History
2019: McAfee purchased NanoSec
In August, 2019 McAfee announced NanoSec acquisition, but the price of the transaction of the company was not set.
The assistant to the vice president for cloud security of McAfee of the Rajah Rajiv Gupta commented on NanoSec purchase as follows:
When I have microservices, quantity of entrance doors and auxiliary doors becomes much bigger. I would like to be sure that there is no collateral channel which would allow my system to be infected compromised or traced. Requirements to transparency and control become much more strict. |
The NanoSec tools are focused on providing higher level of monitoring. Treat them telemetry in real time which detects abnormal activities and also the system of permissions which is based on identifiers of applications, but not on signals which can lose relevance.
By August, 2019 NanoSec has 20 employees who work at offices in Cupertino (USA) and Bangalore (India). All personnel passed into McAfee.[1]
