Darktrace, a renowned global force in AI for cybersecurity, has announced its acquisition of Mira Security, a prominent provider of network traffic visibility solutions. The strategic move cements Darktrace's leadership in network security by enhancing insights from encrypted network traffic and offering robust decryption for customers in regulated sectors.
This acquisition eliminates the blind spots often encountered with encrypted data without affecting network performance or necessitating complex rearchitecting, thanks to the previous synergy between the two companies. By merging Mira Security's in-line decryption with Darktrace's advanced analysis, organizations now gain deeper visibility across various environments, particularly benefiting industries like financial services, government, and critical infrastructure.
The acquisition brings Mira Security's engineering team, based in Centurion, South Africa, and the U.S., into Darktrace's R&D division. This integration strengthens Darktrace's networking R&D capabilities, promising cutting-edge hardware innovations like 100 Gbps interfaces and enhanced network acceleration.
Furthermore, Mira Security’s expertise in software and firmware will drive the next generation of Darktrace hardware while enhancing existing product capabilities.
The acquisition complements Darktrace’s ongoing efforts in both organic and inorganic growth within its cybersecurity platform, succeeding its previous acquisition of Cado Security to bolster cloud security capabilities.
Darktrace's NETWORK branch continues to set benchmarks in Network Detection and Response, with commendable recognition across platforms like Gartner’s Magic Quadrant™ and IDC MarketScape for their leadership in the sector.
The partnership between Mira Security and Darktrace promises exciting advancements in protecting intricate network environments, delivering unmatched value to both customers and partners. Existing Mira Security alliances will persist, ensuring seamless integration and execution.
