ForeScout Technologies acquires the Eindhoven-based company SecurityMatters for 113 million dollars. SecurityMatters was founded in 2009 and is a spin-off of the Eindhoven University of Technology. The company provides network security for operational technology (OT), where computers can adjust physical states of systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cVirtually every company with\u00a0OT\u00a0needs to rethink its cybersecurity strategy,\u201d said Damiano Bolzoni, founder and CEO, SecurityMatters. \u201cAfter partnering with ForeScout for the last year, it became clear that we shared the same vision. Now as a single company, we will be able to accelerate our momentum and create the industry\u2019s first capability to truly segment\u00a0IT\u00a0and\u00a0OT\u00a0environments.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cForeScout\u2019s acquisition of SecurityMatters is a natural fit as it takes us deeper into a market where we have an established foothold and are seeing explosive customer demand,\u201d said Michael DeCesare, CEO and president, ForeScout Technologies. \u201cSecurityMatters\u2019 technology and talent will accelerate our success in securing\u00a0OT, expand our total addressable market and reinforce our solution as the industry\u2019s only, end-to-end agentless device visibility and control platform.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
