Fortinet has completed the acquisition of CyberSponse, a leading Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform provider based in Arlington, Virginia. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
CyberSponse, already a Fortinet Security Fabric partner, will further extend the automation and incident response capabilities of FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM and FortiGate, for example, and further simplify security operations.
The combination of Fortinet and CyberSponse will equip security analysts across organizations of all sizes with a powerful, patented solution that is unique and differentiated, including:
• Enterprise-grade scalable architecture with distributed multi-tenancy that augments streamlined SOC operations and enables MSSPs to deliver managed detection and response (MDR) services with ease.
• Over 325 connectors to easily integrate with all major security vendors and technologies and offers a single, centralized point of visibility and control.
• More than 200 out-of-the-box easy-to-configure playbooks to automate incident response action sequence and routine tasks.
• The most advanced case management modules with incident timeline and asset correlation views, plus an automated ROI or savings measurement tool.
• Ensuring granular role-based access control to secure user-related data.
Ken Xie, Founder and CEO at Fortinet, says, “The growing number of security tools being deployed by enterprises have introduced operational complexities that make organizations more vulnerable to breaches. With the integration of CyberSponse’s powerful SOAR platform into the Fortinet Security Fabric, we will offer customers accelerated incident response and the ability to standardize and scale processes that will enhance security posture and reduce business risk and associated costs.”
