Cybereason, a provider of endpoint security, has acquired empow for an undisclosed amount.

Founded in 2014, empow uses AI/ML/NLP and cause-and-effect analytics to provide security solutions such as Correlation, Security information and event management (SIEM), and Extended Detection and Response (XDR), to reduce the noise of false positives on the endpoint, network, and cloud. In its latest funding round in April 2018, empow raised USD 10 million in Series B funding, bringing the total funds raised to USD 21 million.

The acquisition expands Cybereason’s extended detection and response (XDR) portfolio with empow’s patented predictive response technology that enforces proactive threat detection and response on the endpoint, network, identity, and application telemetry. The acquisition will also integrate with more than 70 IT and security service vendors including firewall providers, email and web gateways, cloud infrastructure, threat intelligence vendors, and empow’s product and engineering expertise.

Founded in 2012, Cybereason offers an endpoint security platform that includes next-generation antivirus (NGAV) programs, endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, extended detection and response (XDR) tools, anti-ransomware solutions, and a platform to centrally manage security policies across corporate endpoints. The company’s endpoint solutions leverage AI and behavioral analysis to identify known and unknown threats and automate response and remediation following a security incident. Cybereason also offers a breach protection warranty of up to USD 1 million at the highest tier of its endpoint protection products.
