Microsoft has acquired security vendor RiskIQ in an effort to boost cyber security around digital transformation and the concept of zero trust.
The global giant reportedly paid US$500 million cash for the surface-based security and risk management vendor, according to
Bloomberg, and will gain access to the company’s alleged 100,000 users.
According to a Microsoft blog post, RiskIQ’s technology helps customers discover and assess security across the entire attack surface, including “in the Microsoft cloud, AWS [Amazon Web Services], other clouds, on-premises, and from their supply chain”.
