Response (MDR) Platform for MSPs integrated with OpenText's
Cybersecurity
WATERLOO, ON, May 22, 2024
/CNW/ -- Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX), today
announced that it has purchased Pillr, an MDR platform from
Novacoast, Inc.
Pillr technology is a cloud native, multi-tenant MDR platform
for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that includes Managed
Detection and Response and powerful threat-hunting capabilities.
This combination of Pillr technology and OpenText security
expertise provides enhanced threat hunting, monitoring, and
response for customers where skill gaps, skill shortages, and alert
fatigue create a significant need today.
The acquisition accelerates OpenText's Cybersecurity product
roadmap to offer key features including API integrations and
product/pricing bundling for MSPs seeking a comprehensive solution
to protect, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats.
"We are pleased to welcome Pillr customers and employees to
OpenText", said Mark J. Barrenechea OpenText CEO & CTO.
"Cyber threats continue to rise fast and are growing more
sophisticated. Organizations need advanced Managed Detection and
Response solutions to prevent attackers from gaining the foothold
needed to launch an attack. The combination of Pillr's platform
with our existing Threat Detection offerings strengthens OpenText's
position in the cybersecurity market and reinforces our commitment
to our SMB partners and customers."
The Pillr technology acquisition is not material to OpenText's
financial results.
