Cyxtera Technologies, the secure infrastructure company, has announced the completion of the acquisition of Immunity Inc, a global leader in offence-oriented cybersecurity techniques and technologies. Cyxtera will incorporate Immunity’s offerings into its portfolio of threat management and analytic services to give organisations a comprehensive way to address the entire cyberattack lifecycle while building cyber-resilience across their IT footprints.
Immunity’s business lines include advanced penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and consulting services and specialised 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 offence and counter-offence security issues.
“The last 10 years have been a computing revolution, but the next 10 years are going to dwarf it with a roller-coaster 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 organisations 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.”
