UK data security company Mimecast has bought Israeli cybsersecurity firm Solebit for $88m. It said the deal would strengthen its platform with powerful threat protection technology. Solebit, founded in 2018, helps detect threats in advance by checking content as it enters an organisation’s system and recognising when it carries a malicious code. It then tells the company what created a threat and why. Solebit will now become Mimecast’s Israeli development centre. Its threat detection software is already integrated into Mimecast’s Targeted Threat Protection products. Mimecast recently bought security training and awareness operation Ataata.
