Qualys has acquired the software assets of Spell Security, an endpoint detection and response start-up.
"The entire Spell Security team and I are thrilled to be part of such a pioneering and innovative cybersecurity company. Qualys' approach to delivering a unified cloud platform with all the information needed for protection, detection and response at your fingertips is well ahead of anything we've seen. This groundbreaking approach allows expert Threat Hunters, who are in great demand, to respond more effectively to the most sophisticated attacks. Thus, drastically reducing the time to respond," said Rajesh Mony, founder and CTO of Spell Security.
"Spell Security's thought leadership blended with their immense talent and experience delivers great value for our organization. The Spell Hunt Platform and hunting reports give Hughes Systique, actionable visibility into our endpoints for malicious activities. With Spell Hunt Reporting, our Infosec team receives the much-needed information to keep our company assets secure. Bringing together asset management, vulnerability risk management and multi-vector EDR into a single console is very powerful. I can't wait to look at the new Qualys Multi-Vector EDR offering," said Bhupinder Singh, AVP, Hughes Systique Corporation.
With native integration of Spell Security hunting and reporting capabilities on the Qualys platform, Qualys Multi-Vector EDR will enable security teams to detect and hunt for high fidelity threats, gain the full context of the attack path with powerful correlation of all security vectors for investigation and prioritization of security incidents, and respond appropriately to eliminate the root cause of the incident.
"Adding their technology to the Qualys Cloud Platform enables us to further strengthen our security and threat research, advanced endpoint behavior detection and provide customers with enhanced telemetry for even greater visibility, which helps them respond to threats more quickly. We welcome Spell Security to the Qualys family."
