Overview

• LevelBlue signed a definitive agreement to acquire Cybereason and said both companies will operate independently until the transaction closes with uninterrupted client service.
• The combined offering is slated to pair Cybereason’s XDR, DFIR and threat intelligence with LevelBlue’s AI-driven MDR and incident response to deliver unified detection and response.
• SoftBank Corp., SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Liberty Strategic Capital will become investors in LevelBlue, and Steven T. Mnuchin will join the company’s board.
• LevelBlue plans to integrate Cybereason with recent acquisitions Trustwave and Stroz Friedberg to build a single, technology-agnostic managed security platform.
• The deal expands LevelBlue’s global footprint by leveraging Cybereason’s strong presence in Japan and Continental Europe, supported by Cybereason’s top performance in the 2024 MITRE ATT&CK evaluations.
