Cisco strikes again grabbing threat assessment tool Kenna Security as third acquisition this week
Cisco has been busy on the acquisition front this week, and today the company announced it was buying threat assessment platform Kenna Security, the third company it has purchased this week. The two companies did not disclose the purchase price.
With Kenna, Cisco gets a startup that uses machine learning to sort through the massive pile of threat data that comes into a security system on a daily basis and prioritizes the threats most likely to do the most damage. That could be a very useful tool these days when threats abound and it’s not always easy to know where to put your limited security resources. Cisco plans to take that technology and integrate into its SecureX platform.

Networking vendor Cisco has struck a deal to acquire multilayer network automation and control solution provider Sedonasys Systems, also known as Sedona Systems, for its NetFusion network controller, which it plans to pull into the Cisco Crosswork portfolio.
Headquartered in California with a research and development office in Israel, Sedona Systems’ NetFusion software provides service-to-fibre visibility based on real-time data from operating network domains, including 5G, converged IP and optical core, access and aggregation.
Israeli startup Sedona Systems, a provider of multilayer network intelligence and automation solutions, is set to be acquired by Cisco, the tech conglomerate indicated on Tuesday.
Kevin Wollenweber, VP of networking for Cisco’s Mass-Scale Infrastructure Group, wrote a post announcing the multinational’s intent to acquire the Israeli company, without indicating the financial terms. Israeli business daily CTech by Calcalist estimated the value of the transaction at $100 million.
Founded in 2014, Sedona Systems developed software called NetFusion, Sedona’s network intelligence and automation platform, which offers communications service providers (CSP) a full, near real-time view of the network, enabling data-driven business decisions. NetFusion quickly became a leading, commercially deployed Hierarchical Network Controller (HCO) in the market today and has been adopted by major operators and standard bodies around the world, the company has indicated.
