Info Risk Today – Devon Warren-Kachelein
Automation leader SentinelOne has announced this week its plans to buy Attivo Networks, a leading identity and cyber deception security firm, for $615.5 million in a cash and stock transaction.

Described as a play to enhance zero trust integration and thwart identity-based attacks, Attivo Networks’ endpoint agent will blend into SentinelOne’s Singularity XDR platform. The merge would also add more visibility into end-user activity as remote work and cloud adoption have increased organizational network risk via end users.

Some are commending the announcement, saying it will aid in deterring attackers from targeting networks monitored by this technology. Other analysts, however, view the acquisition as a consolidation move, fearing it may stifle innovation or worse, as this trend continues in 2022.
