JFrog has agreed to buy Vdoo for $300 million to provide holistic security from the development environment to edges, IoT and devices.
JFrong said that the Tel Aviv, Israel-based Vdoo brings years of experience to bear around software architecture and vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and binary code analysis. The combined company will deliver advanced security offerings for developers and security engineers, focusing on securing the software lifecycle through DevSecOps.
Vdoo approach to securing the software development lifecycle goes beyond source code. It examines binaries to get visibility into configuration and key encryption activities after the code is compiled into files.
Vdoo Co-Founder and CEO Nati Davidi said the binaries were similar to the production environment than source code, and closely mimics what an attacker sees.
“For us, binary is at the core of everything. Through it, you understand the contextual threat.”
JFrog and Vdoo both have sets of products available in the cloud and on-premises.
JFrog Co-Founder and CEO Shlomi Ben Haim said Vdoo brings extensive top-down selling experience working with security engineers and the C-suite. In contrast, Ben Haim said JFrog has made bottom-up experience selling to developers and DevOps.
Initial integration efforts will focus on merging the infrastructure and databases for the two products together. From there, the combined company will begin shipping Vdoo capabilities inside the JFrog platform, with a complete integration of Vdoo’s technology into JFrog expected next year.
