网络安全领域持续整合,BitSight以1.15亿美元收购Cybersixgill。BitSight专注于网络风险管理,帮助企业评估其风险状况,包括网络攻击面和防御产品。Cybersixgill则专注于网络威胁情报,通过分析暗网活动,提前发现数据泄露和潜在攻击迹象。此次收购将增强BitSight的网络威胁情报能力,结合双方在AI领域的优势,为客户提供更全面的网络安全防护。Cybersixgill曾获得CrowdStrike等投资,但估值有所下降,此次收购将为其技术发展注入更多资金,并将其团队和技术整合到BitSight中。

More consolidation is afoot in the world of cybersecurity. BitSight, the startup last valued at $2.4 billion when ratings firm Moody’s took a majority stake in the business in 2021, is acquiring Cybersixgill for $115 million.

Boston-based BitSight’s focus is cyber risk management. It works with enterprises to assess their risk profiles and specifically the likelihood that they will be breached, which covers not just evaluating a company’s attack surface across its network and other digital assets, but also the products that it uses to defend these.

Cybersixgill will give BitSight another level of visibility in that effort: the smaller startup specifically analyzes dark web activity to proactively look for data leaks and indicators of potential breaches and new techniques. The collective area it focuses on is called “cyber threat intelligence” and it says it covers invite-only messaging groups, code repositories, paste sites, and clear web platforms.

Both companies lean heavily on AI in their work, and it sounds like they will complement each other in terms of what they cover.  

The smaller company, based out of Israel, originally launched as Sixgill and had raised just under $56 million with investors including CrowdStrike, Terra Venture and OurCrowd, per PitchBook data. But PitchBook also notes that the startup was last valued, in 2022, at just over $162 million. Cybersecurity has been a white-hot area of the market for funding in the last couple of years, but rising tides to not lift all paper boats.

The deal will come with more money put into the tech that Cybersixgill was building. “We’re committed to investing in Cybersixgill’s industry-leading products and will continue to drive innovation to bring even greater value to customers,” said Steve Harvey, CEO of Bitsight, in a canned statement. The company is bringing on both the team and the tech.
