LevelBlue has completed the acquisition of cybersecurity firm Cybereason.
The deal establishes LevelBlue as the world's largest pure-play MSSP.
It combines advanced XDR technology with elite managed detection and response (MDR) services.
Strategic investors SoftBank and Liberty Strategic Capital have joined the cap table.
The merger significantly expands global reach, with a stronger presence in North America, Europe, and Asia, particularly Japan.
Clients gain access to a unified platform with enhanced AI capabilities and threat intelligence.
The completion of this acquisition marks a pivotal moment for the cybersecurity industry, uniting two major players. The integration brings together Cybereason's renowned Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform and digital forensics expertise with LevelBlue's extensive managed security services and consulting portfolio. This synergy is designed to help organizations move beyond reactive security measures and build long-term, proactive cyber resilience by leveraging both AI-powered technology and human expert analysis.
For clients, the immediate benefit is a vastly expanded and more powerful suite of security services. The combined forces of LevelBlue and Cybereason deliver several key enhancements. The integration creates a stronger endpoint security offering by pairing Cybereason's XDR with LevelBlue's MDR services, leading to faster threat detection and reduced dwell time. Furthermore, the addition of Cybereason's digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) technology and team, alongside the recent acquisition of Stroz Friedberg, creates a world-class DFIR service with extensive global coverage.
The merger is bolstered by the inclusion of new strategic investors and the appointment of Steven T. Mnuchin, former U.S. Treasury Secretary, to LevelBlue's Board of Directors. This not only reinforces the company's financial standing but also its strategic direction. The combined entity is poised to offer technology-agnostic solutions that optimize a client's existing security investments, whether they rely on Microsoft, SentinelOne, or other platforms. With an enhanced global footprint, particularly in the key Asian market of Japan, LevelBlue is now equipped to deliver its unified, AI-enhanced cybersecurity platform on a truly international scale, setting a new standard for managed security services.
