Cybersecurity vendor Kaspersky has acquired Brain4Net in a move the vendor said will boost its XDR platform with orchestrated SASE. By acquiring Brain4Net, Kaspersky aims to bring a completely new SASE offering to the market as a unified platform which will combine its best-in-class security solutions and technologies with Brain4Net’s network orchestration and control capabilities and expertise.

“We are excited to join forces with Brain4Net’s talented team who have already built mature world-class technologies and services for network orchestration and control. I’m confident that their knowledge and experience, combined with Kaspersky’s most awarded security technologies and recognised threat expertise will blend perfectly with our vision for corporate security, while new offerings will help security officers speed up threat detection, investigation and remediation, reducing mean time to response,”said Andrey Efremov, Chief Business Development Officer, Kaspersky.

Max Kaminskiy, CEO and Co-Founder, Brain4Net, added: “We are delighted to join the Kaspersky team. The spread of SD-WAN technology needs a strong business scenario, that is why we are partnering with Kaspersky XDR. Brain4Net’s choice of technologies confirms the high level of the company’s products and competencies. Together we will continue to make the world a safer and more comfortable place.”
