Unified cybersecurity provider WatchGuard Technologies has announced the acquisition of CyGlass Technology Services, a provider of cloud and network-centric threat detection and response solutions. CyGlass’s cloud native platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to deliver enterprise-class cyber defense across hybrid networks to mid-sized and small organizations, at an affordable cost and without hardware, the companies said in a release.
The CyGlass technology will add to the WatchGuard Unified Security Platform architecture, delivering AI-based detection of network anomalies with a future Network Detection and Response (NDR) service, and will accelerate Open eXtended detection and response (XDR) capabilities within WatchGuard ThreatSync.
The immediate focus of the combined company is on supporting current CyGlass customers and partners with existing CyGlass solutions and integrating the CyGlass technology into the WatchGuard platform, the release stated.
