A global security company called AlgoSec bought Prevasio, which is a cloud-native application protection platform with an anti-malware scan, a vulnerability assessment, and dynamic analysis for containers. AlgoSec can now give customers a full security solution that includes protection for cloud-native applications, management of cloud security posture, anti-malware scanning, vulnerability assessment, and dynamic analysis for containers.
With the acquisition, AlgoSec will be able to offer Prevasio's solution to its 1,800 enterprise customers and new customers at competitive prices. This will help them lower their cloud security costs. Prevasio's solution is designed to improve the security posture of all cloud assets, including containers, and provide increased visibility into security issues and compliance gaps.
"Applications are the lifeblood of organizations. As such, our customers have an urgent need to effectively secure the connectivity of those applications across cloud and hybrid estates to avoid unpleasant surprises. With Prevasio, organizations can now confidently secure their cloud-native applications to increase organizational agility and harden their security posture. It also uses technology made by the Stanford Research Institute International to analyze assets across multiple cloud platforms and put risks in order of importance based on different rules. AlgoSec will be able to give customers better security, better visibility, and cost savings with Prevasio's solution."
AlgoSec CEO, Yuval Baron
AlgoSec plans to incorporate artificial intelligence capabilities from SRI into the Prevasio solution. This integration of artificial intelligence will enable organizations to identify and remediate cloud security risks more efficiently while also helping them keep their costs down.
