security workflows, reduce risk and improve data security as it expands its portfolio of cloud security orchestration, automation and response services and solutions.
Deborah Golden, Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory’s cyber and strategic risk leader and principal of Deloitte & Touche, said in a statement: “Our acquisition of CloudQuest represents our profound commitment to transforming alongside our clients, competing vigorously in the market and aggressively building out tech-enabled approaches that position Deloitte cyber as an unquestionable business enabler.”
CloudQuest co-founder and CEO Vijay Sarathy.Joining Deloitte will allow CloudQuest to expand its capabilities to help organisations protect against the next generation of security threats, promote continued innovation and agility and foster more efficient cloud security capabilities.
In January, Deloitte acquired Root9B, a provider of advanced cyber threat hunting services and solutions, to bolsters its detect and respond offerings.
