F5 Networks makes a move towards the security market and acquires Versafe, an Israel-based developer of online fraud, phishing and malware solutions, for an unspecified sum.
Versafe solutions are combined into the Security Operations Centre (SOC), a subscription-based security offering.
“The acquisition supports F5’s vision and commitment to provide our customers with secure access to data and applications from any location; from any device,” F5 Networks says. “Web applications are under increasing attack, which can lead to the theft of intellectual property, money, sensitive data and identity. Versafe provides comprehensive, real-time detection and protection for every user, every device and every browser.”
The two companies are already familiar with each other-- Versafe is an F5 Technology Alliance Partner with integration through F5 iRules technology.
