‘I cannot think of a better landing spot for ShieldX than Fortinet ... I know this transaction has the potential to be incredibly good for all involved,’ ShieldX CEO Ken Levine wrote on LinkedIn late Friday. By Michael Novinson  March 20, 2021, 09:12 AM EDT
Fortinet has quietly purchased cloud and network security startup ShieldX to give customers a more comprehensive view of end users, workstations, and OT devices. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based platform security vendor closed its acquisition of San Jose, Calif.-based ShieldX March 10, a Fortinet spokesperson told CRN, but the company hadn’t publicly announced the deal. ShieldX CEO Ken Levine posted about the Fortinet transaction on LinkedIn late Friday, which followed a Monday LinkedIn post on the deal by Dave Karp, ShieldX’s SVP of product management and marketing. “I cannot think of a better landing spot for ShieldX than Fortinet,” Levine wrote on LinkedIn Friday. “I know this transaction has the potential to be incredibly good for all involved.”
Fortinet is not disclosing how much it paid for ShieldX, according to a company spokesperson. “After 18 months at ShieldX, I can say with certainty that … this was as smart and as talented and as passionate a team one could wish to be part of,” Levine wrote on LinkedIn. “Adding [in] an exceptional board and advisors, it was a privilege to be CEO.”
The combination of Fortinet and ShieldX has created an integrated offering to address lateral movement prevention as well as the convergence of OT, campus, and multi-cloud data center segmentation, ShieldX wrote on a blog posted to the company’s website March 8 . ShieldX said it can extend perimeter security and campus segmentation with east-west lateral movement prevention. The joint company can better protect data and applications across all environments thanks to the combination of Fortinet’s network security and ShieldX’s customer visibility and controls, the company said. Fortinet’s threat intelligence and alerts combined with the analysis of traffic flowing east-west in the data center should lead to faster response times, according to ShieldX. ShieldX said it can autogenerate security policies for proper segmentation as well as provide context and quantify risk for all assets communicating with applications. The company said its patented microservices architecture allows the platform to elastically scale security while recording all changes in a report to ensure compliance. The company said its unsupervised machine learning can generate security policies based on the risk score associated with vulnerabilities in the application structure. ShieldX said it can also automatically prevent exploits from attacking the vulnerabilities through deep packet inspection as well as the automated creation and deployment of security policies. This is Fortinet’s third deal in the past eight months, and comes three months after the company bought Panopta for $34 million to automate management of servers, containers, applications, databases, cloud infrastructure, and virtual appliances. The company also bought Opaq for $8 million in July to strengthen distributed network protection from data centers and branch offices to remote users and IoT devices. ShieldX was founded in 2015, raised $34 million of outside funding, and employs 43 people, down from a high of 64 employees in April 2019, according to LinkedIn and Crunchbase. The company closed a $25 million Series B round in December 2017 led by Bain Capital Ventures, and followed that with an August 2019 investment for an undisclosed amount from Thomvest Ventures. The company has a number of high-profile board members, including FireEye Founder Ashar Aziz, former Symantec President and COO Michael Fey, former Palo Alto Networks President Mark Anderson, NTT Security CEO Matthew Gyde, and Aspect Ventures Co-Founder Theresia Gouw, who lead the firm’s early investments in Cato Networks, Exabeam and Forescout. The same month Thomvest invested, Levine joined Shield X as CEO following nearly five years leading Waltham, Mass.-based data protection vendor Digital Guardian. “It did not take long for me to recognize that ShieldX is where I wanted to be, if the founders and board would have me,” Levine wrote on a ShieldX blog at the time of his arrival.
