We’re excited to announce that BastionZero, a Zero Trust infrastructure access platform, has joined Cloudflare. This acquisition extends our Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) flows with native access management for infrastructure like servers, Kubernetes clusters, and databases.

It is a proud and exciting day for me to announce that Bugcrowd has acquired Informer. On this momentous day, I can’t help but take a walk down memory lane, thinking about the past decade of hard work and innovation that led us to this moment. Ten years ago, I founded a specialist penetration testing business called The Security Bureau. As our client base grew, certain patterns emerged and it became clear that many organizations were unsure of exactly which assets were internet-facing.

Mergers and acquisitions often sound amazing to the Board, but they can become an operational nightmare for the infrastructure, networking, and security teams. In recent years, I’ve worked with a fair few highly acquisitive organisations and so I have seen firsthand that the practical steps to onboard new users can become hugely challenging–especially when the two organisations are running different technologies.

The security solutions landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace, with significant acquisitions reshaping the market. Notably, Palo Alto Networks has acquired IBM's QRadar product line, and Exabeam and LogRhythm have announced their merger. These moves echo Cisco's previous acquisition of Splunk, highlighting a trend where major players like AWS, Microsoft, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike are consolidating their positions in the SIEM and security analytics space.

As I travel around the world meeting with customers and prospects, we often discuss the tectonic shifts happening in the industry. At the heart of their strategic initiatives, organizations are striving to innovate rapidly and deliver customer value with uncompromising quality and security, while gaining a competitive edge in the market.

JumpCloud has acquired Resmo, an asset management and SaaS security solution, to provide customers a unified solution of SaaS, IT security, and asset management that empowers them to eliminate shadow IT and gain full visibility into all apps and cloud infrastructure in an all-in-one solution. The inclusion of Resmo’s technologies will enhance JumpCloud’s ability to help customers deliver secure and streamlined user provisioning, access request management, and utilization monitoring.

We are more than excited for our next chapter ahead to build the industry’s most complete ASPM with the mission to deliver safe code, faster. Follow us on LinkedIn Cycode to continue on our journey. Join our upcoming webinar.

I’m thrilled to announce CrowdStrike’s agreement to acquire Flow Security, a pioneer in data security posture management (DSPM) and the industry’s first and only cloud data runtime security solution. With this acquisition, CrowdStrike is setting the standard for modern cloud security with complete real-time data protection spanning endpoint and cloud environments, delivering the only cloud data protection platform that secures data both at rest and in motion.
