The agreement strengthens the protection offered against cyber threats, adding an additional layer of analysis and reducing the attack surface
Vectra AI, a leader in cyber threat detection and remediation, today announced the acquisition of Gemassmer will lead Vectra's push into this new market in partnership with Aaron Turner, a leading provider of Identity and Software as a Service (SaaS) posture management. The acquisition makes Vectra the only vendor able to offer its customers the ability to securely configure and detect active threats in cloud identity and SaaS applications, including Microsoft Azure AD and Microsoft 365.
“We have helped companies stop the wide range of modern attack campaigns – from ransomware targeting the supply chain to nation-state attacks like the SolarWinds attack,” he said. Hitesh Sheth, President and CEO of Vectra AI. "SaaS applications have become a haven for cyber attacks and cloud identity is the key to access. Thanks to the combined expertise of the Vectra and Siriux teams, we are now able to offer the best protection to customers forced to face these threats."
Vectra is known for its world-class AI-driven threat detection and response solution for hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, including public cloud, Saas, network and identity. Siriux extends Vectra's coverage even earlier in the threat lifecycle, providing a layer of analysis to evaluate complex identity and SaaS configurations – closing gaps that allow attackers access.
Siriux's industry-leading approach is based on four key principles: privilege management, attack surface reduction, service hardening and trust transitive management. Siriux analyzes the configuration of applications such as Microsoft Azure AD and Microsoft 365 against these principles, so as to obtain practical, prioritized recommendations to reduce the risk of a successful attack.
“Our solution ensures that organizations do everything possible to identify frequent infiltration routes into SaaS platforms and minimize the attack surface of their cloud identity and SaaS applications, following our recommendations,” he explained Aaron Turner, Founder e CEO di Siriux Security Technologies. “By joining forces with Vectra, we are able to enhance our solution with the proven ability to detect and react, thanks to AI, to rapidly evolving attack methods that can still bypass even the best security posture.”
The acquisition reinforces Vectra's commitment to addressing the security challenges facing customers as they accelerate the adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures with heavy reliance on cloud identity and SaaS applications.
The financial terms of the deal with Siriux Security Technologies were not disclosed. Under the transaction, Siriux Security Technologies will operate under the brand and leadership of Vectra.
