Juniper to acquire Cyphort

Earlier this week, Juniper announced its intent to acquire Cyphort that would enable to strengthen the capabilities of Juniper Sky Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP), giving security practitioners a consistent feature set for both on-premises and cloud solutions.

The Cyphort’s technology complements traditional security information and event management (SIEM) platforms. The open, scalable Cyphort security analytics platform helps incident responders and security analysts work more effectively to secure your business.

Combined with Sky ATP, Cyphort will provide increased efficiency and performance, a wider range of supported file types, and new threat-detection functionality that draws from advanced machine learning and behavioral analytics.

As cloud-based advanced threat prevention becomes an increasingly critical feature of next-generation firewalls, Juniper will continue to be a leader through forward-looking technology investments.
