Palo Alto Networks has acquired an incident response and digital forensics consultancy, Crypsis, in a deal worth $265 million.
The deal is designed to spruce up its own enterprise security oversight platform and Crypsis will be integrated with Palo Alto Networks to strengthen its Cortex XDR services.
Cortex XDR already provides prevention, detection and incident response capabilities but Palo Alto wants Crypsis’ consultancy and forensics services to allow the platform to collect telemetry data, manage data breaches and initiative rapid response actions.
