Cyxtera Technologies,
the secure infrastructure company, today announced the completion of the
acquisition of Immunity, Inc., a global leader in offense-oriented cyber
security techniques and technologies. Cyxtera will incorporate Immunity’s
offerings into its portfolio of threat management and analytic services to give
organizations a comprehensive way to address the entire cyber-attack lifecycle
while building cyber-resilience across their IT footprints.
Immunity’s business lines include advanced penetration testing, vulnerability
assessment and consulting services and specialized products that aid in
verifying the security of systems, and in the hunting of adversaries. In
addition, the company owns and operates INFILTRATE, a premier annual technical
conference exclusively focused on offense and counter-offense security issues.
“The last ten years have been a computing revolution, but the next ten
years are going to dwarf it with a rollercoaster ride of advancements”, said
David Aitel, Chief Security Technology Officer for Cyxtera and former CEO of
Immunity, Inc. “Protecting our customers is going to require both situational
awareness and the ability to scale that vision across the complex hybrid
computing architectures of the future. The entire Immunity team is excited to
help build these capabilities starting today.”
“Since the January announcement of our intent to acquire Immunity, the Cyxtera
team has been looking forward to this day as we know it will create tangible
value for global organizations facing persistent security challenges,” said
Christopher Day, Chief Cybersecurity Officer and General Manager, Threat
Management and Analytics for Cyxtera. “We intend to work purposefully and quickly
to make that happen by incorporating Immunity’s deeply talented team and rich
technical capabilities into Cyxtera.”
