WatchGuard Technologies has snapped up the cloudy security outfit CyGlass Technology Services.
For those not in the know, CyGlass’s cloud-native platform uses AI and ML capabilities to deliver cyber defence across hybrid networks, primarily to SMEs who need more hardware.
Watchguard wants CyGlass to help it deliver AI-based detection of network anomalies with a future network detection and response (NDR) service. It also aims to accelerate open eXtended detection and response (XDR) capabilities within WatchGuard ThreatSync.
WatchGuard chief product officer Andrew Young said that CyGlass’s success in the last year demonstrates that mid-sized companies and MSPs are seeking innovative detection and response solutions independent of costly hardware.
