Scottish-founded security analytics company ZoneFox gets acquired by Fortinet

US-based cybersecurity company Fortinet has acquired ZoneFox, an insider threat detection and response company headquartered in Edinburgh.

Founded in 2012, ZoneFox protects companies' sensitive data and IP from bad actors within the organisation, as well as from accidental leaks. It provides complete visibility of all actions performed on any endpoint — that is, a laptop or desktop computer or a mobile device.

ZoneFox's team will join Fortinet as part of the agreement, while its technology will be implemented in the FortiClient endpoint security solution.

“We’re pleased to join the Fortinet team and bring together our shared vision of alleviating CISO concerns about insider threats,” said Jamie Graves, CEO and founder at ZoneFox. “Integrating our solution with the Fortinet Security Fabric will allow us to extend our reach to a broad spectrum of Fortinet and third-party solutions to solve customers’ most difficult challenges in network security.”
