Cisco has announced the intent to acquire SnapAttack, a privately held company headquartered in Arlington, VA that offers a threat detection and engineering platform.
At a time when organizations around the world need to build digital resilience more than ever, SnapAttack will provide critical threat detection and engineering (TD/E) technology, intellectual property, and expertise to help Cisco’s Splunk further accelerate its organic threat detection content and engineering roadmap.
SnapAttack’s complete TD/E management lifecycle solution provides security analysts with the ability to continuously assess, organize and optimize their security content, streamlining the research, writing, validation and deployment of threat detections across their technology estate.
Moreover, SnapAttack helps a growing number of customers that are migrating over to Splunk Enterprise Security from competing solutions to easily adapt, deploy and validate their existing security content onto Splunk, and modernize their SIEM with a simple and seamless TD/E solution.
SnapAttack is led by strong technical leaders with deep domain expertise. SnapAttack represents a unique opportunity to acquire a strong threat detection and engineering-centric team to further augment Cisco and Splunk’s existing engineering talent.
