Cisco grabs SnapAttack for threat detection

Cisco is acquiring threat-detection startup SnapAttack for an undisclosed amount as it continues to expand its security portfolio.
Established in 2001 by Booz Allen’s Dark Labs, SnapAttack is known for its threat detection and engineering technology, which melds threat intelligence, attack emulation, and behavioral analytics to help customers identify potential vulnerabilities and gaps in their networks, ideally before problems happen.
“SnapAttack provides a solution that supports the complete detection content lifecycle, starting with curated detection content discovery that is prioritized by current threat activity, potential impact and other factors, all the way through to the continuous validation, testing and assessment of deployed content,” wrote Mike Horn, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco Splunk Security business, in a blog about the acquisition.
