LiveAction, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based network performance management company, acquired CounterFlow AI, a Crozet (Charlottesville Area), VA-based network detection and response (NDR) provider.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Upon closing the acquisition, LiveAction’s immediate focus will be product development and integration, as well as communications with its global community of partners and customers.
This acquisition will provide LiveAction’s current and future end customers and channel partners with a unified network performance monitoring and diagnostics (NPMD) platform that incorporates encrypted traffic analysis for security incident detection and response.
The combined platform will streamline previously siloed network operations (NetOps) and security operations (SecOps) workflows, using common data, platform integration and improved visualization to increase the speed and efficiency with which organizations manage network and security events.
