Microsoft will buy the Israeli company Adallom for $320.000.000. The startup Ádallom develops software security for cloud services.
Currently, the company has 90 employees (30 of them located in the US). When the acquisition is completed, it will act as an independent Microsoft division and will handle it as related to Microsoft Cloud Security.
Microsoft has so far not confirmed the information that they leaked from VB.
Israeli media Calcalist and Globes reported on the deal over the weekend, followed by Reuters and the Wall Street Journal.
Η Microsoft με τον διευθύνοντα σύμβουλο Satya Nadella είναι σαφές ότι κοιτάζει στην οικοδόμηση “μιας έξυπνης πλατφόρμας cloud.” Φυσικά η ασφάλεια του Cloud είναι υψίστης σημασίας για την εταιρία που τα τελευταία χρόνια δείχνει να επενδύει πολλά στο σύννεφο. Internet-based applications As the Office 365 αποφέρουν πάρα πολλά έσοδα και σίγουρα η εταιρεία θέλει να είναι σίγουρη ότι τα δεδομένα της είναι ασφαλή.
The Adallom service monitors the use of the Amazon Web Services, Ariba, Box, Dropbox, Google Apps, Office 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Yammer cloud applications.
It collects data from the typical use of applications, analyzes them and alerts administrators of any abnormalities that could pose security issues.
Adalom started 2012 and currently has offices in Palo Alto, Calif., And Tel Aviv.
