Tenable announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Alsid SAS. Alsid for Active Directory is a Software as a Service solution with an on-premises deployment option that monitors the security of Active Directory in real time.

"We're impressed with the insights that Alsid brings to enterprise customers and look forward to working with the Alsid team to add this critical element to Cyber Exposure and risk management."

"We started Alsid to help organizations solve one of the biggest security challenges, an unprotected Active Directory, which is one of the most common ways for threat actors to move laterally across enterprise systems," said Emmanuel Gras, CEO and co-founder, Alsid.

"Our approach has always focused on helping our customers anticipate future attacks so they can keep their business running as usual. We believe Tenable cherishes this same vision of cybersecurity, and we're excited to join forces and to have the opportunity to provide our users with a better, more complete approach to cyber preparedness."

Alsid's founders will join Tenable in senior leadership roles focused on continuing to develop innovative solutions to Active Directory risk and security assessment and expanding into new markets globally.

Under the terms of the agreement, Tenable will acquire Alsid for a total purchase price of $98 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
