Cybeats Technologies Inc., a leading software supply chain risk and security technology provider announces a strategic partnership with Veracode, a leading global provider of application security testing solutions.

The partnership will leverage complementary expertise to ensure customers receive the highest standard of cybersecurity solutions. Cybeats' software supply chain security product, SBOM Studio, will be available to customers through Veracode Partners, and the companies will explore joint commercial opportunities. Once generated within the Veracode Continuous Software Security Platform, a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) can enable greater software security by offering a full inventory of the third-party components used within an application. Cybeats SBOM Studio is an enterprise-class solution that helps companies understand and track third-party components that are an integral part of their own software.

Veracode will provide advice and guidance around the commercial deployment of SBOM Studio within its existing customer base. The partnership aims to enable both companies to continue to expand their existing presence in the global cybersecurity market. Through this alliance, the companies' joint customers will be able to maximize their technology investments and procure, develop, and deploy secure software, while reducing the risk of a security breach resulting from weak links in their software supply chain.

"As a Veracode Elite Technology Alliance Partner, Cybeats brings additional expert solutions to the frictionless developer experience already offered by our Continuous Software Security Platform," said Laurie Haley, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Veracode. "By complementing our existing software composition analysis capability, Cybeats' integrated solutions will allow customers to maximize SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) utility and simplify their workflow for greater ROI."

"We are honoured to partner with Veracode to expand each other's presence in the global cybersecurity market. As the cyber risk related to software supply chain attacks continues to mount, deep visibility and universal transparency using SBOMS is necessary for resilient cybersecurity defense."

Yoav Raiter, CEO, Cybeats

"In this modern era of rapid development, the importance of time to market and automation is paramount. Together, Veracode and Cybeats offer a substantial contribution to enabling our customers to align with the SBOM market needs and seamlessly support practices mentioned in SSDF NIST 800-218 framework without increasing the overhead on their development and product security teams," said Dmitry Raidman, CTO, Cybeats

Lookout Announces Acquisition of its Consumer Mobile Security Business Segment

Businesswire | April 27, 2023

Lookout, Inc., the endpoint-to-cloud security company, today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its consumer mobile security business to F-Secure, a global provider of consumer security products and services. This complementary acquisition expands F-Secure’s market leadership in the communication service provider channel and accelerates its vision of becoming the No. 1 security experience company. With this transaction, Lookout’s core business will now evolve into a pure-play enterprise company. “In today's complex cybersecurity landscape, consumers want consolidated solutions that secure every aspect of their digital lives in a seamless experience,” said Jim Dolce, Lookout CEO. “Early discussions with F-Secure led both parties to the realization that we’d be better together. The combination creates a holistic, integrated consumer experience while building on a shared partner-centric go-to-market model. The impact on customers is a genuine example of when one plus one equals three.” With this partial divestiture, Lookout’s core enterprise business will continue to expand and diversify to address the most pressing security challenges facing IT and security leaders today. The core business includes Lookout’s Mobile Endpoint Security (MES) and its Security Services Edge (SSE) cloud-native solution, the Lookout Cloud Security Platform. Lookout plans to redirect the transaction proceeds back into the business and invest in expanding its enterprise products and customer base with a clear focus and vision. “Our success in the highly competitive enterprise market has compelled us to focus our product and go-to-market efforts to gain advantage,” continued Dolce. “By doubling down on the enterprise market, we’ll be better positioned to capitalize on its projected hypergrowth, fueled by an increase in remote and hybrid work, a shift to cloud-based delivery models and the transition to zero-trust architectures.” Lookout entered the fast-growing cloud security market through its acquisition of CipherCloud in March 2021, and that business continues to grow and expand. Its Cloud Security Platform was recently scored among the highest three vendors in the 2023 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Security Service Edge (SSE)1 report in each of the four use cases. The Gartner Critical Capabilities for SSE – an essential companion to the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for SSE2 in which Lookout was named a Visionary for the second year in a row – is a comparative analysis that scores products or services against a set of critical differentiators that every business needs, as identified by Gartner. The divestiture of Lookout’s consumer mobile security business segment is expected to close by the end of June, 2023. About Lookout Lookout, Inc. is the endpoint-to-cloud security company purpose-built for the intersection of enterprise and personal data. We safeguard data across devices, apps, networks and clouds through our unified, cloud-native security platform — a solution that's as fluid and flexible as the modern digital world.
