Microsoft Acquires a Third Cybersecurity Startup
Microsoft has announced the acquisition CloudKnox, a security start-up that helps businesses manage their cloud access credentials.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed but it is another addition to Microsoft’s burgeoning security portfolio.
CloudKnox, which was founded in California in 2015, uses automated software to spot and remove cases of unused permissions and virtual identities. It can also be used to show alerts for unusual activity or attempts to use in-active or compromised employee credentials. The firm’s software is already compatible with Microsoft’s Azure, as well as Google Cloud and AWS.
