Sophos has acquired Barricade, a Cork start-up with a behaviour-based analytics engine built on machine learning techniques. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Barricade has an impressive team of experts in data science and machine learning, and they share the Sophos vision for security made simple,” said Bill Lucchini, senior vice president and general manager of the cloud security group at Sophos. “Delivering advanced protection to partners and customers without adding layers of complexity is at the core of our product strategy.
“Enterprise-grade security should be available to all organisations, and the acquisition of Barricade will accelerate the next phase of synchronized security innovation across the Sophos Central management platform.”
David Coallier, CEO, Barricade, said: “We share the same development philosophy as Sophos – IT security can be complex but managing security products shouldn’t be. We are proud of the technology we have built and are pleased to join the team at Sophos focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning based security analytics. Driving the development of our technology into a comprehensive security solution that every IT professional can use presents us with the next phase in our exciting journey.”
