Microsoft Purchasing RiskIQ to Improve Hybrid Work Cybersecurity
Microsoft has entered an agreement to purchase RiskIQ in an effort to improve hybrid work cybersecurity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forever altered the workforce, leading many companies to speed up their adoption of remote and hybrid work strategies. Despite the benefits of this approach, cybersecurity can pose additional challenges as people work remotely, often using personal computers and devices.
Microsoft is acquiring RiskIQ to help address this shortcoming, as RiskIQ provides a cloud-based SaaS cybersecurity platform. The company helps companies provide security beyond the firewall, analyzing and assessing the overall attack surface of the entire organization. This includes a company’s cloud resources, on-premise resources and supply chains.
