FireEye Announces Acquisition of Invotas International Corporation

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 1, 2016) - FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the leader in stopping today's advanced cyber attacks, today announced the acquisition of privately held Invotas International Corporation, a provider of security automation and orchestration technology. The transaction closed on February 1, 2016.

The acquisition enables FireEye to deliver one of the world's premier security orchestration capabilities as part of the FireEye global threat management platform. FireEye will leverage the technologies of Invotas® Security Orchestrator to unify cyber attack detection results, threat intelligence and incident response elements of an organization's security program into a single console, giving enterprises the ability to respond more quickly to attacks through automation. 

With this acquisition, FireEye takes the lead in helping customers deal with the severe shortage of resources by automating the security process and building intelligence into their operations. FireEye offers threat intelligence that helps organizations focus on their most critical threats, and the Invotas Security Orchestrator will leverage this intelligence and FireEye high-fidelity detection to help security teams move from alert to remediation in minutes. FireEye will then automate responses based on playbooks developed by FireEye's Mandiant consultants, leveraging more than a decade of incident response experience codified to assist customers.

The Invotas acquisition furthers FireEye efforts aimed at providing real-time visibility that allows security teams to rapidly identify security risks and advanced threats, automate mitigation actions to prevent the spread of malware, and expedite the resolution of security and compliance issues. As part of its efforts to accelerate alert to fix, FireEye partners with ForeScout, a leading provider of technologies that enables organizations to see devices the instant they connect to the network, control them and orchestrate information sharing and operation among disparate security tools. FireEye will leverage Invotas' security orchestration and automation technology to expand its partnership with ForeScout, with plans to roll out new joint capabilities that continue to help customers drive down time to protection.
