Perfect Harmony as Darktrace acquires Mira Security in Pennsylvania
Mira is a leading provider of network traffic visibility solutions and the acquisition is designed to strengthen Darktrace’s network security leadership by providing more insight from encrypted network traffic, more comprehensive decryption for customers in regulated industries, and help drive the next generation of Darktrace technology.
Combined, Darktrace and Mira Security close the encrypted data blind spot without impacting network performance or requiring complex re-architecting. Mira Security’s engineering team are based in Centurion, South Africa and the United States and will join Darktrace’s R&D division.
Phil Pearson, Chief Strategy Officer at Darktrace said: “The acquisition of Mira Security is another building block in our strategy to develop best-in-class cybersecurity solutions and keep our customers safe through continuous innovation.
“Mira Security has already proven to be a valuable source of insight for our AI, helping us provide unparalleled detection and response capabilities at scale. By bringing the Mira Security team’s deep expertise into Darktrace, we will be able to accelerate innovation, deepen the capabilities of our market-leading Network product and unlock even greater security performance for our customers.”
The acquisition marks the latest step in Darktrace’s ongoing program of investment into both organic and inorganic growth and innovation across its cybersecurity platform. It follows the acquisition of Cado Security to enhance Darktrace’s cloud security capabilities and the April launch of new AI models delivering deeper insights, richer context and enhanced predictions for sharper prioritization and faster threat response.
Niel Viljoen, Founder and CEO of Mira Security added: “The combination of Mira Security and Darktrace’s unique technology and brilliant R&D talent will create even more exciting possibilities for protecting complex network environments. Together, Mira Security and Darktrace will be able to deliver new value for customers and partners.”
