Imperva Plans to Purchase Prevoty

Imperva, a security firm with products for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments, has announced an agreement to acquire Prevoty, a DevOps security vendor. The cash deal, valued at $140 million (subject to adjustments) is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

According to Imperva, Prevoty's autonomous application protection (AAP) products will combine with Imperva's application protection, application delivery, and data security products to allow for end-to-end security for organizations and their applications.

In addition, the Prevoty offerings for built-in application security are intended to increase Imperva's reach into the DevOps market. In a statement announcing the purchase agreement, Imperva noted that the combination of Prevoty products and Imperva insight products like ThreatRadar should provide greater visibility into threats and vulnerabilities across the enterprise.
