Vectra AI, the cybersecurity AI company protecting modern networks from advanced threats, has acquired Netography, a pioneer in cloud-native network observability, to bolster its platform's capabilities for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises. This strategic move integrates Netography Fusion as Vectra Fusion, delivering agentless observability and AI-driven attack signal intelligence to provide comprehensive visibility and proactive defense against domain traversal by attackers.
As enterprises shift to cloud-first models with distributed workforces and expanding IoT/OT ecosystems, traditional perimeters dissolve, creating hybrid architectures vulnerable to rapid attacker movement. Vectra AI's acquisition of Netography addresses this by combining software-defined observability with AI-powered attack detection, offering SOC teams a unified view of network activity across on-premises, multi-cloud, and SaaS landscapes. This convergence eliminates visibility gaps, empowering defenders to detect and disrupt threats before escalation.
According to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response (2025), Vectra AI is named a Leader, positioned highest for Ability to Execute and furthest for Completeness of Vision. Gartner highlights that "as hybrid and multi-cloud adoption accelerates, NDR platforms that extend beyond traditional packet inspection to include flow logs, cloud telemetry, and identity data are rapidly becoming indispensable to SOC operations." Vectra AI's acquisition of Netography directly aligns with this shift.
Netography's cloud-native observability orchestrates VPC flow logs, automates workload onboarding, and ensures consistent insights across AWS, Azure, GCP, and legacy systems. Integrated as Vectra Fusion, it enriches Vectra AI's attack signal clarity with control plane and data plane context, enabling precise anomaly detection and automated responses. This agentless approach minimizes deployment friction, supporting scalable protection for dynamic environments without performance overhead.
"Enterprises will be hybrid forever," says Hitesh Sheth, CEO of Vectra AI, "and only AI can deliver the signal at the speed and scale required to defend them. Network-derived signal is the ultimate source of truth, not only for detecting active threats but also for managing overall exposure. With Netography, we add the breadth of cloud-native observability to Vectra AI's depth of attack signal clarity. The outcome is one converged platform that gives security teams the power to proactively and reactively protect hybrid enterprises with unmatched speed and precision."
Martin Roesch, CEO of Netography echoes Hitesh's comments, "For years, we've argued that observability must be cloud-native, software-defined, and frictionless because visibility without scale is an illusion. With Vectra AI, that observability becomes truly actionable. Our combined platform gives defenders uniform visibility, context, and control across any environment, finally matching the speed and agility of modern attackers."
Early adopters like FICO and Rubrik report transformative impacts: "Bringing Netography's cloud observability together with Vectra AI's attack signal intelligence will give us the unified visibility and trusted detections we've been waiting for," says Yoni Kaplansky, Head of Cyber Architecture, Engineering, and Operations at FICO. "It aligns directly with our strategy to strengthen security operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments while reducing operational overhead."
"Before Netography Fusion, scaling observability across multi-cloud and on-prem was a constant challenge," says Faan DeSwardt, Cloud Architect at Rubrik. "Now, we have a single, consistent view of network activity, enriched with context we can act on. It's changed how quickly and confidently our SOC can investigate and contain issues."
Art Coviello, former Executive Chairman of RSA and Managing Partner at SYN Ventures, was an early investor in Netography and is widely recognized as one of the most influential voices in cybersecurity. With decades of experience advising enterprises and shaping the security industry, he sees the convergence of observability and detection as a defining shift in how organizations defend hybrid enterprises. "This move reflects where the industry is headed — toward converged platforms that reduce tool sprawl while increasing efficacy. By marrying modern attack signal clarity with observability, Vectra AI and Netography are giving enterprises what they've been asking for: the ability to defend complex hybrid environments with confidence and control."
This acquisition sets a benchmark for converged cybersecurity platforms, empowering hybrid enterprises to eliminate blind spots, streamline investigations, and neutralize threats with enterprise-scale precision and speed.
Vectra AI, Inc. is the cybersecurity AI company that protects modern networks from modern attacks.
