Cisco Buys Observable Networks

Print

Cisco buys more security capabilities with Observable Networks, a startup offering network-security-as-a-service technology with a focus on cloud deployments.

CiscoObservable Networks technology is based on dynamic behavioural modeling of all devices on the network. It provides real-time situational awareness of all users, devices and traffic on the network, whether in the datacentre or the cloud, with cloud-native machine learning techniques promising faster and more accurate identification of insider and external threats.

The design supports cloud environments, and enables turn-key activation for customers using Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.

Post-acquisition Observable Networks employees will make part of Cisco, while the technology will be used to extend the Stealthwatch solution to the cloud.
