Cybersecurity Company LevelBlue Completes Third Acquisition in 2025
The fall of 2025 brought a relative quiet to the cybersecurity industry compared to the summer, with fewer major deals being made by cybersecurity vendors. However, amidst this quieter period, significant acquisitions still took place, with Veeam’s announcement of acquiring Securiti AI and LevelBlue confirming its third acquisition of 2025 with Cybereason.
Veeam Software, a prominent data backup provider, revealed on October 21 that it had entered into an agreement to purchase Securiti AI for $1.725 billion. Securiti AI is known for its specialization in multi-cloud data security posture management, privacy, and AI governance, having previously raised $156 million in funding.
Another noteworthy acquisition came from Dataminr, which expressed its intention to acquire ThreatConnect, a cyber threat intelligence provider, for $290 million. This move signifies a strategic partnership between Dataminr Pulse for Cyber Risk and ThreatConnect to offer joint services to their respective customers. Dataminr had recently finalized a $300 million financing round led by Fortress and NightDragon.
TrustArc, a compliance provider, also saw changes in ownership as Bregal Sagemount announced the sale of TrustArc to Main Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in the Netherlands. Main Capital Partners aims to expand TrustArc’s reach in Europe and India, with TrustArc having previously raised $107 million in funding.
Cybereason, backed by prominent investors like SoftBank Corp., SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and Liberty Strategic Capital, faced tough competition in the extended detection and response (XDR) market, especially in the US. To strengthen its position, Cybereason entered into a definitive agreement with LevelBlue, a managed security service provider (MSSP) that was formerly part of AT&T Cybersecurity. The financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed, but this marks LevelBlue’s third acquisition of the year following Trustwave and Aon’s Cybersecurity & IP Litigation Consulting groups.
Imprivata, a US-based identity threat detection and response (ITDR) provider, acquired Verosint for an undisclosed sum. Verosint’s solutions are set to be integrated into Imprivata’s enterprise access management platform, with Verosint having previously raised $12 million in funding.
Pentera, a security validation company, announced its plans to acquire Israeli start-up DevOcean and its AI-remediation platform to provide automated cyber risk reduction. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Lastly, Kaseya, an IT and security management firm, acquired INKY, a US startup specializing in generative-AI-based email security for managed service providers (MSPs) and small to midsize businesses (SMBs). INKY had previously raised $31.8 million in funding, but the specific financial details of the acquisition were not made public.
