Biggish Blue is acquiring Randori to help further simplify threat detection and response, it said.
The attack management software provider (ASM) helps clients identify external facing assets that are visible to attackers – and prioritise exposures which pose the greatest risk.
IBM thinks that this move will add automation and skills to IBM X-Force’s offensive cybersecurity team and advance IBM’s Hybrid Cloud strategy and strengthens its portfolio of AI-powered cybersecurity products and services.
Randori’s ASM software will be integrated with the extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities of IBM Security QRadar.
By doing this, security teams will be able to use real-time attack surface visibility for intelligent alert triage, threat hunting, and incident response, IBM claims.
IBM Security general manager Mary O’Brien said: “Our clients today are faced with managing a complex technology landscape of accelerating cyberattacks targeted at applications running across a variety of hybrid cloud environments – from public clouds, private clouds and on-premises.”
“In this environment, it is essential for organisations to arm themselves with attacker’s perspective in order to help find their most critical blind spots and focus their efforts on areas that will minimise business disruption and damages to revenue and reputation.”
Randori would be IBM’s fourth acquisition in 2022 as the company continues to bolster its hybrid cloud and AI skills and capabilities, including in cybersecurity.
