Mergers and acquisitions.

San Mateo, California-based data security company Imperva is acquiring Massachusetts-headquartered database security provider jSonar. Imperva stated, "Ron Bennatan – a 25 year data security veteran and founder of both jSonar and DAM provider Guardium – will join to lead the Imperva Data Security business, comprising both jSonar and Imperva data security product lines. This combination will form a large development organization dedicated to data security. Additionally, jSonar’s analytics and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform will be used throughout the Imperva solution stack."

Baltimore, Maryland-based digital risk protection provider ZeroFOX has acquired Virginia-based threat intelligence shop Cyveillance from LookingGlass Cyber Solutions. ZeroFOX stated that it "will expand its service offerings for existing customers by leveraging the Cyveillance team, technology and their extensive collection of intelligence data. Existing Cyveillance customers will continue to receive custom Digital Risk Protection services and have access to the power of the ZeroFOX Digital Risk Protection Platform and its industry-leading remediation services." ZeroFOX is the third corporate parent Cyveillance has had in a little over a decade: Cyveillance was acquired by QinetiQ North America in 2009, and LookingGlass bought the unit from QinetiQ North America in 2015.

Cisco is acquiring Israeli DevOps and container security startup Portshift, CRN reports. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but Globes says Cisco is paying approximately $100 million for the company. Liz Centoni, Cisco's Senior Vice President of Strategy, Emerging Technologies and Incubation, stated, "The Portshift team is building capabilities that span a large portion of the lifecycle of the cloud-native application. They bring cloud native application security capabilities and expertise for containers and service meshes for Kubernetes environments to Cisco, which will allow us to move toward the delivery of security for all phases of the application development lifecycle."

Rockwell Automation has acquired Barcelona-based industrial cybersecurity firm Oylo. Oylo will be part of Rockwell's Lifecycle Services operating segment. Rockwell stated, "The addition of Oylo further accelerates our global delivery capability in this rapidly developing market and expands the offering of cybersecurity services available to the industrial market."

Nintex, a Bellevue, Washington-headquartered workflow automation provider, will acquire process automation software company K2 Software (also based in Bellevue). K2's president and CEO Evan Ellis stated, "Combining Nintex's solution portfolio with K2's complementary technologies will further enhance what commercial enterprises and government agencies can achieve through the power of digital process automation."

Emeryville, California-based endpoint management and security company Tanium announced a $150 million funding round from existing investors Fidelity Management & Research Company and Baillie Gifford, and "funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates." The company has now raised over $900 million total and says the latest investment puts its valuation at more than $9 billion. CRN notes that this "likely means that Tanium is the most valuable non-public cybersecurity company in the industry."

The company also announced that it's "closed a $1m contract with the U.S. Air Force to help fight COVID-19 with information and knowledge derived from fragmented public sources."

Portland, Oregon-headquartered firmware security company Eclypsium has secured $13 million in an oversubscribed funding round led by AV8 Ventures, TransLink Capital, Mindset Ventures, Alumni Ventures Group, and Ridgeline Partners, with participation from existing investors Intel Capital, Madrona Venture Group, Andreessen Horowitz, and Ubiquity Ventures.

Companies in the news.

The US House has released the results of its antitrust inquiry into Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. The 449-page report concludes that the four companies possess monopoly power and should have portions of their businesses broken up:

"Although these four corporations differ in important ways, studying their business practices has revealed common problems. First, each platform now serves as a gatekeeper over a key channel of distribution. By controlling access to markets, these giants can pick winners and losers throughout our economy. They not only wield tremendous power, but they also abuse it by charging exorbitant fees, imposing oppressive contract terms, and extracting valuable data from the people and businesses that rely on them. Second, each platform uses its gatekeeper position to maintain its market power. By controlling the infrastructure of the digital age, they have surveilled other businesses to identify potential rivals, and have ultimately bought out, copied, or cut off their competitive threats. And, finally, these firms have abused their role as intermediaries to further entrench and expand their dominance. Whether through self-preferencing, predatory pricing, or exclusionary conduct, the dominant platforms have exploited their power in order to become even more dominant.

"To put it simply, companies that once were scrappy, underdog startups that challenged the status quo have become the kinds of monopolies we last saw in the era of oil barons and railroad tycoons."

CNBC notes that US lawmakers must now rewrite antitrust laws to apply to companies that, to a large extent, offer their products for free while raking in advertising revenue.
