Cribl buys AI-native threat detection engineering startup CardinalOps

Data observability and telemetry management company Cribl Inc. says it’s extending its capabilities into security operations after acquiring the artificial intelligence-native security engineering startup CardinalOps Ltd. for an undisclosed price.

Cribl said that buying CardinalOps will give it advanced “detection engineering capabilities” that will help its enterprise customers to detect more sophisticated cybersecurity threats. It will also give them an easy way to beef up their security information and event management, data lake and extended detection and response systems, the company said.

CardinalOps has built an array of AI tools and systems designed to help enterprises identify, manage and reduce their threat exposure level. It does this by enhancing their ability to detect potential issues across all of their security tools, supporting continuous threat exposure management. Its technology works by mapping security controls against the real-world behavior of cyber adversaries, automating detection engineering tasks and helping teams to find and eliminate coverage gaps and broken or noisy rules that could be exploited by attackers.
