Summary

Mergers and acquisitions.

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is acquiring Virginia-based IT company Unisys Federal for $1.2 billion, according to Inside Defense. The Washington Post says the company hopes the Unisys acquisition, along with SAIC's recent $2.5 billion purchase of Engility, will help position the company as "a leading provider of cloud migration services for the federal government."

McLean, Virginia-based Trowbridge & Trowbridge has acquired Fredericksburg, Virginia-based cybersecurity and IT contractor IntelliWare Systems, Homeland Security Today reports. Trowbridge's CEO Cass Panciocco said in a statement that "IntelliWare adds complementary capabilities, a highly-skilled team of employees, and a new customer base that will help us further enable Federal agencies to integrate emerging technologies with complex systems, and conduct data and intelligence analysis for better informed, more efficient decision making."

Hannover, Germany-based insurance company HDI Group has purchased Berlin-based cybersecurity startup Perseus Technologies, for an undisclosed amount, Insurance Journal notes. HDI Group will use the company to provide cyber insurance policies and cybersecurity services. Perseus will keep all of its employees, along with its independent brand and existing customers.

Accenture has purchased London-based data consultancy Mudano for an undisclosed amount. Accenture's press release says that "Mudano’s data advisory expertise and technology solutions will complement Accenture’s existing capabilities and strengthen its commitment to helping clients generate measurable value and return on investment from large-scale transformation projects."

Private equity firm Advent International, based in Massachusetts, is purchasing all outstanding shares of San Jose, California-based device visibility company Forescout for $1.9 billion. The deal will make Forescout a private company. Crosspoint Capital Partners joins Advent as a co-investor and adviser in the deal. Theresia Gouw, the chair of Forescout's board, stated that "[i]n making its determination, the Board of Directors considered the likely volatility associated with the business model transition to ratable revenue recognition, changes to our go-to-market initiatives, particularly in EMEA, and timing of significant eight-figure deals, while managing to quarterly street estimates as a publicly traded company."

Private equity firm Consecutive, Inc. acquired Texas-based cybersecurity product testing company NSS Labs in October and seems to have merged it with an unnamed Consecutive subsidiary, according to SearchSecurity. Neither company announced the acquisition at the time, although they both somewhat cryptically acknowledged the deal after SearchSecurity reported on it. NSS Labs CEO Jason Brvenik told SearchSecurity that "[t]his is a simple transaction and restructure. We restructured the business to better position for changes we see coming in the cybersecurity market and ensure we have the right partners and structure to deliver on our core mission."

Investments and exits.

Texas-based SOC-as-a-service company Cysiv has received $26 million in a Series A funding round led by ForgePoint Capital, with participation from Trend Forward Capital, Dallas Innovates reports.

Santa Clara, California-based cloud security company Netskope has received $340 million in a funding round led by new investor Sequoia Capital Global Equities, with participation from new investors Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and PSP Investments. Netskope says the new investment brings the company's valuation to nearly $3 billion.

Texas-based SIEM provider Securonix has raised $12 million in funding, according to Dallas Innovates. An SEC filing reveals that the funding took place on December 9th, 2019.
