Zscaler acquires Smokescreen.
Immuta raises $90 million in Series D round.

Mergers and acquisitions.

San Jose, California-based cloud security firm Zscaler will acquire Mumbai-based defense and deception technology provider Smokescreen Technologies. Zscaler said in its announcement, "Smokescreen's cutting edge capabilities will be integrated into the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™, further building upon Zscaler’s ability to precisely detect the most sophisticated, highly targeted attacks, ransomware, and lateral movement attempts. Additionally, Smokescreen will help provide rich threat intelligence and telemetry for the Zscaler team to proactively hunt for emerging adversary tactics and techniques."

San Francisco-based fraud prevention firm Sift will acquire Chargeback, a dispute management automation company based in Salt Lake City. Sift stated, "With the addition of Chargeback to Sift’s platform, merchants will gain access to a complete solution that addresses risk before, during, and after user transactions. Specifically, the two companies prevent both 'true' fraud, which occurs when stolen credentials or payment information is used to make purchases, as well as 'friendly' fraud, which occurs when consumers make false chargeback claims to their payment providers (e.g., about undelivered or unsatisfactory merchandise). Additionally, Chargeback's pre-built connector within the Sift Connect integration hub adds to the rich data from integrations with leading payment service providers (PSPs) already available in the Sift App Gallery."

UK-headquartered IT distributor Nuvias has acquired cloud security distributor Cloud Distribution (also based in the UK). Cloud Distribution's CEO Greg Harris stated, "Joining forces with the Nuvias Group provides a significant acceleration platform for what Cloud Distribution does best, as we become part of a leading European growth focused VAD with scalable services propositions. Our strengths and competencies complement each other well, allowing us to address both emerging and mature market players and intercept the opportunity offered by important IT trends, such as XaaS and the move to the Cloud, accelerated by the mass remote working practices."

Tessian will also use the funding to triple its rapidly growing employee base, with a particular focus on growing its sales team in North America."

Redwood City, California-based zero-trust email security firm Material Security has raised $40 million in a Series B round led by angel investor Elad Gil, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz.

More than 50% of this growth will come from the US."
