Vectra AI Acquires Siriux Security Technologies

Vectra AI has acquired Siriux Security Technologies, a provider of identity and SaaS posture management. Vectra can now enable customers to securely configure and detect active threats in cloud identity and SaaS applications, including Microsoft Azure AD and Microsoft 365.

Vectra provides artificial intelligence (AI)-driven threat detection and response for hybrid and multicloud infrastructures, including public cloud, SaaS, network and identity. Siriux extends Vectra’s coverage even earlier in the threat life cycle. It provides a layer of analytics to assess complex identity and SaaS configurations, closing the loopholes that allow access to attackers.

Randy Schirman is Vectra’s channel chief.

“The ability to create a clear picture of an organization’s Microsoft 365 security posture along with recommendations, coupled with Vectra’s traditional world-class detection and remediation capabilities, offers partners an incredible one-two punch in terms of value creation and consultative selling,” he said. “This acquisition opens up the full spectrum of sales possibilities, from creating initial awareness/visibility all the way through remediation service offerings. “

Vectra channel partners now have an “incredible” opportunity to enhance their brand value and to extend both directions in the sales process beyond product delivery, Schirman said.

“Whereas others might be able to address a portion of the end users’ journey, Vectra partners are with them throughout,” he said. “As a result, additional customer service wraps are available, customer consultative selling is extended and brand differentiation occurs. We are incredibly excited to share more with our partners and to enhance their overall go-to-market (GTM) offerings.”

Financial terms of the Siriux deal have not been disclosed. As a part of the transaction, Siriux will operate under the Vectra brand and leadership.
