Palo Alto Networks has written a cheque for Israeli cybersecurity firm Secdo.
For those who have never heard of the outfit, Secdo provides a platform for network visibility and analytics, as well as incident response and remediation.
Palo Alto CEO Mark McLaughlin said: “We believe security operations teams need the most advanced and consistent approach to end-point security. With Secdo’s EDR capabilities as part of our platform, we will accelerate our ability to detect and prevent successful cyber attacks across the cloud, endpoint, and network.”
Last year Secdo was rumoured to be on the hunt for channel partners in the UK -and was seen wining and dining security resellers and managed security services providers.
Now it is thought that the combined capabilities of Secdo and Palo Alto Networks will provide customers with the skills they need to swiftly and accurately detect and respond to cyber attacks.”
The deal is subject to closing conditions, with Palo Alto expecting the acquisition to be completed during its third fiscal quarter.
