Security outfit Sophos has bought Capsule8 which provides runtime visibility, detection and response for Linux production servers and containers covering on-premise and cloud workloads.
Sophos chief product officer Dan Schiappa said that Sophos was already protecting more than two million servers for over 85,000 customers worldwide. In addition, the Sophos server security business is growing at more than 20 percent per year.
“Comprehensive server protection is a crucial component of any effective cybersecurity strategy that organisations of all sizes are increasingly focused on, especially as more workloads move to the cloud. With Capsule8, Sophos is delivering advanced, differentiated solutions to protect server environments, and expanding its position as a leading global cybersecurity provider.”
